<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Monday August 1st, this blog, and my website, are changing... to a new name, a new brand, a new domain, and a new blog. I do hope you will all come with me, I love having so many of you follow along what I post here.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, what prompted the change?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, after I got {another} nasty shock of one day seeing my business name again replicated {just two words switched around to make it different enough to register} , I thought to myself 'how do I switch it up and make myself unique? I really love the Sweet! component of my name - the rest was really just a descrptor of what I offer... then it hit me, it's not about <strong>what</strong> I offer, it's about <strong>who I am</strong>. This business and what I create is really all about me (as are all small/micro businesses all about their owners)... and the new name came pretty much about about 5 - 10 minutes of throwing abround different combinations of words - what do you think?</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">So, that's the new name... this is the new website:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Please come along and check it out... the new blog link will go up over the weekend, and I'll post it here, so those of you that follow along now, can do so on the new blog as well {at least, I really hope you will!}</span><br />

I was very furtunate to be interviewed by Stephanie for a feature on LWH, and it was good enough to run over three installments, which I am pretty happy about!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I sound like a bit of a nit on part 1 (let me know what you think!!), but 2 and 3 is definteily more like the 'real me'!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Head on over to Little Wed Hen and check it out - you can follow along on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Wed-Hen/189872397704235">facebook</a> too!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am more than a little gob-smacked by the resulting photos! Stunning doesn't quite say enough - spectacular, perhaps? Hmm, still not quite there... I'll let you be the judge!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These images were shot by Vanessa at </span><a href="http://www.wildberry.com.au/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wildberry Studio</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> (you may remember Vanessa from my cookie bunting and centrepiece cookie photos), and the entire photoshoot (get ready for some serious eyecandy!) was picked up on Rock and Roll Bride, which you can see </span><a href="http://www.rocknrollbride.com/2011/03/a-marie-antoinette-inspiration/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...</span><br />

Immensely. It achieves nothing but death and leaves nations scarred and destroyed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, I support our troops and they jobs they do 110%. They put themselves in harms way in order to serve our Country, and, by association, us. So, to all our past and present Armed Forces Personnel, Thank You.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Grandfather was a digger. A Galipoli Digger, aka "an ANZAC". He was one of the few who came home. Home to a family shredded by the Great War, he had to rebuild his family and start over, meeting my Nanna at the boarding house he was housed in on his return to Melbourne. Would Pop's service have been made easier had he received care packages from home? Possibly. After all, these very diggers were the men behind the creation of the iconic Australian biscuit, the Anzac. Did he receive them? I'll never know... but what I do know is this - our modern-day Diggers are flung far and wide, serving their Country, and this Anzac Day, I will be doing my part to support them in a small way, and sending them my 'Thanks'.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is how you can send them your 'Thanks' too:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This Anzac Day, you can send our Armed Forces a care package, <strong>post paid</strong>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Simply use a box no larger than an <strong>Aus Post BM</strong> size, and keep the parcel to <strong>no more than 2 kg</strong> in weight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Lodge in person at any post office (for security reasons you need to <strong>lodge with photo ID</strong>)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">What to send:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Books</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Magazines</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">DVD's</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Chocolates</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Personal care items</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>A hand-written note of thanks</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Don't forget our 4-legged service personnel!</strong> Send some doggie treats, a chew toy, funky (large) collar etc.</span><br />

Cupcakes and Treats | Macarons! |<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have an amazing project coming up next week with some other amazng vendors (that's all I can share - it's a BIG secret!!), and one of the requirements is macarons. Now, I'm no fan of these little meringey-almondy-thingies at all, so in the past have not put much effort into knowing about them, let alone figuring out the best way of creating them! But, needed they are, so create them I must... and I'm pretty pleased with them so far.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(These aren't the macarons for the project!)</span><br />

Cupcakes and Treats | Dinner Party Dessert Table |<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently I had the pleasure of creating a dessert table for an anniversary dinner party.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's unusual to create a table for such a small event, but I do love a challenge! There isn't always a call for a full-scale table (especially if you only have 8 guests!), so it was great to take on the challenge and scale a small table to look gorgeous! I started with the basics - the 'table' was actually a large-ish butlers tray, on top of a cast iron Singer sewing machine table. To cut the darkness of the wood finish on the tray, I draped over a length of sequinned fabric on the diagonal, so there were tails draping to the floor, rather than a square edge.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then came the fund part - the dressing! Using my vintage glass pieces, I created the stage, balanced the height with some gorgeous hydrangeas (source: </span><a href="http://www.aschajolie.com.au/"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Bouquets of Ashca Jolie</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">), then set about filling the pieces with goodies.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Used for this table:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vintage Mallow Wafers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gingerbread Sugar Cookie Bows</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pink Vanilla Bean Meringue Clouds</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Raspberry Prairie Fudge</span><br />
<br />

Cupcakes and Treats | Oprah's Baby Shower |<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, Oprah's Baby SHoer has come and gone, screening last night on Channel 10 (Aus). We received an entire segment (about 3 minutes) on the Shower, which was wonderful. I'm not sure exeactly what I was expecting - and to be honest, up until the moment the show went to air, I didn't even know if I would be able to watch.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As some of you may know, I was very conflicted about "the 'O' effect", but in the end, decided that it was over and done, just roll with it and see where it leads. After all, I myself had ben telling people that I was involved!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, you can imagine my surprise when bang! up on the screen for a full screen close-up, were my signature floral cupcakes! I believe I did squeal, ever so slightly (OK, nor "ever so slightly", but when you are my age, that's as much as I will admit to!!!).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's still very surreal, and I don't know what, if anything, will come of it... and I am very happy with that. Things will be the same (just like my prices!) now as they were pre 'O-Day'. It's funny, the question I have been asked most is "I'll bet your prices will go up now, right?". Wrong! My product is my product, being featured on a TV show does not grant an automatic licence to rip people off (even though there are many that do just that).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, here are my pictures first, and then some photos taken by Sharnel Dollar, of <a href="http://www.sharneldollardesigns.com.au/store/pc/home.asp">Sharnel Dollar Designs</a>, who was the stylist of the entire "do".</span><br />

Cupcakes and Treats | 2011, the O way! |Hello everyone, and welcome to twenty-eleven (a whole lot easier to say than 'two thousand and eleven'!)<br />
<br />
So, I'm sure that you are all familiar with the fact that Oprah came Down Under in December, right? Well, she was in Melbourne on December 10, and while she was here, she hosted a Baby Shower.<br />
<br />
Now, this was no ordinary baby shower. It was a Baby Shower.<br />
<br />
And little old me got to be a part of it.<br />
<br />
I know. Get out of town, right? But I kid you not!<br />
<br />
I had the pleasure of supplying gourmet desserts for the shower! The whole 'Do' was styled by Sharnel Dollar, of Sharnel Dollar Designs, and I am very appreciative of being given this sort of opportunity, let me tell you just quietly!<br />
<br />
So, Channel 10 (who screens Oprah in Aus) has just announced today that these shows will be televised soon - as in next week soon! You can watch all the fun yourselves, starting January 19th! At this stage I don't know which day the Baby Shower will feature on, I would guess at the 19th or 20th, and right now I can't show you any pictures either... but you can be sure that once aired, I will pop up my photos, so everyone can feast on what I created.<br />
<br />
So, I think that's enough big news to digest for now... back soon!<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I hope you all have a very safe, very Merry Christmas, and a wonderful New Year.</span><br />

Cupcakes and Treats | Baptism Cake |<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every now and then, I strike a client that requires no guidance in terms of design. They have a clear idea of the concept that they need executed in cake. Sometimes, their design concepts are stunning in their simplicity, but very difficult to reverse-engineer into sugar. This baptism cake for Ava was no exception!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The invitation was wrapped in lustred and letterpressed linen paper with a water droplet and ripple-pond effect... all in white. This water droplet and ripple pond was to be the feature of the cake. Exquisitely different, especially for a Baptism.</span><br />

Cupcakes and Treats | Wedding Sneak Peek |This weekend in Melbourne the weather was just awful if you were getting married. Fabulous for trees, not so much for Brides. We had storms and rain and thunder and more rain, and HUMIDITY. Oh, and did I mention the rain?<br />
<br />
One of my brides this weekend was being photographed by Vanessa at <a href="http://www.wildberry.com.au/">Wildberry</a> (see below for more of Vanessa's amazing shots)... and here is a sneak peak of what she managed to capture in between all the rain!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyyL8DMauPEYpXfKahD8_Cq5xoQm3ieZn_PUSEaWKsV5PinwbI0wZk7ItKrguFbbigoR9DEUEtDUqLZaZFsEcJziw_eDSChMr7Xw6F05uO1HQre_5SjE7PdtDrihq22kA7Z7iI5q-CfkE/s1600/512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyyL8DMauPEYpXfKahD8_Cq5xoQm3ieZn_PUSEaWKsV5PinwbI0wZk7ItKrguFbbigoR9DEUEtDUqLZaZFsEcJziw_eDSChMr7Xw6F05uO1HQre_5SjE7PdtDrihq22kA7Z7iI5q-CfkE/s640/512.jpg" width="462" /></a></div>The bride had a selection of sweets for her wedding picnic - one of our new cookie garlands, featuring the couple's sayings of "love me - hug me - kiss me", some chocolate fudge cake pops, coconut ice, and vanilla bean sugar cookies.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the preview Vanessa, can't wait to see the rest of the wedding!Sweet!http://www.blogger.com/profile/10789370259647873439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3514690692456250798.post-54488118024757388862010-11-26T22:36:00.000-08:002010-11-26T22:37:27.394-08:00| Sweet! Cupcakes and Treats | New Products! |<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little while ago, I was contacted via facebook by a photographer who had been struck with inspiration about including some of my sweetness in one of her upcoming photoshoots, and would I be interested in colaborating?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Needless to say, I said yes!... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So, in thinking about what my desing brief was - white with touches of red - I wnted to come up with somthing that was a bit special, that would add that touch of "wow" and "I haven't seen anything like this before" - and I think I have succeeded! Drawing on the inspiration of the current craze for bunting, I set about creating cookie bunting! Yes, a world-first, so you all have the scoop on something completely new! - bunting made of cookies. Perfectly decorative, and edible!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As well as the bunting, I wanted something for the bubba to be able to hang onto (this was a baby shoot, after all), so created a centrepiece cookie, which would make a perfect dessert table centrepiece or photobooth prop - as you will see, munching away on one of my centrepiece cookies is quite a feat, and makes for quite the photo!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Also coming off the design table and into reality are Swag Cookies - individually strung cookie, perfect for hanging from the back of the bride and grooms chairs for a perfect "wow" moment - imagine these done as name tags, with each guest receiving their own personlised swag cookie favour!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">OK, so enough talk - here are the photos (more to come!):</span><br />

Cupcakes and Treats | The World is a Very Small Place |<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ever since the creation of the internet, and our total adaption to life revolving in and around it, I have never been so aware of just how small it has made the world we live in until now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Even as recently as 10 years ago, if we wanted to talk to someone around the world, we either wrote them a letter and posted it via snail mail, or we spent hours trying to figure out the time differences, and stayed up until an ungodly hour to make sure that they would be awake, in order for us to call them - and then pay the equivalent of a 2nd mortgage to the phone company for the priveledge.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now, we email at the drop of a pin - we don't even bother to get up off our office chairs to talk tot he personin the next cubicle 10 feet away, we email them instead. Why waste the spoken word when a typed one is so much easier? And we Skype too. We still need to be up at all hour of the night to do it, but at least it costs almost nothing!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So, where am I going with this ramble? What possible cake connection could there be to this, you ask? Well, I'm getting to it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">During this past week, there have been many instances cropping up on discussion threads I belong to about photo theft, specifically of cakes, cupcakes and cookies, made by friends of mine, and sometimes my work, that other people on the other side of the world are helping themselves to in order to promote their own businesses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Thanks to the power of the internet, we can "out" these cheating and stealing businesses as the cheating and stealing thugs that they are - and we can also alert so many people, all around the globe, about what each business is up to , with a single message. This simply would have been impossible 10 years ago. Yes, we had the internet, but the power of the "group" was still in its infancy. Forums and discussion boards were only just coming into being- and now look at what we have achieved.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Adding a protective shield to our work is a new blog, <a href="http://cake-thief.blogspot.com/">Stop the Cake Thief</a>, and it also has a <a href="http://ko-kr.connect.facebook.com/pages/Stop-the-Cake-Thief/134578109925615">page on facebook</a>. What I would like is for each of you reading this post is to stop by the blog, see what it's up to (it's very new, but there are already a couple of businesses named and shamed), spread the word, 'like' the facebook page if you would, and keep an eye out for cake sites that you come accross that don't look right. Report them, and help us keep our industry honest.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Thank you!</span><br />
<br />
