Ahola!

I know, I know it's January.  What do you mean Ahola!?  Quite frankly I'm sick of the snow and cold so I'm thinking warm and tropical!  Hawaiian Luau's are my favorite type of party.  It's fun and colorful and you don't always have to stick the "traditional" luau food to pull the theme together.

Case in point, these pineapple mango cupcakes.  Can you say delicious???  I might not have mentioned it before but I am a huge fan of Bakerella.  I mean HUGE!  Talented and creative beyond words, she churns out cute ideas like some women change their hairdo.

Terrific Thursday!

The very first Terrific Thursday product is.....Bedazzle My Bonbons!  The first thing that caught my attention about this fabulous product was the company's tag line: Bedazzle My Bonbons...Chocolates for the FABULOUS that are both Dessert AND Decor!  Don't you just love getting a two for one? The bonbons come in 24 awesome colors that are guaranteed to compliment any decor theme you can think of for a party.  

Here are some of the ideas that are shown on their website, all of which work for a smaller scale party and celebration:

All Things Purple!

Purple, in any shade, is my favorite color. Left to my own devices, my entire house would be decorated in shades of purple or with purple accents. At a party or a wedding, purple adds drama to a room and makes the guest of honor feel like royalty.

Tasty Treats

A great party depends on the location, the music and most importantly the food! Once you have chosen a menu that will be talked about adoringly for years after your party is over, there is still one thing left to give your guests…a sweet treat. Beyond the wedding or birthday cake, the tasty treats below are a perfect finish to a fabulous party.
