It's my birthday! It's my birthday! and I do love birthdays. I however don't usually celebrate my birthday because it means I'm getting older! hehe but this year I thought I'd break with tradition and celebrate ... why not! Life is to short not to right?
I decided to host a lovely lunch with some of my lovely girlfriends. We had a wonderful day at my studio enjoying each others company ... lots of girly chat and a huge amount of laughing. A great way to spend a sunny afternoon.
I used my hutch dresser as my dessert table | Soft shades of green, peach & pink
Gorgeous white chrysanthemum in vintage jars as the centerpiece
Please take a seat
A simple pastel green lace fondant cupcake topped with a peach handmade rose for each of my lovely friends.
All my favorite things | vintage jars | gorgeous frames | pretty teacups | beautiful flowers
My birthday cake
A coconut cake filled with homemade raspberry coulis and white chocolate ganache
This was such a decadent sweet.
Homemade caramel slice = Devine!
White chocolate & raspberry macarons
Simple & Sweet
My friends describe this as heaven on a plate and I would have to agree with them!
A coconut base with a tarty but sweet passionfruit filling topped with a coconut meringue.
A homemade Passionfuit & Coconut slice
A sweet chocolate ganache tartlet topped with raspberry coulis & boysenberry
A lovely little set up for our refreshments
With all these lovely sweet treats something refreshing was in need!
A chilled jar of pink lemonade was just the right touch
I also made a few savoury treats for my friends. First course was a Chicken & leek mini pie, these were so moreish the girls had to have a second helping.
Second course was a Bacon & vege slice which sat on a bed of baby spinach and topped with avocado & some sweet chilli sauce.
After all that delicious feed, the girls were officially stuff {hehe} We all had such a wonderful day and I have to say it was nice to celebrate my birthday. Maybe I'll do it all again next year?
Happy Baking!
