Modern Trousseau: NYC Bridal Market

As I sit here this morning it's a different morning. Not like any of the others partly due to the fact that it's my First Mother's Day! I can't help but feel special to have my family and nothing would make me more happy, but to share with you this amazing dessert display we confected for Modern Trousseau. Bridal Market 2011 New York City. When Designer Callie Tein approached us to make cupcake pops and a dessert display to be showcased in their newly, beautifully styled studio I said of course! But with only one week away I knew we needed to get cracking. First things first you can make confections all day long, but it won't look half as good without dessert signage. For this project we partnered up with the Lovely Nichole Michel from Coral Pheasant Stationery + Design. I love Nichole and her work. The best part is when we collaborate we tell each other our ideas then there's a long pause (like I think she may be thinking I'm a little nuts with my deadlines) but then somehow she pulls it all together Flawlessly! Thanks Nichole for all your beautiful work it wouldn't had been the same without you!

We drew our inspiration from Modern Trousseau down to their colors, fabric, and logo. I wanted to create something that would represent them. Luxury and Glamour. We confected vanilla cupcakes with blue and white almond buttercream frosting and alternated ruffled blue and white baking cups, white fluffy marshmallows, white chocolate truffle pops dipped in coconut with a pearl border around the sticks, macaroons, and blue and white candies inside the apothecary jars. All of our confections were displayed on  1900's  vintage Westmoreland milk glass platters and our cupcake pops were showcased on our antique Fenton cake platters! Which are all available for rent. Please inquire for pricing.

Coral Pheasant created these beautiful cupcake flags in three different logos and a triangular banner to sit on top of the cupcakes that spelled out MODERN TROUSSEAU.

Then came the cupcake pops! We created vanilla dipped in blue and white chocolate. I put a pearl border around each stick, and wrapped them in tulle with white satin ribbon and custom made MT lables. In doing so I was able to incorporate the texture and feel of Callie's custom design wedding gowns.

We were excited to be featured on completely unveiled by Weddings Unveiled for this dessert display. Come check us out for more pictures. A special thanks for everyone who made this possible. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day especially you Mom I Love You!

Destination Inspiration... Inspired Parisian Dessert Display

We are so excited to share the details of our Couture Dessert Display inspired after destination Paris. The city of LOVE. I could not think of a better way to pay homage to the fabulous Paris Patisseries. This display is a true reflection of our company and why we Love what we do, and most importantly what we eat!

The inspiration behind this patisserie dessert display was inspired after Laduree. We decided to create a dessert display, and a mini tea bar. We found these great vintage silver serving carafes and pulled in the color green in the tea cups. To give it the Parisian feel we had Sucre labels made by Lovely Nichole from Coral Pheasant Stationery and attached them to rock candy stirrers. Nichole is extremely talented and created all of our dessert signage for our display! Thank you for your amazing work!

The wedding cake was inspired after the ballerina from the inspiration board. Our vision for this cake was to incorporate the elements of the fabric, colors ,and the feathers. After creative collaboration we incorporated the lace, headpiece made from feathers and tied it in with a gold brooch to resemble the gold ballerina shoes. You had me at cake!

A Paris dessert display wouldn't be complete without French desserts. We decided to make Profiteroles filled with Chantilly Cream, assembled Croquembouche style. As the french would say Choux a la creme. Big thanks to Datura: A Modern Garden for adding the finishing touches of fresh flowers and raspberries. Amazing job!

Included in our dessert table were French Macaroons, Coconut Truffles, Brownie Balls, Clafouti Aux Cerises, and the newest addition to our cupcake menu Parisian Puffs. A Parisian Puff is a nutmeg cupcake with tops dipped  in butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar! Yes, we did it but don't thank us. Thank the French. Bon Appetit!

We wanted to give guests the opportunity to view our display with favor boxes. It's important to know that there is so much variety to be had with a display, and they can be versatile to each client's unique needs. To be used for favors or not the options are endless. We were also excited to show off our exquisite line of Fenton, L.E Glass hobnail, and milkglass cake stands. These stands are absolutely timeless and sure to make any event memorable.

Oh, and the sweets didn't end there. Off we were to set up shop inside the luxurious Chic By The Shore.

It was here that guests had the chance to try our signature confections! We had an assortment of Red Velvet Cake Pops, Lemon Squares, and our Cinfully Carrot Cake topped with Cream Cheese frosting. The confections were displayed on our pink glass hobnail line topped with beautiful glass domes. For more info on our dessert displays, check us out at Lovely Lollies, where we LOVE to Design, Style, Confect, and Capture life's sweet events!

Last but not least here are some images of a Paris Tablescape. This one was created by the talented forces from Jubilee Events. Love the way they incorporated our French Macaroons as place cards. Pure genius!

Love, LL
