As I mentioned in my last post, my sister and I have started our own business,
Le Plaisir- dessert tables and sweets. We have both been so blessed to be able to be stay-at-home moms and we decided that starting a dessert table business would be the best way to utilize both our talents and bring in some extra income while still staying home with our babies.
Our first table was a success! We chose a simple and clean color scheme (turquoise and purple) that featured exquisite desserts with less emphasis on the decor.
The menu consisted of Swan Profiteroles, which are Pâte à choux swans, filled with crème pâtissière and fresh whipped cream
Large pretzel rods dipped in white chocolate and colored sugar
Monogrammed sugar cookies
White chocolate Parisian macarons (I'm proud to say that my super talented sister learned how to perfect these in a special culinary class in PARIS!!)
Handmade vanilla marshmallows with turquoise swirls (which were amazing!)
And we also had a chocolate layer cake with buttercream frosting.
We made "to go" dessert boxes with my snazzy Silhouette machine and that accordian pinwheel backdrop out of cardstock and placed it against a bead board panel.
I'm so excited about next week's table. We are calling it "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and I get to go cuh-raaazy with the decorations! I also have a tutorial coming up for you guys that has to do with the table.
By the way, True Blood was awesome tonight!! What's going to happen to Jessica!? That was a rhetorical question, if you know don't tell me!! I want to be surprised :) Have a great week everyone!
