Get ready to drool...if you follow this blog or have ordered my book ( Mindy here ), then you already know that i have an obsession with macarons. Well...I also have an obsession with meringues. One day I want to have the tag line: Mindy - The master of macarons, meringues, and marshmallows. It has a nice ring to it :)
Hi, it's Jen from Banner Events here. I love Mother's Day! Not only is it a wonderful day to celebrate with my children, but a beautiful day to celebrate my own sweet mother.
You've probably guessed it's all about Mother's Day this week on the blog...And today, our contributor Gillian is sharing a super sweet, pretty but also easy to style Mother's Day desserts table ! Check out her lovely ideas and details below...The bird cage is my fave! ;)

These savory Olive, Feta and Pesto muffins are delicious, so easy and quick to make, and kids will love getting involved - Dads, are you reading? Honestly, you can make the batter in 10 minutes! Plus, it's also low in fat - perfect for moms watching their figure! ;)
DIY Crepe Paper Flowers Bouquet
Remember the giant paper roses I made for this shoot ? Well, these area smaller version of the roses but using crepe paper instead and making them into a beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day (weddings too or any other occasion you fancy!) They are so pretty, long-lasting, and easy to make, and are the perfect gift or craft for kids to get involved in (with a little supervision of course, as there are wire cutters involved!). My daughter LOVED crafting with me on the weekend; and as a proud mom (not ashamed to say) I just couldn't help myself and took some extra shots of my precious, pretty in pink baby ♥
This is a really cool recipe that I (Crissy) got while living in Brazil. Made a few adjustments to work with the American ingredients. Very easy to make and it came out very yummy! I used the cute FREE Mother's Day Printables available to all of from Bird's Party FACEBOOK Fans!
This stunning and so sweet Mother Hen Party was styled by my dear friend Lynlee from Lynlee's Petite Cakes for Bird's Party Magazine Spring/Summer 2012 . Lynlee is so mega talented and I loved collaborating with her on this special shoot! her ideas are so inspiring and I LOVE how she used the buffet cards backed by burlap! GENIUS! :) As always, not I'm bringing you some extra (exclusive) photos from the shoot, in hope that you may find some inspiration for your own Mother's Day bash!
I definitely get my sense of adventure from my mom. We love to travel and explore new places together. One of our most memorable trips was to England. We now both share a love of all things British. For Mother's Day, I have planned a brunch fit for my own Queen Mum inspired by Bird's Party Rule Britannia Jubilee Collection . I thought that I would share my brunch menu and scone recipe with you today.
We are beyond delighted with the responses we have received from our sponsored by Mother's Day Giveaway Pfaltzgraff! So many beautiful, touching and amazing lessons we have all learned from mom, and this is something worth celebrating!
