My obsession with these cookie cakes started this summer when I made my very first cookie cake in the shape of a pineapple . Since then, I've been dreaming up other fun shapes to create, hence today's Jack-O'-Lantern inspired Halloween cookie cake! This cookie cake is SO easy to make and combines the best of both cookie and cake worlds - buttery shortbread cookies, sandwiched together with chocolate cream cheese frosting, topped with ridiculous amounts of candy. Well, it is Halloween after all! 🎃🍬👻
Next week I'll be sharing the dinosaur cake recipe I created for a brand partnership I recently worked on. So for today, I'm sharing the full party with all the fun desserts, simple decorations and DIY details that are super easy to pull off for a dinosaur birthday party at home !

Mother's day is coming up, and if you need a simple and delicious dessert to impress and celebrate mom, then this white chocolate and strawberry tart recipe is it! With a few handy pantry staples and a punnet of fresh strawberries you can whip up this tart in no time at all, without the need to turn on your oven, which is always a bonus in my book! 👍 I also made a delicious fresh strawberry sauce to serve with this tart for extra indulgence, but if you don't like things too sweet, then simply serve with extra fresh sliced strawberries for a tangy contrast!
Summer is nearly upon us, and this no-bake key lime pie is the answer to all your dessert needs! This key lime pie recipe is SO easy and quick to make, requires NO baking and only requires 5 ingredients! I've made this key lime pie also as parfaits or individual cups, which works just as well and is super practical , not to mention dainty, to serve at any family gathering or any event you may be hosting this season!
Have you seen these amazing, trendy cream tarts in shapes of numbers and letters, taking over Instagram and Pinterest ? Well, I personally like to call them "cookie cakes" instead because, well, they look like layered cake to me! They're basically two giant sugar cookies sandwiched together with some sort of frosting in the middle, and decorated on top with tons (and I mean tons) of candy, fruit, macarons, chocolate, edible flowers...you're only limited to your imagination when it comes to the decor of these cookie cakes!
4th of July is 'round the corner and if you need an easy, tasty and quick to make NO-BAKE recipe , then this is IT!

For the 4th of July celebrations, we had to go with red, white and blue berries for the patriotic touch, of course!
This party theme without a doubt, is one of my faves so far!

She also collaborated with some extremely dedicated and talented vendors and professionals to create a stunning styled photo shoot for Bird's Party Magazine - Check out all the details as told by Jennifer...

She used some of our Spider Hero party printables combined other the licensed images to create a true marvel ! - d'ya see what I did there? hehe Below are all the stunning details as told by Smita...

Fall temps call for comfort food, am I right? Hence this decadent Oreo cake! This chocolate Oreo layer cake is my daughter's all-time favorite cake and she requests it for every birthday, which I'm more than glad to oblige since it's oh-so delicious and super fun to make! If you like chocolate and Oreos (like us), than you really can't go wrong with this chocolate layer cake with Oreo buttercream and a chocolate ganache drip to finish things off! YUM!
I styled this mini desserts table for the July/August edition of the French national magazine, Créative . And when choosing a theme, strawberries just seemed the perfect match for a seasonal and super sweet table! Needless to say, I LOVED styling it - not only did I get to design and shoot a brand new printable party theme in another language, but I also got to play with fondant. A lot! And fondant is kinda like modelling clay for grown ups ;) Another fun aspect is that I had baked all the desserts myself (yes, that is fun for me..), from the cookies to the marshmallow pops, the strawberry cookies, cake and cupcakes !! (scroll down to see the recipe links).
