With the Jubilee weekend coming up on the 2, 3, 4 and 5th June, the UK will be coming together in celebration of the Diamond Anniversary of the Queen's Coronation 60 years ago! So I came up with a little twist on a traditional shortbread recipe for the Rule Britannia Party Shoot , that will easily dress up any home-made (or store bought) shortbread cookies!

We do really have the most sweet and talented customers!! Just take a look at this beautiful Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party sent to us by Maja from the blog Cantinho da Maja , all the way from Brazil!  I love it how it's a character party without being too over the top with mass-produced party supplies!

It's always very exciting, gratifying but also very humbling to have your work featured on amazing party sites and blogs! For me personally, it's the icing on the cupcake after all the hard work, and countless hours I spend designing, baking, photographing and styling a party.  Don't get me wrong, I do what I do because I love it with all my heart (even when it does not get "featured" anywhere). But these special mentions by our fellow party lovers,  is really pretty cool! :)

  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...

I made this cake for my Rule Britania Party shoot for Bird's Party Magazine - It's is my own twist on the classic Victoria Sponge cake.  Since we're celebrating Queen Elizabeth's reign this summer, I thought I'd inject a little British summer taste into my recipe, and called it a Jubilee Cake !

"...and couldn't give a monkey's about" should have been the next sentence? :) I've been tagged by The Purple Pug to write this post, and the chain was created by Laura from Live Smile Celebrate.

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 .

(Let's just say I did a little nerdy dance...).
