Four powerful women returned to the screen in May to show they still had "it" in their designer flocks and heels. They looked the part as they walked into history with the Sex and the City 2 sequel. Women all across America joined in celebrating their return. Intelligent, powerful, positive and successful women went in groups to watch the movie, drinking martinis, dressing up and looking fabulous in their designer clothes, purses and shoes.
The kind of women who live their lives enjoying being individuals has their own style. When one of these women celebrates her birthday, it is not with a common cake from the local grocery store. She craves sparkle and wants something that no one else has seen before. This is not your common beginner cake or cookie decorating book. Look through the pages, and you'll say "WOW" more than once. Beautiful doll cakes in two sizes, small and large, give you options. Miniature hat cupcakes make you think of women's group functions and how they would quickly disappear as women walk in. Wardrobe-inspired cakes and decorated sugar cookies that are simple to create and elegant enough to feature them at special events tempt your taste buds and have you making lists of upcoming celebrations and desserts to take to them.
Imagine your senses aroused, along with the shocked look on your face, when you walk into a surprise birthday celebration. You smell chocolate. People are screaming SURPRISE and singing happy birthday. You want to know where the chocolate is, and in your stunned mode, you look around at people until you spot it and smile.
The dessert table is decked out with drapes of fabric in your favorite color, and completely covered with desserts. People try to distract you, hugging and talking to you, but your eyes don't move off that table. You spot a couple things from a distance that look interesting, and you wonder what they are. Smiling, as you pull away from your adoring fans, you see it, but don't believe it. Is that my shoe sitting on top of a shoebox?
Closer examination reveals that your dessert table is filled with edible treats that you love. Your favorite shoe is made of red chocolate, covered in gold pearlized sprinkles just like that hot pair of gold sparkled shoes you bought a couple weeks ago. So much like the original that it's sitting on top of an edible shoe box covered in fondant.
The heavenly scent of chocolate has grabbed you and won't let you go. You're amazed by the centerpiece, a doll cake wearing a dress that looks like your favorite designer gown. The buttercream "fabric" takes you back to the night you wore the gown and reminds you how much fun you had at the party. Your mouth waters.
Cookies in the shape of diamond rings are displayed on a beautiful silver tray near the front edge of the table. How did you miss them? There are 2 different color diamonds and they sparkle. Now that's bling! Are they chocolate too? You wonder. On trays between the cakes, shoe, purse and hat cookies are displayed. The red purse cake looks like you can pick it up. Miniature hat cupcakes are featured on a 3-level cake stand ready to be grabbed quickly. They're so cute. Chocolate covered strawberries are piled into bowls that are nice, and the table has been decorated with miniature chocolate liqueur bottles that won't last long. Before you can grab one, someone motions you to go sit at the head of the dinner table.
You're told that dinner is about to be served, so you smile knowing you'll be back at the dessert table soon. Who cares about real food, you say to yourself. That dessert table was amazing, and those treats spoke to your soul. Someone took the time to create what you loved in edible form to give you a one-of-a-kind celebration. You're so happy that it's not a dream as you silently greet the salad plate set in front of you with a minor glance, focusing your attention again on the dessert table, and counting down to your return.
Welcome to the wonderful world of edible treats that can be turned into dessert tables, fashionista style.
