Inspiration Boards: Red and White Christmas or Valentine’s Party

I actually meant to post this pre-Christmas but of course during the holiday craze, totally forgot about it.  Shall I blame this on pregnancy brain or the endless chaos that surrounds the holidays?  I don’t know but in either case, this red and white themed inspiration board could also apply for Valentine’s. So here you go!

Valentine’s is less than a month away!  Now’s the time to start thinking about how you want to celebrate!  It’s crazy to think that my hubby and I will be celebrating a new love (the daughter growing in my belly right now) this Valentine’s day and be looking forward to meeting her within the month.  My goal is to have all of Juliet’s (yes it’s a girl!!) basic necessities bought and prepared for by V-day.  This will surely be a special and memorable last Valentine’s day as a newlywed couple -the last one we’ll share with just the two of us.

Thank you to Chic Sugars bakery for partnering with us on this cake idea! I asked for a unique take on the candy spill cake by changing out the filling to include the traditional candy hearts that we all love and know so well. I also wanted the look and feel to be pretty and elegant even though it was for a kiddie party. And I’m thrilled with how this NJ based bakery created this!!  What do you think of it??

I love the pretty ombré pink exterior. Isn’t it lovely?? And the details on the top of the cake made my mouth drop. Just look at those fondant candy hearts with mini messages! And look at how delicate and intricate each of these gorgeous flowers are! It was almost too pretty to eat!

It went SO perfectly with my heart shaped plates which I used both as cake plates and as backdrop decor! Click here to purchase the plates. tip If you’re careful with cleaning them, they are strong enough to be re-used.

The inside of the cake was JUST as delectable. Moist and not too sweet, it was a hit with everyone.
