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.

What does your quarantine style typically look like? Are you forever in pajamas? Living in loungewear? Or are you like me and dressing up for the fun of it a few times a week?  Whatever your new norm is, I’m challenging you to elevate your quarantine style.  Stay home. In Style.

Try the House Dress!

What’s a house dress you ask? House dresses go back to pre and post-war years where housewives purchased simple patterned, machine washable dresses.  Like moo moo dresses, they are loose, comfortable and effortless.  Allowing for ease of movement they’re super functional while still looking ladylike.  And these days, there seems to be a resurgence in this classic cut.  Mine shown here was a thrifted vintage piece that I’m selling on Poshmark (follow me @stylishlystella).
