'Tis the Season

The holidays are right around the corner and EyeCandy is excited for the celebrations to come!  We had the opportunity to share one of our dessert tables at the annual Christmas celebration for the Community of Charlottesville Wedding and Event Professionals in the beautiful Jefferson Theater last year.  Such a great group of people and some amazing treats.  Here's a look:

An aubergine and silver backdrop highlights the food items.  Gorgeous labels written by Jen Maton of If So Inklined Calligraphy and Illustration .

Delicious eggnog cupcakes with brandy buttercream frosting.

 

A bit of savory with fig tarts.

Who doesn't love a whoopie pie?

Pearlized chocolate bites

Beautiful cake

Cocoa pops.  Stirred in hot milk, these make a rich hot chocolate and a fun, interactive treat.

Brownie bites, meringue sandwiches, whoopie pies, chocolate covered almonds - something for everyone!

Let EyeCandy surprise them with a beautifully styled dessert buffet!

All American Girl Birthday Party

Such an adorable birthday with so many fun activities, this birthday party for little girls and their dolls features a dessert table with treats for both!

With a red, white and blue color scheme, this table is full of delights!  White chocolate bark with red and blue M&M's, blue raspberry parfaits, personalized cookies, candy apples, red velvet whoopie pies, all in miniature too!  Check out the mini 3-tiered cake!

More beautiful calligraphy on fun red drinks with butterfly straws!

Candy apples for the guests and ones for the dolls made out of clay.

 Beverage Station with butterfly goody bags to contain the doll's treats.  Mini cups to quench the dolls' thirsts too!

Pre-party place settings.  Doll seats were constructed with clips and ribbon to allow the girls to sit with their dolls.

Doll-sized treats are big fun!

What a fun time with fabulous girls!

Thank you for letting EyeCandy be a part of
you Charlottesville, VA event!

Welcome Owlette!

Today's post features a baby shower to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl.  The woodsy owl theme came straight from the invitations with instructions that the parents-to-be weren't keen on overly girly.

 We think this fit the bill perfectly!

Beautiful vanilla cupcakes, delicious chocolate pot de creme and yummy fruit tarts

Rustic Caramel Apples

These little guys were a big hit!

Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites 

Lots of Owlettes!

 More yummy treats -- Lemon Bars

 Chocolate covered Oreos with shots of milk

A special thanks to Cerise Keys for sharing her beautiful photos.

Thanks for letting EyeCandy be a part of your celebration. 

Best wishes for the whole family!!

Spirited Table

EyeCandy was so happy to be able to thank the amazing members of the Community of Charlottesville Wedding and Event Professionals with this dessert buffet at their summer event held at the gorgeous Pippin Hill Farm and Vineyard.  A special thank you to  Elisa B. Photography and Bryan Smith for sharing photos.

Our Spirited Table featured dessert inspired by cocktails to fit the vineyard location.

 We let the desserts speak for themselves, displaying them in simple clear glass and mirror with added lighting for drama when the sun went down.
