Tasty Tuesday - My Dessert Table & Cherry Ripe Cupcakes

As promised last week I will finally show you the dessert table that I created for my mum for her 50th birthday just over a week and a bit ago. Planning for this table was difficult because I was in the throes of pretty severe morning sickness and quite honestly I didn't have the mental capacity to try and think of how to put things together. The thought of any type of food sweet or savoury turned my stomach and my mum was pretty worried I wasn't going to be able to pull it off.... and I was a little worried for awhile there as well.

Tasty Tuesday - Guest Post: Teddy's Bear Picnic

I want to introduce a old school friend of mine who I got back in touch with through facebook and her blog www.pregnancybabychild.com. Her name is Melissa and she kindly offered to write about her son's 1st Birthday dessert table that she did and boy oh boy are you in for a treat! It's truly amazing!

Family and friends (and readers I’m sure) are elated to hear the wonderful news of a whimsical baby in the making. However the unfortunate side effects of pregnancy are interrupting the blogging from our favourite housewife! She’s asked me to guest blog and after reading one of her recent posts about her upcoming dessert table, I thought what a perfect topic to discuss.

A few months ago I had the opportunity to put together my very first dessert table for my son’s first birthday party. Like Melissa, I have an interior design & art background so this was right up my alley!!

The party was a Teddy Bear’s Picnic theme, which meant rather than a colour orientated dessert table, I focused on bear related food and decorations. I still had a colour theme which comprised of red, teal blue, brown and white. Blue and red gingham fabric also played a massive role in everything I created for the party.

  

 

Tasty Tuesday... Guest Post - Bliss Ranch

Pop, Melt, Dump, Mix

Hello Whimsical Wife followers, I'm Bliss from Bliss Ranch.  I want to thank Melissa of the (Pregnant) Whimsical Wife for giving me the opportunity to guest post on "Tasty Tuesday" while she bakes a little bun (sorry, couldn't resist the bun... I mean pun !).  What.... an imposter-poster?  Yup, I'm not she, although I impersonate a pregnant lady pretty darn good.  I've perfected that after six of my own buns and yeah, I can do it blindfolded.  So while Ms. Whimsy is lounging on the couch; pressing soda crackers to her lips; looking forward to the middle months of pregnancy when she will feel good enough to eat all of the candy house from Hansel & Gretel; today you are stuck with me.

Ideas For Valentine's Day..........

I only just realised earlier this week that Valentine's Day is coming up next week. I haven't thought one ounce on what I should do for hubby that would be romantic. I am sorry to say but I don't have one romonatic bone in my body at the moment! I'm not sure if we will be going out for dinner - thanks to morning/night sickness. Dinner time is one of the worst times at the moment and it's hard to say if I will be having a good or a bad day to even consider going out or not. I guess we will be making a decision on the day.

A new beginning.....

Well again I was slack and didn't get a Tasty Tuesday post up yesterday. Naughty me. However I do have a perfectly good excuse for not doing it. It's something called Morning sickness. Well in my case it seems to be Morning, Noon and Night sickness. Let's just say the thought of cooking, eating or talking about food turns my stomach. Meat, vegetables and tomato are off the menu and toast, crackers and fruit are on the menu. So it may be some time before I can bring myself to cook, photograph and write a post about food. I may need to get some guest writers in.... anyone want to volunteer?

Under the weather.....

Hi Whimsical Wife followers.... I am sorry I let you down yesterday with no Tasty Tuesday post. I had been struggling with a really bad Migraine type headache for the past two days and I am sorry that I couldn't bring myself to talk about food. My head hurt too much. So I am going to have a sickie this week and we will be back on board next week......
