I’m so excited today to be sharing a special Christmas project I’ve been planning for several months!
This year I wanted to create an extra special dessert table for a home holiday party. Something to kick off the Christmas season in style! I took my inspiration from some vintage pink pottery I’ve been collecting and then added some color accents of light blue and aqua. As a former florist, I had to include some beautiful flowers, and then some sparkle in the form of both new and vintage ornaments helped complete the design.
Please enjoy my Vintage Pastel Christmas…
Included on the table were…

Vanilla Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
White Chocolate dipped Oreos (store bought) with custom royal icing transfers (by me)
Decorated Sugar Cookies
Handcrafted Marshmallows (by Fusion Sweets)
Assorted candies
I thoroughly enjoyed exercising my rusty floral design skills and made flower arrangements that included pink roses, pink and white mini carnations, light pink alstroemeria, and seeded eucalyptus. I also tucked in some pretty ornaments along with the flowers.

Thanks again for each of your sweet comments!
Beth- You're right, no local stores usually carry the Americolor brand. I buy mine on-line… there are dozens of cake decorating sites that sell them. Here is a site I've used before,

Words cannot begin to express how AMAZING this all is!!!! Stunning! Like a dream!!! GREAT JOB
Hi Glory! Guess what? I looked everywhere last night for that beautiful ice blue (Americolor brand) but all Michael's and
Wal-Mart carries are the Wilton's brand which I already have. Where may I ask did you find yours and do they come in tubes or drops or jels? Ice-blue is one of my favorite colors besides pink and lavender but it's hard to find. I might check out Cake Castle in town but would really love to know where you get yours? Thanks so much! Your work is flawless…truly a Lovely & breathtaking Christmas dessert table. You should be featured in Amy Atlas Events! 🙂
