Amy Atlas Book Review and Giveaway

 
 
Amy Atlas, famous for her parties and dessert tables, has come out with a  fabulous book called, Sweet Designs.
 
 
I was so excited to get a copy of the book to review!  The book is full of eye candy. Page after page has mouth watering desserts, and great styling tips for parties.
 
Why I LOVE Sweet Designs…
 
The book is full of beautiful pictures.
She gives you all the information you need to know in order to throw your own parties.
Amy tells you where t0 buy the products that may not be common in your area!!!!
I love her tips on how to display your food to make it look better.
She has great party themes, my favorite being the game night party!
Pure creativity!!!
 
Recipe Test
 
Sometimes I get a beautiful cookbook, open it and find that they use too many strange ingredients and terms that I don’t understand. This is not the case with Amy’s book, Sweet Designs.
 
 
I made the Pink Éclairs in the book.  I decided that if she could help me pull off a pastry, then I could do anything in the book! They turned out great! Amy gives great step by step instructions. They were clear and easy to understand.  I am super proud that I made them and that they tasted so good, too!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Amy is giving away a copy of Sweet Designs to one of you!!

Washi Tape Treat Stick Tutorial

It’s really easy.

 

cake pop washi tape

Step 1- Place the stick in the middle of the tape and cut the tape the length of stick. 

Note: I used Pick Your Plum Washi Tape because it adhered to the sticks the best.

Step 2- Press down one side of the tape to the stick, making it smooth and flat!
