I baked the cake and decorated cookies for a 30th birthday party.

It was so exciting because I got to work with my favorite colors: black, white and gold. What an elegant soirée; the guests arrived at the cocktail party dressed up in the semi-monochromatic color scheme. The theme was shown through various elements – gold Chiavari chairs, sparkly sugar rimmed champagne flutes, textured gold frosted decanters full of wine on tray tables, sequin tablecloth, a mid-century modern bar set-up, Kate Spade gold foil confetti coasters, old gold party ware, dainty looking hors d’oeuvres and pretty mini desserts just to name a few.
