Chanel Birthday Party

Black and white and super chic; I LOVE this Coco Chanel inspired dessert table we set up for our client Connie's 30th birthday party. Connie is in the fashion industry and is a huge Chanel fan so she decided to treat herself for the big 3-0 and throw herself a Chanel inspired bash.  We were thrilled to get the chance to flex our creative muscles working with the limited palette of black and white and just pearls, those classic double C insignias and Coco's signature camellia flower for inspiration.  Below are all the pretty details.  Enjoy!

The spread:  We lucked out that our client's party room just happened to have this fabulous black and white wall to use as a back drop.  Too perfect.  Hard to see in the photos, but our table is covered in a tailored cloth of black quilted fabric to mimic those famous Chanel handbags.

The birthday cake: We used royal icing transfers to embellish this three tiered beauty and capped it off with a Chanel No. 5 perfume bottle cookie topper.  I think this might be my favorite Oh, Sugar! cake to date.

UPDATE:  When I came by the next morning to pick up our serving pieces, the table looked like it hadn't been touched all night.  I was afraid there had been a problem when the hostess informed me, "It was just too pretty to eat.  No one had the heart to mess it up!"  Let's say she had left overs for days.
