Jungle Inspired Baby Shower (as featured in Amy Atlas)

Here is another chance to see the jungle inspired baby shower that was featured on Amy Atlas!

We had so much fun creating this set-up with Christy from Simply Layered Cake Designs. She’s a wiz in the kitchen and we were lucky to nibble on her brownie bites, coconut crunch pops, mango and peach pie pops shaped like leaves and banana shaped sugar cookies. Wonderfully tasty!

For a modern and masculine feel, we chose an orange and turquoise color scheme that focused on the giraffe as the centerpiece. This bar was great because the grandmother-to-be made mini tacos, chicken salad sandwiches, mini carnita wraps and avocado & salsa bruschetta. She even whipped up blueberry infused lemonade!
We loved being featured on the Amy Atlas blog. Amy is a HUGE inspiration to us!

Winter Wonderland Dessert Bar at Caught In The Moment

Kim created this beautiful dessert bar at the Caught in the Moment Photography studio. Isn’t this just the most wonderful Winter Wonderland set up ever? We loved how well Kim’s creative eye matched the beautiful back drop to the colors in the dessert bar.
Caught in the Moment Photography has worked with Two’s A Party in the past, and Kim was so happy to create this masterpiece for them.
The talented Christy from Simply Layered Cake Design created the desserts: star-shaped sugar cookies drizzled with blue icing, iced chocolate brownie bites, and raspberry filled butter cake cupcakes with lemon buttercream. Kim added silver chocolate sixlets, vanilla taffy, espresso codials, blue raspberry jellied rings and chocolate kisses to enhance the decor.

Here’s a fabulous candy buffet Kim from Two’s A Party styled for a ravishing Roaring 20’s party at The Reef in Long Beach. The antique feel was brought to life with and array of ivory and dust rose feathers as well as strings of classy pearls.
Ever had a grapefruit jelly candy?! Well let me tell you, it’s a party of citrus delight in your mouth. Kim used those joyous jellies along with strawberry puffs, watermelon pina colada sours, pink and white pearl sixlets, vanilla taffy, and chocolate kisses to complete this candy buffet.
We loved the fun ostrich feathers and boas that made this buffet a ROARING one. Kim had such a wonderful time at The Reef Hotel, and we can’t wait to go back!

Our LARGEST Dessert and Candy Buffet EVER!

It’s true, BIG is always BETTER! …or it’s at least true when we’re talking about desserts and candy. Kim styled this chic holiday buffet for a very prominate law firm in Long Beach. One of Two’s A Party’s good friend Deborah from Romance Etc. does all the decor for their shin-digs, and this year, they let us join the fun with this one of a kind displays. Listen to this- the party had about 1,000 guests!
Kim went with a vintage theme that included black and white damask with a red accent to create a classic yet sexy ambiaunce. The desserts includede delightful cake pops and cake bites by Courtney’s Cakepops. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! Along with that, we had some goodies from Great Dane Baking Company that included eclairs, chocolate covered strawberries and holiday cookies. And lets not forget about the candy! No holiday party would be complete without a candy cane or two…. thousand. Not to mention many other red, white and black goodies to complete the look.
Our favorite part is the bling! Glamourous, but yet not overstated.

Old Hollywood Themed Dessert Bar For WIPA

I’m sure you all were wondering what our creative Kim was up to this past month. Wonder no more.

Two’s a Party‘s Kim went all out for the Wedding Industry Professional Association’s (WIPA) November Meeting where she showcased her stunning styling abilities with this Old Hollywood themed dessert buffet. Don’t you just love how the RED stands out? She found a perfect balance of elegant sexiness- right?

It was so fitting for the Crevier Classic Car Museum location. The perfect compliment to those sexy cars.
Kim teamed up with Christy, the amazing pastry chef from Simply Layered Cake Designs, who made those luscious black walnut cherry bites and raspberry and chocolate ganache tarts tarts- each topped with a red fruit. Christy also graced us with wonderful red-velvet and vanilla bean french macaroons, and coconut crunch pops.

Spunky Sweets Tropical Candy Buffet

Two’s A Party teamed up with Simply Layered Cake Designs to create this photoshoot as a way to showcase the creativity Kim has in her Candy Buffet styling. We called this one our Spunky Sweets. It had a tropical theme in the dessert flavors and the inspiration came from the backdrop fabric that we fell in love with!

Are those colors not the best? We loved the bright contrasts of the yellows, oranges and blues against the simplicity of the black and white accents. Yes, Kim built the tray- she’s so crafty! And Christy created some AMAZING desserts, as she always does. From Coconut Crunches to Blood Orange Tarts to Mango French Macaroons to Tropical Mini Cupcakes and cake pops. Oh, and the Lemon Meringue Parfaits! Wait, who gets to eat the desserts when we do a photoshoot?!?! Bring them back!

Wedding on the mind?

Remember earlier this month we posted the rustic beach wedding candy buffet? Well did we mention it was from Two’s A Party’s and Romance Etc.’s  Bridal Fair at La Palapa Restaurant? We had about THIRTY different venders at the event, so we gathered some of our favorite pictures so you can all enjoy the fair one more time.

Kim did an amazing job pulling this event together. There was a runway show of gorgeous wedding and bridesmaids dresses, table set-ups styled by Two’s A Party and Romance Etc.,and of course a mock wedding ceremony on the beach!

I’m sure you all remember this spectacular Candy Buffet by Two’s A Party, and look at the extreme attention to detail: Kim places the mini tarts on these opaque crystals that look like they came fresh out of the sea.

It wouldn’t be an event without floral arrangements from Romance Etc. We always love how they use succulents in their arrangements. We love all the green! Are those diamonds in the roses? Talk about romance!


I wish we had more pictures of this booth, because Christy from Simply Layered Cake Designs created two beautiful white wedding cakes that took our breath away. If only you could taste with your eyes. YUM!

And last, but not least, here are a couple table displays that Kim from Two’s A Party and Deborah from Romance Etc. styled for the event. They really do know how to style a wedding… or any other event for that matter.

Cirque Du Candy

That’s right, step right up to see the one of a kind, delectable, captivating, imaginative Circus of Candy!

Let me tell you, this spectacular creation would make any trapeze artist do a flip or two. Kim created this booth for The Pike Event Gala to promote event facilities for The Pike of Long Beach back in September. The depth of the color pallet created a vintage feel that sets this buffet apart from any other. The sophistication of the long feathers and dark wood furnishings pull the look all together and reveals a 1920’s inspiration from her design.

From black magic balls to butterscotch, there’s something for everyone. Kim even threw in some sugar-free vanilla caramels! You can’t help but feel like you’ve stepped straight into an original Ringling Bros. Circus when you set your eyes on the old-fashioned licorice sticks, black and white whirly pops and salted popcorn. Maybe you’re in the mood for something sour?–Pucker your lips with some sour cherry balls or sour cherry sassy taffy.

Kim had such a blast putting together this Two’s a Party booth, and it shows! The tulle ribbon, festive fabrics, black and red buttons, and one of a kind candy dishes is what brings this buffet to the next level of creativity.
