We're On Holiday...




Just to let our customers know we will be closed for a holiday from April 12th to May 3rd and this means we won't be available to process any orders or answer any enquiries until our return on May 4th. Apologies for any inconvenience but we're off to the USA to source some new and gorgeous party ware for LilyBel Studio, so hopefully we will have some yummy new products to offer you later in the year!

Happy Easter!

Easter...what's not too love?? It's a time of celebration with beautiful flowers, chocolate, too cute bunnies and chicks, all types of eggs and (did I mention?) chocolate. I love the fact that you can celebrate with the traditional colour scheme of baby soft pastels, or add a little more 'pop' with hot pink and lime green worked into the mix.

Although food wise Easter is traditionally celebrated with eggs, it's great to add other baking delights all decked out in the Easter theme. Take your ordinary cupcake and transform it into a bunny, chick, or create a baby bird nest on the top.

Cake pops have also become huge and when it comes to Easter themed cake pops, you're only limited by your imagination as the very talented Bakerella proves below...

Of course we shouldn't forget the traditional Easter egg hunt and both painted and chocolate eggs are perfect for this...little one's love nothing more than running around the garden with a basket, hunting for that treasure!
So, however you choose to celebrate Easter this year don't forget to eat large and ridiculous quantities of chocolate....
