Cheesecake Pops
What is it about desserts on sticks that makes them so ridiculously cute?! First the adorable cupcake bites from Bakerella, and now these fabulous cheesecake pops from Mimi on the Move !
They even look cute undecorated… (and maybe dusted with some graham cracker crumbs!)
Pink Suede Keepsake Box… with Chocolate!
This pink suede jewelry/keepsake box from Godiva is a fun twist on your typical box of chocolates! I received one of these keepsake boxes as a gift recently and loved it (Thanks, Lisa!). The quality of the box is great, and the truffles are, well…already gone! If that’s any indication of how they tasted! Great gift idea for Mother’s Day or a loved one’s birthday. ($65 at Godiva )

Sweet Images from Sweet Paul

I recently discovered a fantastic blog called Sweet Paul that focuses on design, craft & food. Sweet Paul is authored by Paul Lowe, a talented interior and food stylist from NY. His blog is full of wonderful inspiration for food presentation - like the fabulous fruit ice cubes pictured above (from the cookbook Slurp ), which are definitely going on my list of things to try this summer!
These coconut cookie sandwiches are so pretty for a bridal/baby shower or all-white party..
