My love for rosé, dessert, and good company collided over the weekend when I hosted my first cake decorating party! I had so much fun putting all the details together that when the night was over I was a little bummed that I had to pack it all up and clean.
Theme
The theme of the night was simple: rosé and cake!! Who wouldn't want to go to a wine and cake party?
Decor
In keeping with the rosé theme, I used paper flowers and hung them from the stairs to create a flower wall as the back drop to the simple rosé bar.
For the tablescape, I choose to use my kraft wrapping paper as the runner and clusters of candles and vases that I already had. I used fringe garland to create a boarder for the runner. The best part, the rest of the decor consisted of the small tired cakes, decorating tools and aprons at each chair.
Cake Decorating
I baked the cakes using two 6'' cake pans the night before along with the buttercream (recipe here).
Each place setting consisted of a two layered cake, pastry bag of buttercream frosting, an offset spatula, and edible pearls. I decided to show a frosting tutorial so we could all leave with a new baking skill! Since we were sipping rosé, the perfect technique to learn was the rosette or swirl technique. I found a video on YouTube and put it up on the TV screen and we went to work.
Goodie Bags
Everyone took their beautiful cake creations home with them along with the offset spatulas, aprons, and last but not least...rosé in a CAN!!
