Candy, candy, candy and MORE candy! Here are a few shots of a dessert bar we styled a few weeks ago at the Driskill Hotel.
We made mini marshmallow cakes with personalized flags, the picks were super fun with little gold accents!
There was so much candy to be found on this bar, from 22k gold jordan almonds to coconut malt balls…..even larger than life lollipops!
Till next time!
Cheers,

Dessert Bar for the ISES 2012 Trend Party
We got crafty last week at Stardust!
Almond Sugar Cookies with sugar ruffles and cameo brooches.
White chocolate and mint truffles with dark chocolate curls.
This bar was especially fun to create ! As always we made everything from scratch, including the mod paper sculptures pictured above!
We wanted to try something a little different for the bar we created for the ISES Event last week!
In keeping with the paper sculpture theme – we baked some yummy almond sugar cookies and added some sugar ruffle and ‘cone’ decor.
In addition to the paper sculptures we carried on the theme to the table with a coordinating paper cake stand!
Macarons with dark chocolate ganache filling.
Our latest three tier cake design! We ruffled layers upon layers of sugar for this modern interpretation of a femme cake. We painted a few of the ruffles with 22k gold!
Chocolate Italian cream cupcakes with polka dot chocolate garnish.
A big thanks to
Dragonfly Design for creating the adorable labels
La Flur Vintage for supplying the beautiful floral arrangements
Adam Moroz Photography for the lovely photographs
Cheers!

If you have ever dreamed of being a princess…..if you love pink, all things glitter & gold….if you love pearls and generally enjoy being a girl…..then you will love this dessert bar! At Stardust we adore the ultra feminine projects, this was a treat (pun intended) to put together! We had gilded chocolates, luscious crepe cakes, delicate french macarons and PINK marshmallows to name a few of the sweets!
We set up in front of a beautiful mirror in a golden frame!
Even the linens had a bit of sparkle to them.
Here we have something new, macaron towers made out of pink macarons and tiny sugar bees hand painted in 22k gold!
Blush meringues and macarons are pictured above!

Natural, green, fresh and crisp are some of the words that were tossed about when we were coming up with inspiration for this earthy dessert bar! We wanted to incorporate things from nature, like wooden accents and live plants as decor keeping the palate clean and natural.
In keeping with our ‘earthy’ theme we created bon bons with a local buckwheat honey ganache!
Pictured above we have our deliciously decadent Double Chocolate Cherry Brownies, Whoopie Pie Cupcakes and Mini Lemon Tarts!
Our moist Almond Cake with Cheesecake and Fresh Strawberries!
To finish things off, we have chocolate bars with these lovely custom made candy wrappers by Dragonfly Designs! This is an exceptional way to add a bit of your personal flair to your celebration! A big thanks to Rojo Photography for these lovely shots!
Cheers,

Simple, Romantic, and Modern
Fall is officially here and we are smitten with changing colors all around us. Each year we look forward to moving from the playful colors of summer to the romantic hues leading us into the winter months. Some of our favorite client’s, Anna and Tripp, were married last weekend on the beautiful grounds of Old Glory Ranch in Wimberly, where Kellye and Andrea of Design by Sage coordinated a most beautiful and romantic wedding ceremony and reception. The bridal cake consisted of alternating tiers of Vanilla and Pure Almond cake with Vanilla Bean Butter Cream.
Ivory and Celadon Sugar Hydrangeas
We get requests for a wide range of bridal sugar flowers for wedding cakes, however one of the most popular requests is for sugar hydrangeas. These versatile flowers are unique in the they come in so many colors and can either be the star of the show or simply used for added texture. The olive double face satin ribbon on the cake matched perfectly with the ivory and green toile table linens, and the candlelight framing both sides of the cake glowed with romance. We thank Stella Alesi for these lovely photographs.

Juicy red apples, crackling fires, rustling orange leaves, corduroy , crisp air, cinnamon and clove,the smell of freshly purchased books
and a warm cup of tea…these are just a few things that Autumn evokes.
At Stardust we have been eagerly anticipating this wonderful season! Fall promises cooler weather and with crisp winds on their way, what are we in the mood for? Something warm and a little richer than our light summer fare. We have been craving things like warm apple pie, rich fig confiture on our morning bagel and perhaps a macaron filled with a sinfully decadent Flur de Sel Ganache! We are proud to announce that we will be sharing some of our favorite baked goods and confitures with you at the Barton Creek Farmers Market this coming Saturday! So dig out your fall jacket out of the back of your closet and come say hi and maybe try a tart or two while your there!
Thanks to Austin Wedding Photographer (eric.hegwer.com) we have these lovely photographs of our yummy confitures!
See you at the market!
Cheers!

Le Macaron!
The French have given us many things….Chanel, Champagne, beautiful cinema….and one of our favorite French culinary creations is the macaron, or as we say ‘macaroon’. This is an undeniably chic, petit cookie. Suzi at Q Wedding Photography worked with us to create this beautiful photo gallery and just in time to celebrate Bastille day! We are so pleased to work with this talented Austin photographer!
White Chocolate Blueberry, Valrhona Chocolate, and Meyer Lemon Macaroons
Rich, chewy, crunchy, sweet! These are all words synonymous with the Macaroon. The texture is distinct and its flavor can vary. Our favorite flavors include Milk Chocolate Passion Fruit, Cocoa Nib, Japanese Green Tea, Wild Strawberry, Cherry Blossom, and White Truffle. These flavors can be varied from the type of occasion to the time of the season. J’adore!
