Cute Alert: Gender Reveal Cake

Gender reveal cakes are becoming more and more popular. We love a good reason to impress avec les gateaux, so the Lola Pearl team has had a couple of gender reveal parties involving a sweet concoction.

We love love love the way this gender reveal cake spills out pink candies!! 

For the last baby girl, there were filled cupcakes. While it's fun to have the color-coordinated cream filling, spice it up and fill only one with the color. The lucky attendee with the pink or blue cupcake will squeal with delight! Pin It

Cake Pop Lovin'

Behold the ever so popular cake pop. 

Something super easy to make is a beautiful addition to your dessert table. The trick with these babies is that you mix your left over cake scraps with frosting. Roll them up and throw them in the freezer with a lollipop stick. Once they harden, dip them in melting chocolate. Get a little fancy with stripes or roll them in standing sugar. 

We're loving the pink bows these cake pops snapped from a recent bridal show. #Pinkalicious!

"Eat Me" Cupcakes

Here's a tip: 

When a cupcake tells you to eat it, you oblige! 

Pink buttercream frosting is always playful and fun route for a shower. Whether you are celebrating the birth of a baby or showering a bride-to-be, using Nilla Wafers is a great and easy way to pull in an "Alice In Wonderland" dessert table theme.

#wordstoliveby (Home Economics Edition)

I recently found these words in an old Home Economics notebook from the mid 1960s. It resonates now as much as it did back then: 

"The type of home you will have depends entirely upon the ideals and standards you have developed and your ability to build  and provide a suitable one for satisfactory and happy life."
