real parties: lemon & aqua citrus sweets

One evening last week my husband hosted an event for his business at a local med spa, and I offered to do the planning for him.  Keeping the spa locale in mind, I designed the graphics around a yellow & aqua citrus theme, and arranged a dessert table to showcase baked goods from Cakewalk Baking.  Michele did an incredible assortment of citrus treats for us including sandwich cookies, two kinds of cupcakes, meringue tarts and lemon bars.  I accented the table with seasonal flowers, fresh lemons and coordinating ribbon, but everyone's favorite touch was the sour lemon balls lining the jadite cake plates- a whimsical way to add a pop of color!  Though the photos and the lighting don't really do the event justice, I was incredibly pleased with how everything turned out.  I hope you enjoy the fresh colors... a great combo to consider for your spring or summer birthday celebration.
