Decor Inspiration: Printed Wallpaper

Bold Black and White.

Pretty in Pink.

Who needs artwork or photography when you have printed wallpaper! Framed photography and artwork are great, but when you choose the right wallpaper...IT IS THE ART. 

I love the black, white, and yellow combination for the bathroom, and the mirror looks like a frame! For the dining room, the table is so eye catching, but lets be honest, the wallpaper makes this room.

If this idea is too much for you, just purchase some wallpaper and frame it to accessorize your room, there is nothing wrong with that, and how easy!

My Dark Chocolate Almond- Raspberry Cupcakes

These cupcakes were for one of the baby showers that I previously mentioned. They may not read "baby shower", but they brought a little elegance to the typical baby shower decor. They are filled with raspberry and includes a cup of chocolate truffle Godiva coffee in the cake batter. The frosting is a basic buttercream with almond extract, may be my favorite to date! 

Best compliment of the evening... " What bakery are these from?!"

Keep me in mind if you are throwing a party!

25.00 - 30.00 per dozen
