Sex and the City Dessert Buffet

“Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed, maybe they’re supposed to run wild until they find someone, just as wild, to run with.” Sex and the City

I had the pleasure of creating a fashionable dessert buffet for a hens party. The buffet was inspired by the Sex and the City 2 movie, where the girls leave New York for a girly getaway to Abu Dhabi. I combined girly pinks associated with the girls being in New York with bollywood golds, relating to their exotic holiday location. The stunning cupcakes reflect these themes by using chocolate stilettos and gold Arabic style leaves with sprinkles of glitter and gold pearls. There were a variety of delicious desserts and lollies for the hens party, including raspberries, strawberries and cream, chocolate coins, chupa chups, gold foil wrapped chocolate bars and vanilla and raspberry French macarons. The table featured a gold and ivory desert umbrella with napkins to match. I also customised the candy bags which were stamped with “Love Is Sweet”, adorned with gold and pink diamontes and each pre-filled with a surprise costume wedding ring and quotes from the movie, like the one above. The girls dressed up as their favourite Sex and the City character, dined at an Indian restaurant and enjoyed the dessert buffet before heading out for cosmopolitans and dancing!
