Springtime Blossom Cupcake Decorating Class by Sweet Things By Fi

We are delighted to announce Fi's Springtime Blossom Cupcake Class will be held at our shop on the 24th March and we already have bookings so be quick as there are limited places left.

You will learn how to create stunning accent cupcakes, adorned with handmade sugar roses and fantasy flowers, and you can wow your friends when you create your own cupcakes at home with your newly acquired skills!

Buttercream piping skills will also be taught.

The Springtime Blossom cupcake class, we think, will be Fi's most popular class, as it focuses solely on the decorative side of cupcake making and sugar flower design just in time for your Easter entertaining!

At the end of the class you will be the proud designer and owner of six beautiful vanilla and chocolate cupcakes that can either mirror Fi's designs above or be completely new if you are feeling creative!

The class will last for around 2 ½ hours and refreshments (and cake!) will be provided throughout.

All our classes have had positive feedback so perhaps this is a good excuse for you and your girlfriends to spend an afternoon together!

Glamour at the Chopard Red Carpet Party in Marbella

We are always delighted to work with Carlos and Anne from Lipara Productions who create some stunning events here in Marbella and the Chopard Red Carpet Client Party was no exception. Carlos and Anne had been given the task yet again of transforming the Marbella Club Beach Restaurant into a stunning and glamourous venue with a red carpet theme.

This is where we come in with my fabulous team we were on the beach at 8am, after a few coffees!, ready to start the transformation.

I had met with Carlos beforehand to work out what we were going to do and the technical stuff along with Anne who was organising and designing it and so at 8am in the morning we started to completely cover the beach club with red and black fabrics. Anne had one of my suppliers making up table covers, throws and runners and along with these stunning lights and the flooring team in afterwards the transformation was complete. We are thrilled with the results and the glamour and stars shone again in Marbella!

Suite De Mar Opening Party Photos

We have just been sent a link on Twitter on this event we decorated today, fabulous photos, check out this link to Marbella Chic to see this fantastic evening!

Suite Del Mar Opening Party Puente Romano

We don´t do just weddings! We also decorate many of the events in the Marbella calendar and today was no exception as we decorated the staging for the opening party of the Suite del Mar at the beautiful Puente Romano hotel.

It is not often I show work in action as it always looks a bit boring, but I have decided recently to show you more of the behind the scenes and when we get the wow photos of this event I will post these as well, the before, setting up and after!

Here we are decorating all the staging for the opening party tonight with orange fabrics and I got let loose with gold spray paints, you can see my backside in one of these photos fussing over a cocktail table! Tonight though as I type this, this party will be well underway with acrobats dressed in gold lame performing off that very high triangle (rather them than me!), orange lighting, fab music from the DJ and I can imagine a great night! I of course am tucked up here at home with my sunburn and chocolate!

Another great event on Saturday to look forward to with the Butterfly Ball and the Rhys Daniel Trust, again at the Puente Romano Hotel, we are providing the decorations and goody bags for the 4th year running, a fabulous charity and very worth while, so a personal thing for me to do.

Currently the charity golfing challenge for this event is underway hosted by Max Clifford and many other celebrities and culminating in this gala on Saturday night.

More photos to come as all our weddings and events take place :)

Magical Moroccan Night at Puente Romano Hotel

We had a fabulous time decorating this Moroccan party at the beautiful Puente Romano hotel. One of my favorite venues here in Marbella.

This party was the start of a 3 day event last weekend to welcome guests for a wedding weekend to the Marbella Club.

 It was quite short notice, about 3 days! but we managed to pull it off, only just though as we had another 100 chairs added in on the day so a quick visit to the shops to finish this off, thankfully the rain held off although the following day on the 3rd July here it rained? 

We were allowed in to photograph this before the guests arrived but I did get a phone call at 11.30 that night from one of the suppliers to tell me how fabulous and beautiful it looked once it had got dark, we are hoping we may get a few photos of this in darkness as I had some fabulous lighting and millions of candles here.

Our thanks to the forever cheerful and patient Jennifer Jane from Jeremy Standley for coming along again to photograph one of our events, always with a last minute panicked request from me!

My thanks also to my brilliant team, Izzi and Maddie my long suffering daughters, Susana that has now worked with me for 3 years and our new team member Anoulka, without these fabulous ladies I could never pull off an event like this and thank them for their hard work, reliability and tireless efforts.  Also to Carlos from Lipara Productions, a lovely man I work closely with all the time, without Carlos there would be no staging, lighting and sound!
