Love Cake

So its been a hectic few months. But as they say hard work pays off or good things come to those who wait. Well Avalon Events now has another company under her umbrella and its called "LOVE CAKE" because we all do. The nice thing about love cake is its all the love and none of the fat!!!! How great is that ................. you can now have your cake and eat it!

With such a HYPE about the healthy way of living and the importance of eating right, so many of us are missing out on the really great things in life. My man is a health Junkie (for lack of a better word) but he won't eat anything that even looks like its gonna increase his waist line. I decided that i need to come up with something that he could enjoy and still look as good as he does.

Now don't get me wrong i still have those extra special tasty one for the little kiddies in my life. Cause kids are meant to be spoilt, but i use sugar free (not taste free) so that they can eat as many as they like without loosing out on the money from the tooth mouse (due to bad teeth).

I can hear you asking "if it's got no sugar how can it be nice?" well i'll let you know that it is better than good. But i'll let you be the judge.

We offer birthday cakes, wedding cakes, cupcakes, tarts, biscuits any anything you can eat. So don't forget to add some LOVE to your next event.

Please e-mail me at avalon.events@live.co.za if you would like a price list or more information.

See you where ever the party is

Have a super evening

Hugs and kisses

Cakes, cupcakes and tasty little treats!

As mentioned in an earlier blog, i have been learning to bake! i cannot explain how much fun i am having. I design beautiful artworks which are great to look at (or so i think) but the best part is when someone takes a bit and their faces light up .............. they love it!

It has not been easy and a few tears have been shed along the way. I have tried to teach myself everything that i have learnt, Google is such a great tool, you can find anything you can dream of . This would be how i learnt to do all the wonderful things i am now able to do.

With the great friends and family i had orders coming from all directions ....... which was great only problem, I still did not really know what i was doing. But as they say sink or swim.................. i swam and now thanks to the support and belief of others i create some really beautiful edible artworks.

Should you be interested in placing an order , getting more information, please do not hesitate to contact me at avalon.events@live.co.za

Love as always

New adventures

Hello all you lovely people!!!

Its been such a long time since i wrote to let you all know whats going on with me, but i have some really exciting things to report. Since the last time ,my business has stayed rather the same. Its been a bit slow but i guess it is winter here are the moment! We will have to wait for summer to see. But i am currently working on an amazing fashion show which i hope to have ready by spring day. Its a charity event and something that is very close to my heart. I am as i am sure you have noticed a kids person, they are a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. A friendly smile when nothing seems to be going your way. AND they have nothing to gain from it, so you always know it is straight from the heart. So my fashion show is being held to raise money for a school that has opened for children who don't have a place to stay, have no way of getting and education or just a warm place to lay there heads down after something good to eat. If you would like to be involved in this please comment with your details and I'll contact you!!!

Then i have also started helping out at a new spa which opened up in the Cape Quarter Building in Greenpoint. I really love this place because although they have not cut any corners when it comes to decor and style. They have a price list that fits anyone's budget. Don't believe me, have a look below.

Our current specials are amazing, we have a 30min back, neck and shoulder mass + a 30 min organic facial for only R279.00.

We also have a Mani and Pedi for R249.00. Now if your not convinced pop in and come see for your self. Our contact number is 021 418 0078 or you can e-mail us at info@hilton-medispa.co.za. Check out our facebook page for upcoming special and extra little treats.

Look forward to seeing you all there.

Love as always the party planner

My inspiration

Cross hanging from the door frame at Vrede en Lust

I thought i would share some of the beautiful things i have found a long my way. Things that have inspired me to be who i am today, as well as where i am today. These things are both simple and mesmerizing. They are breathtaking and at the same time one would nearly not even realise they were there had you not been looking at the right place at the right moment.

The view from the top of a mountain, makes you feel as free as a bird

Life is not measured by the
amount of breaths we take.
But by the moments
that take our breath away

A picture i found lying on the ground after the rain

I hope that you have enjoyed these little things, and that they will bring as much inspiration to your life as they have to mine. Remember the next time your out and about, take a moment to look around you. You will be amazed at the beauty that is all around you.

Love is the greatest inspiration of all.

Have a fantastic week, and a happy happy Easter!!

Photographer

I have decided to focus today's blog on the people that make my life a bit easier. Today i am going to focus on not only my best friend in the whole world but also one the the best photographers i know. Her photos are amazing, why? because she tends to get in there where the action is happening and takes photos that a lot of people might miss. Apart from being a great photographer she is one hell of a retoucher. Which means that when you receive your photos she had taken out the kid picking his nose in the background, or the dog licking the cake (only joking). She makes every photo special, because she understands that you only live that moment once, but having the perfect pictures can capture it for a lifetime.
Since before i started doing events, Candice has been at every family function, be it a birthday, a braai, or something as special as a wedding. She has been there with her camera and its thanks to her that we have so many amazing photos of these special moments.

Here are some pictures of my sisters wedding that i helped arrange. Candice took the most amazing photos of the layout. While the wedding photographer was busy with the Bride and Groom she managed to get the most amazing photo's of the guests.



The last photo's are an example of how amazing she is at retouching. I have added the before and after picture to show you what a difference it can make to your photos. She even went as far as to give me blue eyes (i am in love). As you can see she puts a lot of effort into her work. Candice can also restore old photos, change them even add people into them (for that guy who missed the wedding ).

As you can see Candice is a brilliant photographer, her work speaks for it self, which is why i use her for all my events. I would recommend her for every event that i do, and i do!!! If you would like to use Candi at your next event please leave me a message and i will send you her details.

Have a wonderful weekend xxxxx

Weddings and other formal events

Weddings and formal events is something i am really looking forward to getting involved in. The idea of creating all those beautiful flower arrangements, coming up with the perfect menu. Transforming an empty venue into a magical dream come true. To see the face of the bride as she walks into the room, knowing that you have managed to create exactly what she has dreamed of since she was a little girl, must be the most amazing feeling.

I still have tons to learn and am so excited about all the new adventures i will be taking. Learning to arrange flowers and baking the perfect cake, is what i am currently studying. Then its on to hotel school to learn how to make all the yummy food. For now i have a chef, but later i would like to do it all myself!! Maybe one day I'll even be making you that perfect wedding dress.

Hope your having a super day

love me xxxx

Kiddies events

Its been a very busy week, apart from the fact that my brother in law Miles came to visit us from New York. Which was such a great surprise. This past week, i got my kiddies party business started. I can't explain how excited i am about this, kids are so special.

I know that we are going to make tons of little girls and boys feel that much more special on their birthdays. We have 6 different party sets at the moment. If we don't have what the little one needs, we will go out and find it. If they can dream it, we can make it.

Have a fantastic day everyone, and we will see you at next party!!!

Love me xxxx
