We are excited to share with you photos of the dessert table that we created for Stephanie and Ryan's wedding at Villa Montalvo. The shots below were captured by their wedding photographer, Megs Marvels. ​A big thanks to Eileen, the mother of the bride, who sent us these wonderful pictures! ​

August 2019 marks an exciting milestone for us at Sweet Events Bay Area. We're officially 5 years of being in business!

It started with a vision five years ago, and now we've grown to working with over 100 clients and corporate teams, of which 50% are return customers; we have graced nearly 70 event venues and private homes with our styled dessert tables and photo booth set-up; and have established a great network of partners in bakers and vendors.

​We thank you, our clients, for allowing us to be a part of your special moments, and for the confidence you have placed in us. And, we thank you, our partners, for your continued support.

It has been an exciting five years, and we're looking forward to creating many more sweet memories in the Bay Area, one celebration at a time!

Wishing everyone a safe and awesome 4th of July!

 Happy Father's Day to all Dads!

Here's a peek of Geoffrey and Myles' dessert buffet table that we styled for their wedding at Biltmore Hotel and Suites in Santa Clara. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

This is a story about a little girl named Tessa who turned 6 years old this May, and wished for a Unicorn-themed birthday.

Upon hearing of Tessa's wish, her mother sought the help of Aunt Angel who knew about magical Unicorns living in some enchanted woods that wasn't anywhere, just a place one could dream of. And that's where Tessa and her friends went to celebrate.

That special place was guarded by two immaculately-groomed gold horses who stood watch over the  sparkly-colored unicorns who lived there. It was a place where rainbow-colored clouds could be stored in jars, and white clouds were used as pillows for the Unicorns to sleep on. One of the adventures the Unicorns loved to do was to venture into the enchanted woods to collect magical wands made of pretzels! Tessa and her friends ate what the Unicorns loved to eat- Unicorn Toast made of Rice Krispies, Vanilla Cupcakes, Magical Sugar Cookies, Moon Kisses made of Vanilla meringue cookies, and Rainbow Candy Necklaces!

But alas, it was time to go. Tessa and her friends said goodbye to their Unicorn friends, and they were all deeply filled with joy!   

We are so excited to share with you our Versailles-themed Dessert Table which we styled for a baby shower. We found creative inspiration from the Palace of Versailles in France- the epitome of opulence, lavishness and architectural grandeur. The table was decorated with ornate tapestry, gilded medallions, masks and feathers which are reminiscent of the Masquerade Balls of Versailles.

The guests enjoyed Cream puffs and Chocolate Eclairs, Sugar cookies shaped in baby items, Chocolate-dipped Strawberries, Chocolate-covered Oreos  both with gold crown toppers, French Macarons, and Tiramisu shots.

Isn't this such a grand dessert table?

May your day be special!

​"That your day, in other words, leaves you feeling like you’re known. And appreciated. And liked. And loved, for the person you are and the person you’ve been and the person you’re becoming — none of whom is perfect, none of whom pretends to be, none of whom would really want to be perfect or even hang out with someone perfect because perfect chokes all the laughing and the falling and the exploring and the growing out of life."
- Hedi Stevens, "Balancing Act " Column Writer,
​Chicago Tribune 

 Understated...clean lines...careful craftmanship...wherever you look there is something that delights the senses"
 -Maximilian Missoni, Volvo Vice President, Exterior Design  on the new Volvo Luxury SUV XC60.

Choice adjectives uttered by Mr. Missoni. For us at Sweet Events Bay Area, these words served as our guide in creating Volvo's dessert bar. Marked by natural wood and metal materials, simple lines, and gourmet versions of well-loved classic dessert treats such as Twinkies, DingDongs, Berry Pies, and Chocolate Chip Cookies, the charming dessert table exuded elements of warmth, and a sense of familiarity.  Inspired by the Scandinavian design, the  table had a minimalist aesthetic that was high in function, low on fuss, and a delight to the senses from all the yummy goodness!

This was one of our special projects too because we not only created the dessert bar for Volvo, but also organized the food and drinks which consisted of a variety of quick bites, and the barista bar service for this event. The presence of the barista bar was a great addition. Aren't desserts and coffee a great paring combination? Guests enjoyed an open bar of macchiato, cappuccino, espresso, latte, cold brew, americano and more. How awesome is that?

If you are interested to have us take care of the planning and coordinating of the food, drinks, and/or add an Espresso bar at your event, let us know.

The broadcast team chose to hold their interviews right in front of the dessert table.  (And yes, we were thrilled by that decision! )

Super Bowl Sunday is fast approaching. Here's an easy dessert recipe for you and your kids to prepare and enjoy .
  

Football Cocoa-Crispy Rice Treats
Recipe Courtesy of Food Network Kitchen

Celebrate game day with this chocolaty update of the classic cereal treats. For big and little kids: Let them help with measuring ingredients, shaping the footballs and rolling out and arranging the laces. Big kids can also help stir the warm ingredients together


Ingredients
Cooking spray
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
6 cups cocoa-flavored crispy rice cereal
About 12 vanilla- or chocolate-flavored candy chews, such as Tootsie Rolls

​
Directions

1. Coat a wooden spoon and 1/3-cup dry measuring cup with cooking spray. Line a baking sheet with parchment, and coat lightly with cooking spray.
2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the marshmallows, honey, vanilla and a pinch of salt, and stir with the prepared wooden spoon until the marshmallows have completely melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the cereal and stir until the mixture is fully combined.
3. Use the prepared measuring cup to scoop out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in mounds. Let them cool for a few seconds to make them easier to work with. Spray your hands with cooking spray, and firmly press and pat each mound into a football shape. Let the treats sit at room temperature to harden slightly, about 20 minutes.
4. Cut the candy chews lengthwise into quarters. Roll the pieces into thin ropes and cut into short and long lengths to make laces. Arrange the candy on top of each football, pressing in to help them adhere. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

We were thrilled that Google asked us to work with them again for their 2018 holiday party! Their theme was Winter Wonderland, a popular theme for us in 2018. We were tasked to create two candy bars. Since this event was a more formal affair, we took inspiration from the snow white landscape of winter but kept the bars simple, chic, and sophisticated.

This year's holiday party was held at the prestigious Bentley Reserve, the former San Francisco Federal Reserve and prominent landmark of the Financial District.

Happy New Year everyone! 

Here is the first set of photos from our candy and dessert bars from these past months. These are from our Winter Wonderland-themed candy bar for Autodesk. In styling this table, we wanted to recreate the snow shrouded forest one would experience in the back country during the dead of winter.  It was so much fun!

This is the yellow and gray dessert buffet table we set up at the St. Joseph's Basilica Hall in Alameda last weekend. 

The principal purpose for this buffet table was truly unique. It was a special tribute by the family for a beloved member, Herb, who passed away.  

The dessert table celebrated Herb's life by highlighting his achievements in service and those he enjoyed doing through the custom-made labels and signage we positioned around the table. As a result, it united guests in their heartfelt appreciation for Herb. Even for us at Sweet Events Bay Area, it was a first of it's kind. 

Here are two adorable Father's Day cards that your dad will surely cherish. Print these 2 cards onto A4 size cardstock, cut out cards, and fold.

We honor and celebrate all fathers and father-figures this Father's day!
