All in the Details | Terrariums
2.22.2012
West Elm's recent catalog featured some beautiful terrariums created by designer Shane Powers, along with his step by step guide to creating a tabletop version for yourself. Terrariums have made a resurgence as of late, and I happen to think they make an inspired DiY centerpiece for events. Check out some of my favorites from around the web...

DiY Holiday Centerpiece: Sugared Fruit
12.12.2011
Please join me in welcoming our new floral contributor - Kim Foren of Geranium Lake. You can read all about her stylish floral design on her site or right here.
I'm so excited to have her as part of the CAKE. team... her simple tutorials like the one below are sure to help even black thumbs
like me create beautiful arrangements for parties and home decor!
Hello from Kim of Geranium Lake flowers! This holiday project is one of our favorites for so many reasons… it reminds us of the Sugar Plum Fairies from the Nutcracker ballet, and it is soooo easy.
Supplies:
-Fruit (we used apples, pears, plums, grapes, pomegranates, etc)
-Egg whites (2-3, depending on how much fruit you are sugaring)
-Paintbrush
-Sugar
Assembly is simple and this could be a fun project with kids too!
Step 1: Paint egg white directly onto the skin of the fruit.
Step 2: Roll in sugar
Step 3: Place on a drying rack until dried.
You can use your “sparkling” fruit in arrangements:
Or, pile them into a large bowl, embellish with a few loose stems (we love roses and gold painted magnolia leaves!) and you’ve got an instant centerpiece!
