We have been waiting a long time for birthdays and parties! So does @sofiieg , and when she turned 8 on May 8, friends were invited and the birthday table was decorated in the most beautiful way. Sofie got some of our objects to style with, and since we've known Sofie for a long time, she also had a lot of vases herself, which she chose to use.
Take a look here in the article and get inspired on how you can style your table and cakes for the party.
CAKE TABLE ANNO 2021 AT SOFIE
"In my opinion, a cake table is tastiest if it contains a bit of everything - and for every taste. There should be mousse cakes with different tastes, expressions and textures, cream buns and certainly also filled chocolates where shapes, colors and flavor combinations were played with .
"I love a cake table where I can play with the expression on the different cakes and decorate them neatly."
WHY BAKE AND MAKE CAKES
"I find it difficult to limit myself and love a good occasion to make a cake table. When I'm in the kitchen, I relax with it and can express myself. Baking is also a bit of a game, it's the pursuit of development and trying out techniques that fascinates me.
However, the most important thing is always that I have to have fun with the process and enjoy it, it gives good energy to make a tasty dessert. "
FAVORITE CAKE AND DESSERT
"When I'm asked about it, I usually just answer "one of each please!". I love mousse cakes, and usually go for the pink shades. The taste of raspberry, rhubarb and strawberry twisted with a bit of lime or lemon are my favorite combinations and flavours.”
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TABLE COVER
"A beautiful table setting means a lot to me, I can spend a long time finding inspiration and giving the table setting my own expression. The overall experience is important and the table setting must match the look of the cakes and the occasion they are served on.
After all, a set table is the first impression of the day and creates the setting for the event. I like to take every opportunity I have to cover up nicely. Beautiful ceramics, glass and cutlery should not collect dust, they should be used.
I appreciate when my guests notice that I have spent a lot of time making something special out of it and sense that they appreciate it too. A nicely laid table just makes me happy, and I also enjoy myself when others have made something special out of it.”
Sofie has, among other things, used Flower tubes , Standing bubbles and Hanging bubbles as part of the table setting.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU IN THE KITCHEN
"I am inspired by many things, but especially look for inspiration on Instagram and Pinterest. It can be a mood I want to recreate, a bouquet of flowers that inspires color combinations or a beautiful patterned dress. It is important for me to think outside the box and not reflect my source of inspiration 1:1.
I love details and am very detail oriented and everything is thought out and considered. It is also a great aesthetic inspiration when others make completed projects, designs or cakes.”
A GOOD TIP FOR A BEGINNER
I myself started out in the cake universe with a Pippi mentality: "I haven't tried that before - so I can do it" .
