This ORGANIC GREEN FORTIETH BIRTHDAY PARTY DESSERT BUFFET was submitted by Melissa Fernandez of The Sweet Society in Australia. I love the contrast of the natural burlap with the clean lines of the chevron print. It gives the party an unusual rustic modern vibe. A few of my favorite ideas in this organic green party are:
The ricrac trim and simple succulent embellishments on the crisp white fondant cake The dogwood sugar flower cupcake toppers The apothecary jars filled with whole walnuts and MORE!

Here’s what Melissa said about planning the party- “I was very fortunate to be asked by Fran who owns the renowned Cake School in Melbourne, Australia, where some of the worlds best bakers run the most amazing cake classes for aspiring bakers, to style her best friends 40th dessert buffet as a surprise for her. The design brief was clean, organic, greens & succulents – Natis favourite. Fran made the cake and called upon one of her friends, Julie from One Sweet Girl, to make the desserts. The dessert buffet menu from these talented bakers consisted of a caramel mud cake with roasted, salted almonds, chocolate mud cake pops and mini cupcakes (which were delicious lemon flavor with vanilla bean buttercream topped with dogwood sugar flowers). There were also green mini vanilla bean meringues with silver glitter detail, iced vanilla bean cookies and salted caramel, pistachio and vanilla macarons. I decided to use hessian in the paperie and add a little chevron pattern to add a layer to the styling. I also added wooden tea lights to add ambiance to the occasion. Nati is Uruguayan so they served a traditional Uruguayan BBQ for the main meal. The surprise dessert buffet from Fran to Nati was a beautiful gesture of friendship and love.” Items used in this party available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop:BurlapCupcake LinersLollipop / Treat SticksJute TwineApothecary Jars
