"Our client Megan approached us to design a dessert table," Yolanda says. "The brief was simple: a farmyard theme with a girlie bent. We achieved this look by incorporating sweet cottage flower prints and a pastel color palette throughout. The party was scheduled in the first week of Spring, so we drew inspiration from flowers, fabrics, and, of course, assorted farm animals." Anders Ruff printables and desserts, including farm-fresh egg cake pops, farm animal cookies, and macarons, are just some of the highlights of this sweet affair, photographed by Eleanor Conduit of Yuelle Studios.
