Recently I have discovered that there are a lot of little party items that I absolutely love, can not have enough of and people ask me often, where did you get it? Little things like a certain cocktail napkin, striped straws, flower vases, etc. I thought I would start a new blog series on Party Loves, featuring little things I love to add when entertaining that make an event just a bit more special and sparkly when not sucking your bank account dry! First up, gold leaf!

Adding Gold Leaf to a drink, some desserts or even a cheese plate makes it look fancy fancy! A small little envelope of Cake Professional Finest Gold Leaf goes a long way as well. Make sure to use tweezers when applying the gold leaf, otherwise it tends to stick together if you just use your fingers. A small envelope is about £5 and will make your drinks look like £50 ;)

A bit of edible powder is also pretty fabulous to sprinkle on desserts as well! I find gold dust online here or also at your local kitchen store. It is the littlest touch, but trust me, your guests will be impressed when you serve them a morning doughnut that is glittery and edible.

Champagne cake! I may be trying this recipe for Christmas this year, sprinkled with lots of gold dust!

How much do you love those fortune cookies, obsessed. Such an inexpensive item made to look super luxe with some gold sparkle.

Buy some Krispy Kreme doughnuts and add a little gold dust, voila, super fancy brunch! Or a classic glass of champagne with some gold sparkle added to the glass and your guests will WAY be impressed. Happy entertaining! I think every day should have a little extra sparkle in your glass or on our breakfast, so why not for sure add it during the Christmas season!
