A friend and business associate of mine stopped by do drop off some samples for a project we are woking on. I knew she was bringing her daughter and I thought it would be adorable to set up a sweet little ‘Pastry Shop’ in my studio where she could eat special little treats while her mom and I worked. The bonus, I have a ton of Barbie dolls and Barbie toys under the French Antique Bed and stored in a nearby closet. She was enchanted by the yummy goodies and all the Barbies.
I knew I would have no time to bake as it was spur of the moment, I had plans later that evening with friends and a full day of kids, errands and business. I went to Whole Foods and Coco Luxe Patisserie and purchased lovely treats. We have a wonderful Whole Foods and the chicest sweetest Patisserie nearby that has wonderful goodies.When I arrived home I quickly set everything up in our studio/office area.
My very talented son Sam photographed many of the pictures in this post, his are the better ones!!
Moral of this blog post, ‘Sometimes take-out is a Bunny’s best friend’
Plus it freed me up to make a quick healthy dinner and then put on some pink lipgloss and high heels and go out later that evening with friends.
Dinner Menu:
Gorgonzola, rosemary, honey, grape whole wheat pizzas
quick marinated grilled steak
caprese salad with pesto drizzle
melon wrapped in proscioutto
~see photos of menu below~
For pizza recipe visit me on half hour meals here
And as always I encourage you to do something beautiful today
~Stop by Tablescape Thursdays, Foodie Fridays and Pink Saturday this week for great design ideas, recipes and fabulous tablescapes_

Hi Bunny… oooh, I am hungry now! All these goodies look so yummy! I want that beautiful cake for my birthday that is coming up soon… how fun you decorated that way and let your friend’s little girl play Barbies… sounds like such a wonderful way to spend the day… now I want to go back and look at everything again… Hello Oliver!… xoxo Julie Marie
Oliver tomorrow I’ll take you out for lunch and treats!! Yay I can’t wait! We can spend the entire day together.

Mommy
Help! I’m hungry!
ooohhh la la! Take out pastries! What a great idea…especially bc I am watching my calories. I wish I could eat some! It must be fun to host a little girl & share the Barbies. My grand daughter 5, loves my Barbies but her parents dont want her to play w them..(shape, etc) .oh well..she’ll grow up soon enough…
At least she knows her Gigi is cool! Fingernail polish, sunglasses, hats, & fashion!
Oh my! This is a bad place to visit when you’re on a diet! This looks dreamy!
The Pastry Shop looks gorgeous. You had a great photographer. The sweets almost didn’t look real!! Oh, I was having a sugar craving. And then I saw what you were having for dinner!!!! I am going to think twice about visiting you on an empty stomach, Bunny!

Your sweet treat post and delicious dinner is wonderful. I love all the precious delicacies… there are even pastel woopie pies! So adorable and over the top!
With joy!

Yummy and pink … what else do you need . ıts just perfect
A sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm! Everything in your new post looks wonderful Bunny – I didn’t know about that little bakery in Peapack – I will have to take a ride over to buy something yummy. You have such a gift at putting things together in such an elegant way! We are on our way to Asheville – checking out Monticello today. Hope all is well! Ciao, bella!
Bonjour Bunny,
I agree, take-out can be wonderful. Especially with CocoLux aclose by – what great packageing. Everything looks so appealing, Sam did a fantastic job as photographer. What a team! I’m heading off to check out the pizza recipe. Hope you are feeling better and enjoying the Springtime!
Bonne journée!
Mimi
Bunny,
You are so sweet to have provided such a delightful afternoon for your young friend. You need a daughter…wink, wink!
Your son did a super job on the pictures. You are a treat.
Enjoy the day!

HI BUNNY,
WOW!! ALL YOUR DESSERTS LOOK SO DELICIOUS, I ENVY THAT LITTLE GIRL. YOUR WHOPPIE PIES ARE SO DELECATE LOOKING, LOVE THEM. YOUR MENU IS, YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY, THAT PIZZA LOOKS SOOOO GOOD. HOPE YOU HAD A NICE EVENING. RIZZI
Bunny, that dessert table is driving me nuts, it looks so yummy! That blue pedestal cake plate is soooo pretty.
I was drawn to the small glass and metal table in the first shots. That’s a beauty. The desserts look good too but a table is forever. — Jane F.
Bunny!
This is off-the-charts a wonderful idea ~ can you just imagine all the lovely, fluffy, sweet thoughts that went through the little girl’s head when she entered the room?!!? What a wonderful treat!
Bisous,
Melissa
Hi, Bunny! This is my first time leaving a comment, although I have visited your site a couple of times before – I am new to blogging, so I am checking out everyone’s wonderful blogs. (My blog is pretty lame so far, but I keep saying that I hope to be adding to it soon!) Your treats look divine – I know that the visiting little girl probably went straight for that mini rose-colored iced chocolate cup! The cake looks delicious too. And those little pastel meringue sandwiches – they look delightful! PLUS, your very chic dinner — I enjoyed seeing everything. Thanks for sharing!
Best regards,
Gloria
Bunny, this little girl will never in a million years forget what a treat you’ve prepared for her. You are beyond awesome!
What a divine and pretty little party! That would be any little girl’s dream…sweet pastries, pink decorations and Barbie!
I love your pizza idea too. I am definitely going to have to try it!
Best wishes and happy weekend,
Natasha.
What a wonderful thing to do for a little girl. She must have been enchanted. I was!!
What beautiful pictures!! Also the cupcakes and pastries look so pretty and delicious!!
What a thoughtful think to do! I’m sure both mother and daughter were thrilled (at least until she got the sugar rush
. Your dinner sounds wonderful. I am not usually a prosciutto fan, but love it paired with melon. Great photos!
These pictures are so cute, delicious and yummy that I will surely keep coming back on your lovely blog for yet more inspiration and sugary sunshine! You do it so well dear Bunny. You are a multi-talent!
That looks so beautiful! It reminds me of Marie Antoinette : ) And that dinner looks amazing…How so you stay so skinny??? Probably all the running around you do!! Have a wonderful Pink Saturday and a great weekend. I didn’t post a Pink Saturday this week but thought I’d pop by for a visit. Glad I did, just beautiful : )
Forget your little visitor, I want your yummy goodies and want to play with all the Barbies!
Such a lovely surprise for your friends. And your dinner looks marvelous. I love caprese salad and have read about (but never made) the grape pizza. It looks marvelous!
Happy Weekend, Bunny!
So much beauty in one Pink Saturday post!
Sherry @ A Happy Valentine
FABULOUS photograhs, and a lovely display of everything. I spied macaroons… ohh… never mind the healthy eating, just give me those and that stand with all the cup cakes…
Happy Pink Saturday!
Hi sweet Bunny…..oh I want to come play tea party with you..everything looks amazing. You have made me very happy today with all these girly girl things….hope your day is filled with all the sweetness you always share with us. xoxoxoxox
I have been craving Caprese salad for days. Yours looks delicious!
I just love all of these adorable and scrumptous looking pastrys you have posted in these beautiful trays and plates. Your room and the pastrys are all also matching and look so very beautiful together, like a dream… What a lucky little girl to come to your home!!! I also read that little Oliver got to go out the next day for pastrys too. How fun!!!!!
Cheers,
Lia

Bunny, what a doll you are to do this for your friends daughter!! She must have been over the moon! I know I would be, even at the age I am now! Those cupcakes are so pretty! And the cake looks delish! I LOVE going to the bakery to get desserts! They are much prettier and yummier than I could do! The dinner looks so good too!! You always make me hungry, lol!
I throw lots of tea parties in the summer. I wish we lived closer, we would have so much fun!!
Love you sweet friend,
Amy
