Have you ever had one of those moments when you find a simple recipe and wonder… Where have you been all my life? As a kid, I remember when I was introduced to Magic Shell chocolate sauce, it was earth shattering for me. I must have been seven or eight and I thought that was the COOLEST stuff EVER!!! Here is how you can make your very own homemade Magic Shell chocolate sauce…

For those of you who don't know… Magic Shell is a chocolate sauce that is liquid when you pour it on ice cream and then within a few seconds it solidifies and creates a tasty hard shell. Lovely!

Valentine Cookie Cartons

0 · Feb 2, 2011 · 8 Comments

I am in love with Valentine’s Day this year. I just can’t get enough of it and all the fun creations that come with it.

Again… packaging is everything!! I made some fun heart shaped chocolate chip cookies the other day, and thought this would be a fun Valentine goodie, but what should I put it in?

I found these lovely cartons at a restaurant supply store here in Vegas, they were super-cheap and I knew I could dress them up!

I designed a logo for the front of the carton which I printed on sticker paper, basically one large label. You can find them at your office supply store. I then created a topper for the lid, and voila, done. A perfect little container for my sweet little heart shaped delights!

Oh… and just because I {heart} you, I am going to share my printable for the Valentine cartons!! {Click on the image to download.}

Ribbon Christmas Trees {Tutorial}

288 · Dec 21, 2010 · 81 Comments

I wanted to do something different with my Christmas décor this year to break away from the traditional red and green. I decided to go with black and white.

But in an effort not to break the bank, I tried to make a lot of the new decorations. One thing that caught my eye this season was the ribbon Christmas trees we’ve seen so often. But I wanted to do them a little bit differently.

Instead of folding the ribbon in half (picture on left), I looped it around (picture on right).

First I spray painted my Paper Mache cones black. Then I cut black and white stitched grosgrain ribbon into pieces ranging from 2.5 –4 inches. I started with the longer pieces at the bottom. After looping the ribbon, I secured each piece with hot glue, and finished row by row, shortening the ribbon lengths as I got higher.

On one tree I alternated colors every row, and on the other I alternated each piece.

I finished the top with a bit more ribbon wrapped around the tip.

Now I have two beautiful trees that go perfectly with my new décor!

Company Christmas Party–Décor {Event Styling}

5 · Dec 14, 2010 · 11 Comments

On December 4th, WhipperBerry had the pleasure of coordinating a company party for a business client. We stylized the event, as well as provided a full dessert table. But one thing at a time! Today we will focus on the décor, and we will bring you the dessert table tomorrow, so stay tuned!

We were given an empty office space to fill and decorate.

Heather designed this beautiful paper-chain chandelier with actual book pages.

The vintage look of the old text print – coupled with the wooden snowflake ornaments – brought a classic feel to the bright colors used in the more modern commercial holiday decor paper fan arrangements on the walls, and room decorations, resulting in a retro feel through-out.

The large paper fan spanned over six feet in diameter. In the corner we set up a custom made 10 x 13 ft. projector screen, and projected a movie for the kids.

For dinner we did something really fun! Heather enlisted the help of the famous (in Vegas, anyway) Slidin’ Thru gourmet food truck! They parked outside and provided their wonderful sliders and fries! Visit their website here.

Come back tomorrow to see the gorgeous dessert table!

And don’t forget to link your Christmas gift projects up to our 12 Days of Christmas Show-Off linky party! We will feature our favorites this Friday, so get your submissions in.
