The talented Amy Atlas


I subscribe to the blog Sweet Designs A blog by Amy Atlas because her work is quite simply beautiful. She is all the way over in New York so we are left to admire from afar!

What I love most about Amy Atlas desert tables:
* Her use of colour. Amy is totally commited to the colour theme and it really is eye candy!
* The simplicity and cleanliness of the overall design. She always has the perfect amount on each table. Don't misunderstand I am not saying that what she has done is easy, in fact, I think she is quite genius. Each piece on the table is crisp and clean and finished but not over powering. She has her wow pieces but she ensures that every piece is not fighting for attention - as a whole they make the most beautiful scene.
* The way in which she uses the one design element across a variety of foods. For example you may see the pattern of a place card used as the basis of the design for the main cake and then a simpler version of the pattern on the cupcakes or cookies.
* The balance of her designs
* Her attention to detail. Whilst each element blends beautifully with the next a close examination will show that every piece has been thoughtfully presented whether it be the choice of plate, the paper pattern or the little labels. Each piece is perfectly finished.
