It’s obviously a big trend right now. I’ve posted about suspended candles, string gardens and now upside down plants. It seems that placing things on tables or the floor are so 2009. I’d love to know from you event planners whether this trend is a love it or a hate it.

Well, if you happened to love it, you can find these gems at the mudpuppy shop on Etsy.

The idea behind UK-based Cocktail Box is simple and unique. Order a cocktail online and a bartender will make it fresh for you, using high quality ingredients, and a fridge-friendly cocktail box will be shipped directly to your door. Holding a large party? Order their catering pack and get 20 servings of your favorite pre-mixed cocktail.

So what do you think?

What you’re looking at folks are Charles & Marie’s chair socks. Jaime, from It’s a Jaime Thing, thinks that these could be used as an alternative to chair covers. Slip them over the bare legs of your chairs to transform them. So what say you? Love ‘em or hate ‘em. Poll below…

I came across this brilliantly hued dessert on the Luxirare blog…which is a must-bookmark site on extreme fashion & cuisine. What is it, you say? Why it’s chilled citrus consomme with blue curacao poached baby pear. The photo was scanned from The Colors of Dessert published by Battman studios, 2008. Photographs by Alan Batt.

So, the question is:

German Food Cooperative, The Deli Garage, has smashed two worlds together – tagging and food presentation. Now, with a spritz of their Esslack Food Spray you can transform foods into metallic works of art. Available in silver and gold edible food coloring spray, the question of the day is: Do you love it or hate it?

It’s that time again! Time to weigh in on our Love It or Hate It game. These gorgeous emu eggs were served up at The Hollywood Roosevelt’s Library Bar by famed bar tender and creator of culinary cocktails, Matthew Biancaniello. To use them as cocktail vessels, Matthew had to file down the rims, coat them and add a mouthpiece for sipping.

I haven’t done this in a while, but this one was too good to pass up. This totally unique cake from Momofuku Milk Bar in New York is an attention-getter. What say you – head turner or head scratcher?
