cupcakeMAG: Home Edition with Anders Ruff Custom Designs! (something free is included!)

Thanksgiving is now behind us and everyone around has their mind on the fabulous holiday season! Since the entertaining season is in full-swing we were eager to share with you Anders Ruff Custom Designs -- they are all about custom printable invitations and coordinating graphic party accessories! 


We just had to share the latest "Winter Wonderland" Design Collection with you. Everything in their printable Winter Wonderland Collection was used to personalize and accessorize this dessert table that is well, simply fabulous! 



This printable collection could appeal to anyone celebrating Christmas or Hanukkah.  A focus on silvers, blues and whites makes this table feel both elegant, festive and light.  With silver being a very popular tone at this time of year, this collection is both versatile and something that will be in style for years to come.




Here is all the info on everything about their latest collection from Maureen Anders and Adria Ruff, founders and designers for Anders Ruff Custom Designs! 
Accessories/Decor:



- Our backdrop is a white on white striped fabric with silver woven threads which we adorned with mica glittered snowflake ornaments.  We used silver stripe wrapping paper to cover the walls to the left and right of the table to add interest.
- The focal point of the table is a glittered pine cone tree, to give off the look of a fresh snowfall.
- We used various silver wrapped gifts to height to the desserts at the back of the table.  
- Smaller gift boxes that were layered with patterned paper and silver sparkly ribbon sat in front of each of the “height” boxes.  We wanted the table to feel like it was full of gifts, while displaying the desserts in a clean and classy manner.
- Silver serving platters with rhinestone edge detail were lined with our patterned papers to bring in the blue tones from the collection.
- The back row of the dessert table held square dishes with “ric rac” edging.
- Wine bottles bottles wrapped with our printed favor tag/label were embellished with silver cording and logos from our collection. 
- Miniature chocolate bars were wrapped in our printable mini candy bar wrappers.
- Modern glass VOSS bottled waters were decorated with festive printable wraps.  (We loved the silver lid to those bottles!)
- We printed a “Let It Snow” banner and wove through silver ribbon and pale blue ric rac.
- We also show a photograph of the table with a unique favor or gift item from Persona Gift Pail.



Food & Desserts
- Snowflake Sugar cookies from Allyson Jane and Scrumptious Swirls were placed on silver and rhinestone serving platters lined with printed patterned papers.



- Sugar Crystal frosted donuts from Dough A Deer were stacked and printed flags were placed in the center of each stack.
- Cream Cheese Cupcakes were adorned with beautiful Sugar and Wafer Paper Snowflakes from Sweet Petal Bakery.
- We make white chocolate covered pretzel wreaths and then drizzled them with white chocolate going zig zag to give more of the “snow” affect. (This is a DIY project)
- We made light blue white chocolate snowflakes to place on top of cupcakes as well. (This is a DIY Project)
- Non Perils, Snowflake Lollipops, Wrapped Mini Chocolate Bars and Lindt (light blue/silver wrapped) truffles were served.



About The Graphic Design Collection
This is a printable design collection that will offer any host or baker the ability to personalize items used and presented at a winter or holiday party.  Several light blue tones are incorporated throughout the collection, making it easy to coordinate with any blue, white or silver party ware that a hostess might be using.
