Green and Gold Saint Patrick's Day Tablescape 🍀

Green and Gold Saint Patrick's Day Tablescape 🍀

Saint Patrick's Day is next week, and I could not pass up the opportunity to style a gorgeous green and gold tablescape for the occasion! Table-setting is one of my favorite pastimes, and I've been obsessed with it since I can remember...even prior to having a blog! And since I didn't get to style a Saint Paddy's Day table last year, this year I went for it with a green and gold color palette that's so chic, so sparkly and oh-so pretty!

Saint Patrick's Day is coming up, so I thought I'd make a delicious and pretty dessert befitting the occasion, hence this chocolate layer cake with a delicious Baileys condensed milk frosting ! This layer cake recipe is an adaptation of this  chocolate cupcake with Baileys frosting that I shared here on the blog a few years ago. But this time around, I wanted to try my hand at Russian buttercream or sweet condensed milk frosting that I recently came across on YouTube !

If you happen to have seen my last cookie cake recipe , you know how much I love making (and eating...) them! Cookie cakes have become my go-to dessert "centerpiece" for any festive occasion. Mainly due to their easy-to-make nature and the amount of fun they bring to any party table! Don't get me wrong, I love cake. But cookie cakes combine the best of the cookie AND cake world in one simple recipe! Hence my current obsession.

Saint Patrick's day is in three days, and if you're looking for quick and easy table decor ideas or last minute decorations, than this post is for you! 😉 Did you see the pretty rainbow balloon arch we shared last week? Well, this DIY is a spin off, since we used the same technique to make a garland that you can use to decorate walls or as a table runner!

Wearing green on St Patrick's Day  not only ensures you won't get pinched, but it's also meant to bring good luck.  But, I do not fancy looking like I took fashion lessons from a leprechaun... Nothing wrong with how they dress per say (if any leprechauns are reading this...), but after the age of 18 it gets a little harder to rock the  stripy socks and green wig look  ;)

St. Patrick's Day is 'round the corner, and what better appetizer than a creamy houmous, to soak up the lashings of Guinness ?!  This is a favorite dip in our house, and makes a welcome appearance on many cocktail parties because it's super easy and quick to make, quite healthy, you can make it a day in advance, and tastes DIVINE!  My husband has been know to "drink" the stuff. Neat! So I always make sure I make plenty. And I have a little secret for making it super creamy too!
