I adore Sharon Garafolow from Cupcakes & Cutlery in every way. We met back in June 2012 when I prepared a private chef dinner for her family while they were vacationing in Palm Springs and I’ve been a huge fan of hers ever since. We had such a an engaging conversation while I cooked and since have enjoyed her wonderfully creative blog on all things fun and fabulous….full of incredible ideas and inspiration…you have to check it out!

Sharon and 8 of her amazingly creative blogger friends have a creative retreat every year. This year was #campmixalot in Palm Springs and I was asked to create a beautiful dinner for all the gals to experience. Here’s part one of Day 2
