Sevva Hong Kong

Look at this beautiful cake store in Hong Kong!  Only in Hong Kong can you find a dessert store so over the top in decor and design.  I am off to Hong Kong this week and have been doing a bit of research into spots I want to visit and this is one is high up on the list.

The shop that caught my attention is called Ms. B’s Sweets and it is part of Sevva (pronounced Savour)  the 13,000 sq ft space restaurant/club, located on the 25-floor penthouse of the Prince Building in Central in Hong Kong.  Sevva is divided into four areas including the  Bank Side, Harbour Side, Taste Bar and the Terrace and Ms. B is part of the complex.   

The picture below is the home of Ms. B’s Sweets where confections are decoratively displayed in glass display cases.  The most stunning part of the store is the huge chandelier, originally designed for the British embassy in Rome in the 1950s illuminates the chamber.

Ms. B’s owner, and the creator of Sevva, is  Bonnie Gokson.   If you are not familiar with this name, look her up.  Her CV boasts a long line of successful creative endeavours in the fashion and luxury goods industry including a stint as Chanel Asia Pacific’s former communications director which has certainly helped Sevva gain lots of attention not to mention her sister is Hong Kong fashion guru Joyce Ma, who brought European style to Asia when she founded the upmarket Joyce Boutiques in the 1970s.

This is an interesting  piece of interior design for a concept store called Supermarket in Yugoslavia from Serbian based design studio reMiks.  The concept store event has a mani/pedi spot among its fashion, florals and other gadgets being sold.

 I found the pictures on Plastolux, my go to site for international interior design and furniture ideas.  For more shots and a breakdown of the design, you can check out design blog, Hello Design Hungary here.

Teacup Invitations

This photo from a recent brial shower has been all the rage today (from what I can see).

The talented stationery designer Mimi Woo, behind Mika 78, hosted a bridal shower for a close friend only to demonstrate how creative and fantastic she is as a designer.   After this tea, who knows, maybe Mimi will have to add “slash event designer” behind her name!  The caligraphy was done by Papertastebuds

What caught my eye from her event are the invitations she made out of old tea cups and a gold marker.  These tea cups are such a creative and beautiful way to make people feel special at a bridal tea.  There are more pictures from the bridal shower event on 100 layer cake that you can see here.

The Wedding Cake Shoppe

Toronto’s only wedding cake shop, according to the website, looks like it has potential. Potential is an understatement if you see how talented the two girls are behind the Wedding Cake Shoppe which opened in the Spring of 2009.

Stacked with credentials (George Brown, Bonnie Gordon), full of imagination and backed by talent, sisters Cindy and Sarah Coelho are fabulous wedding cake designers in the city.

 It was my mother who alerted me to this company when she went for dinner at a restaurant in the College and Ossington street area last week. She ran right home to tell me that she passed the most beautiful storefront that caught her attention and when she took a closer look figured out it was a topic right up my alley to blog about.  I can’t wait to pay them a visit in the next two weeks to try the goods for myself.  Best of luck in the city girls with your new venture.
