𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐬: 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐌𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐬. I love relishing a good muffin with a decent warm cup of coffee 🙌, especially now that the winter is setting in. My favourite portion of a muffin is the muffin top, that’s why I adore bakery-style muffins. Breaking off that huge, crispy muffin top and taking that first bite is heavenly. As a kid, we all have been guilty of eating only the top portion of the muffins. I still remember how mad my mom used to be 😅 as she thought it was so wasteful. This crispy muffin with a choco-chip overload with a soft and buttery interior is the perfect way to start the morning. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠! Warm and homely was my focus word when styling this chocolaty delight 😍. The muffins were served in a circular aesthetic plate with polka dots. To elevate the composition 👌 and create a feeling that it's ready to be eaten, we used brown napkins. Styling breakfast items can be challenging. The muffin had a beautiful 💯 brown hue to it. However, browns can tend to look dull 😑 on their own. That's why I decided to go ahead with elements that generally would accompany a breakfast. You could find milk, orange juice, honey and eggs 🥚 in the backdrop. This not only added a bit of colour 😇 to the frame but also elevated the composition adding a story to it. It beautifully 😍 captured the essence of a muffin served right from the oven waiting to be relished 😋. Indeed life is better with a cuppa and muffin!

Label of the week MCC Label Aether Vodka When it comes to spirits, presentation is almost as important as taste. Aether Vodka, a rising star in the world of premium liquors, understands this truth.

This ethereal quality is captured through a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The magic of this brand is in the details. The tactile nature of the Ipanema White canvas, gold foil, embossing and debossing invite the touch and give a sense of luxurious craftsmanship. Sleek lines and delicate foil embellishments reflect the purity and smoothness of the vodka inside. Label details: •Producer – Vanguard Luxury Brands •Varietal – Vodka •Region – Melbourne, Australia •Photographer – Mel Cordon •Printing – Digital •Substrate – Ipanema White X-Dry •Embellishments – Gold Foil, Emboss, High Build Screen https://lnkd.in/geU8dqAT
