Candy Land Birthday Bash

June 5th was my baby girl's birthday!!! She turned 3 years old and we had a Candy Land party after her favorite board game. I am going to stray a little and talk about the whole party here as I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. We started by ordering some custom invites for the theme with which I failed miserably and had to hand write information on them all. We decorated the entry way with "lollipops" and "candy canes", made a candy cane tree, and had candy to decorate the tables.

For activities were playing on the jungle gym, making candy necklaces, decorating balloons and a live action Candy Land game. The activity that took the least amount of thought (balloons) was the favorite and the live action game was pure chaos. My daughter and two of her friends just ran laps around the "game board" while 2-3 kids actually participated.The two winners received a Candy Land board game (Target sometimes has great deals on these) and the others all received stickers.

Lastly we had a candy bar and cupcakes as dessert/favors. Over all it was a lot of fun and my beautiful birthday girl had a great time with her friends.

Breakfast at Tiffany's bridal shower

The following weekend I was hired to make some Breakfast at Tiffany's themed cupcakes. I haven't worked with red velvet a lot so I had to do some recipe experimenting for a couple weekends and eventually came up with a cake and frosting combo I thought tasted right together. Everything but the square "diamonds" were safe to eat. I was a little nervous about the red cupcake and blue frosting combo but made it work nicely I think

Easter

I found this idea for Easter cupcakes last year and gave them a shot. They were a hit with adults and children

Barnyard Birthday Bash!

For my daughter's 2nd birthday we did a Barnyard theme. She loved making animal noises and playing with farm toys so it fit perfectly. I added a woody figure on top because Toy Story 2 was her favorite movie at the time.

Moons and Stars Baby Shower

This was my first fondant cake, made for my sister in law's moons and stars baby shower. The moon and baby are sculpted from gum paste.
