First Birthday Party Prep

I absolutely love little details when party planning! Right now I am trying to come up with just the right party favor for my baby girls first birthday. Searching all the party sites and blogs it seems as the themed parties are not the cool thing to do but how can you resist the cutest little girl on Sesame Street? That's right we are having an Abby Cadabby first birthday!

So far this is what I have made:
The Birthday Girls Party Outfit and shoes






I have also practiced making the cake topper out of gumpaste and fondant


I've also started on the birthday banner and elmo cupcake toppers. So much to do and so little time!

Back to School Shopping

Why is this such a daunting task? I am ready to have my oldest 2 back in school but I just can't bring myself to get them prepared. I carry around the school supply lists in my purse yet I find myself walking right by the school supplies. What is wrong with me? Am I the only one that feels this way? In the end I know I am not going to send them without the proper supplies, new clothes and shoes so I am not too worried yet. I have a bit of time to shake this feeling. I just hope it moves on soon.

CAKES!!!!

Here are a few cakes I have made recently.

The cala lillies are edible! I was able to use my Cricut Cake for the first time adding detail to this wedding cake.

My niece had a Luau Birthday, learned that gumpaste is VERY flammable, LOL!

I absolutely love how this turned out! It is 100% edible! The Minnie is made from Rice Krispy Treats, modeling chocolate and fondant.

My nephew has a passion for skateboarding so it was no surprise it would be his party theme.

A special litel guy was turning one and I got to make his cake as well as his smash cake!



My daughters best friend and her sister had a combined birthday party. There is a few things I would do differently next time but over all it was a cute cake.

I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them!

Wow, It's been awhile!

I really do enjoy blogging when I get the chance, but WOW it's been 2 months since my last post, eek!

What have I been up to? Well me kids have been keeping me busy and I have been struggling trying to keep them busy.

I have made lots of cakes since June, I'll share some pictures later.

I am currently planning my daughter's first birthday. I can't believe a year has come and gone! I am also in the early stages of planning my son's 3rd and 5th birthday's. This time of year gets my head spinning, but I LOVE party planning!
