Bug Party

I hosted a Bug themed party the other day.
It was so cool.

We created and drew our own bugs and named them.

Fred was a person favorite of mine.

 We made woodland bugs from nature collected treasures.

 

Then they were painted and glittered up.

                                            Don't ever be fooled, glitter isn't just for girls.

 We traced, cut out and decorated dragonflies.

 Had a really good look at an array of bugs I had collected throughout the summer for just such a theme.

 There was a bench filled with crafting supplies so everyone could create an insect.

 Some even flew.

 We made creepy bug eyed spider finger puppets.

 And spoon beetles.

The came the snacks.

 And the cupcakes!!

 Then the gifts.

It was such a pleasure doing this party.
One main thing I love about this business is all the amazing people I get to meet.

Birthday Day in Disneyland

Miss K turned officially turned 10 while in Anaheim.
The bus driver got wind on that and had the entire hotel bus sing to her.
She was both happy and embarrassed.

We found a pretty little eatery and had brunch and cake there.
She was so happy and loving it up.

So this is what a 10 year old looks like.
She's adjusting quite fine to the double digits.
Its me thats finding it hard!!

Birthday Cake

My dear friend had a birthday last month and I made this sweet little orange cream cake.
It was my first attempt at ombre fondant and it worked quite well.
K wants her cake this way this year.

Ladybug Cake

Buttercream icing.

Moist cakes.

Decorate.

Happy Birthday!!!

Little niece turned two!!

Grabbed a fondant lady bug.

Tasted it.

Second thought...not so yummy.

Put it back.

No-one  will ever notice.

Raw Blueberry Cheesecake

An almond and date crust, topped with blueberries, then smothered in a blueberry cashew cream.
A few sprinkles of nibs and gogi berries, make this a lovely treat for any time of day.

A pan of small cupcake single servings for a birthday party and a large one for us to have on hand.
They keep so well in the freezer, i just grab a piece whenever I want.

E turns 7

 Our littlest angel turned 7 yesterday.
I am a bit on shock.

 Where did that just go?

 E wanted a Pixie party.
We made a cake according to her specific desires!!
We made purses for all the goodies.

 We made tutus.

 And K made special wands, each with a magical power.

 We decorated and the sun was out.
It was a perfect Pixie party indeed.

 Our precious Birthday Pixie!!

 Giggles and Gifts!!

 But someone really wanted in on the action!!

 Games and fun.

 AND THEN THE CAKE!
