A marshmallow topiary allowed me to add more pink and a simple, yet lovely way...

Cupcakes with princess themed wrappers add another touch of pink...

Each princess had her own teacup which made the perfect favor when filled with a cupcake at the end of the party. Tea pot cookies were ready with frosting and sprinkles for each princess to adorn.
And, lastly, a sparkly flowered chandelier finished the room...


Thanks for looking!

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice...

...is what little girls are made of! For those of you who know me, it is no secret that I love all things girly, frilly and pink...so when my daughter requested a princess tea party for her 5th birthday, I was definitely on board. Part 1 will include the overall pictures of the party and Part 2 will include all of the details in how it came together.

Airplane Birthday

So as I get back to blogging, my goal is to share some useful cake tips, party ideas and cake troubleshooting!

I thought I would start with my son's 2nd birthday. My little man is obsessed with airplanes, so with that theme, and a cake airplane in mind, the party ideas took off ;)! With inspiration from Amy Atlas, I was able to figure out how to suspend the cake in mid-air!

A cake table with the airplane cake was the main attraction. Large paper lanterns are an inexpensive and whimsical way to frame the cake table.



The plane...


Simple touches like airplane jello jigglers, airplane cutout sugar cookies, and a dash of blue food coloring to ordinary rice krispies, added to the theme in a simply fun way.



Happy Birthday, to my favorite little man!

back to blogging???

So, when I started this whole blogging thing, I promised myself I would not be a blogger whose posts would be about apologizing about not blogging...and here I am doing just that. I did want to start blogging again, since I have been working on so many fun things! So, here I am am...I have some dessert tables to share with you, hopefully some tips and advice, and of course, lots of cakes. Stay tuned and I promise (hope!) to be a better blogger in 2011!
