Tea Party Cake

This cake was for a little girl’s 5th birthday. She had the most adorable tea party themed party EVER! I was thrilled to be able to make the cake for such a fun event. One of the mom’s that took her daughter to the party commented to me that it was decorated nicer than her wedding. Mine too!

They wanted a very simple cake, covered in pink fondant with white accents, and they wanted a flower on it. This is how it turned out. I love the simplicity of the whole thing and I like the way the flower turned out too.

Kennady’s cake

For months, the kid insisted she wanted a Tigger and Pooh cake. But, when we went to buy party supplies all the Tigger and Pooh stuff was for 1st birthdays. I had to explain that she was a big girl now and needed to pick something different so she opted for the Littlest Pet Shop theme. I was thrilled because I really didn’t want to do a Tigger and Pooh cake and the Littlest Pet Shop stuff all had big polka dots as a background. So, for the cake, I just cut a bunch of big polka dots out of fondant and bought a few Littlest Pet Shop pets to use as toppers. So quick and easy and she loved it.

3rd Birthday Shirts

My baby turns 3 tomorrow so I made her a couple of shirts for the occasion.

For the first one, I just cut out the scooter freehand and used a zig-zag stitch to applique it to the shirt. Then I took some coordinating birdie fabric and added a little ruffle to the bottom.
 


For her second shirt, I used my Cricut to cut out the circle, the letters, and the number. She is going to wear this one for her little party and she is so excited about it. I had a hard time convincing her to take it off after taking the picture so we could keep it clean for tomorrow.

Baby gifts

I finally got around to making a matching onesie and burp cloth to go with this baby blanket that I made a couple of weeks ago. I’m really loving the bright colors.

Zeik’s cake

My nephew turned 9 on Valentine's Day, but since my sister and her family were coming to visit this weekend, they decided to celebrate it with a little family party at my parents’ house yesterday. My nephew wanted a motorcycle cake. Since I knew my abilities would not allow me to make a motorcycle out of cake and actually have it look good, I went the cheater route and bought a motorcycle toy as a topper. For the cake, I did a desert scene because where he lives and rides his motorcycle is in the middle of a desert in the middle of nowhere.

Happy Birthday Zeik!

Happy Valentines!

Hope your day has been as sweet as ours!

Fun Baby Blanket

After last year’s baby boom of boys, I was excited to hear that a couple of ladies I know are going to be having girls this spring/early summer so I got a jump start on some baby gifts. I know the fabrics aren’t  in your traditional baby girl colors, but I think they are really cheery. Hopefully the flowers girly it up enough
I am going to do something matching to go with when I figure out what it is I want to make so stay tuned.
