Here's what's been happening around here lately! Including some pics from the WHITE PARTY we threw last weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday and the Owl themed baby shower that I helped throw for a very special friend.
Heart to Heart cake:
This was made for a prize drawing at my church's ladies retreat. The person who won this prize not only won the cake, but won a future cake of equal value at the time of their choosing. The top is real, the bottom is a styrofoam layer.
Easter Cake Pops and Cupcakes
Thanks to Bakerella for her ever inspiring creativity! I love love love the way the cake pops look when they are done but do not enjoy the process so much. The outcome makes it worth it though:)
Owl Baby shower:
I had the pleasure of helping throw our very close friend a baby shower along with her mother and her sister. When we started throwing around ideas for it, I thought the owl theme would be super cute and would match her personality! After weeks and weeks of planning, it was so exciting to see it all come together! I took care of the dessert table. We had the cake, mini cheesecakes, chocolate rice krispy pops, decorated sugar cookies and tootsie pops. I've included some other pictures of the shower because it turned out so great!
We also had the pleasure of making the cake for the work shower that was held last week! What a cute cake:)
Pink and black rose cake:
Made for a sweet lady's birthday!
Skateboard cake:
This cake was made for a super sweet little boy -- ahem, young man. Skateboard theme - made to match the design of the invitation.
Ruffle cake and White Party
So I turned 30 two weeks ago. And a few months ago I had this crazy idea that we should have a big, fancy party to celebrate that. A white party! (I'd been watching a lot of the OC Housewives at the time). So we bought a big fancy tent and made some cute invitations and I spent months making tissue paper poms and ribbon decorations.
We worked so hard on this party but it seemed like everything was going against us! It was forecasted to rain on the day of the party, I couldn't find THE dress, the wind was not our friend that day and to top it all off, I had food poisoning the day before and wasn't feeling my best. It did turn out to be pretty cute regardless. Here are some photos I snapped, including the dessert table. (white sugar cookies, white chocolate cheesecake cups, coffee truffles and white ruffle cake)
I included a crossword about yours truly in the place setting. Everyone tried to complete it during dinner to see who would correctly finish first. I gave out prizes for that, a guessing game (how many white beans are the jar) and for best dressed.
Walking out onto the patio
That's about it around here! We're gearing up for our baby girl's pre-k graduation next week, I can't believe she's already about to enter kindergarten! Where has the time gone?
