Rainbow birthday party fun!

This order was for a little girls rainbow birthday party and she had one request. The birthday girl wanted pink in her rainbow. I said well of course! And so I rain with it in the cookies, cupcakes and cakepops! This was such a fun and bright order! I just loved everything about it! Happy birthday little LJ!!

Roller Skate Birthday

This order was lots of fun to work on. I just love the coordinating colors as this was for a birthday for a boy and girl set of twins! I ended up hand cutting out the cookies because I had such a hard time finding a cookie cutter for the skate. Who knew it would be so hard to find a skate cookie cutter?!! Enjoy!

Triplett Baby Shower

This weekend I threw a baby shower for our sweet friend Ashley and her husband David who are anticipating tripletts! Thats right three babies all at once! The design was a birds nest with three little eggs and the momma bird watching over them. The color palatte was a light pink, tiffany blue and chocolate brown. Everything came together so nicely and the shower went off without a hitch! I even attmepted a cupcake tree which stayed intact through the entire shower!  The babies are due in a few short months and we can't wait to meet them! Congratulations to Ashley and David!

Firetruck Party Extravaganza!

This Sunday we celebrated our little boys turning 5 and 3 years old with a big Firetruck celebration! I designed an entire sweets table just for them and 23 of there best friends! We started the party off with a trip to our local firestation for a tour and then headed back to our house for lunch and treats! Lots of fun was had by all and many wonderful memories were made! Everything from the party was DIY by yours truly! Even the cake which I made and then decorated with sugar cookies. Enjoy!!!

Each child had a thank you dalmation cookie bone in their goodie bags!

This is the sweets table I put together. Lots of goodies made by yours truly!

My first experience into cake making and decorating! I used sugar cookies for the decorations.

Nautical baby shower

Well hello there! Lots of post all at once for this busy mom of two! Gotta do it when I get a minute of peace! As you can see by the gaps in my posting there are not too many of those moments! This week I  worked on a nautical themed baby shower for a little boy due in August. I made chocolate fudge cake pops and sailboat cookies for favors. Enjoy!

Bumble Bee Baby Shower

This weekend my friend Jessica and I hosted a baby shower for our friend Roxann and her soon to be little baby boy Connor! We choose a bumble bee theme and ran with it. I made lemon chiffon cupcakes and bumble bee cookies for this shower. Fun was had by all and lots of love sent to baby Connor! Enjoy!
