This was one of the cakes I made last week!

Another busy week of baking and decorating!

As usual i enjoyed myself!

It is for my friends daughter, and she turned 3!

Can you guess what she loves?

Barney...

This is barney on the cake!

It was inspired by this cake:

by Crafty Confections

Here is the birthday girl(on the left) enjoying the party with  a friend!

Alongside her is her barney pinata(which was saved, as the Mom felt to sorry to bash it to bits)

 

And here is the cake together with some cucpakes( i sent over a cupcake topper file)

and i am so glad the Mommy used it to decorate the cupcakes!

Have a great big hug from me!

And enjoy your day!

Delia's Little Mermaid Party

My little niece turned 4 two weeks ago!

And for weeks before the party, every time i saw her she told me that she was

having a little mermaid party!

So her Mom and I sat down and started planning!

First we knew there had to be a little mermaid cake and we

looked at thousands of little mermaid cakes for ideas!

After that i put my cake decorating skills to work and was very pleased with the result!

The cake consisted of two tiers, top tier a yummy carrot cake, bottom tier a hazelnut mocha brownie cake!

There were also cupcakes!

The inspiration for the cucpakes came from

Glorious treats flickr stream: little mermaid cupcakes

Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream ganache!

All the toppers were edible, also the character ones, i used edible paper on top of fondant.

As for all the other things, it took me a week to find most of them.

The party boxes, hats, cups and plates were all bought and modified a bit by me!

Using little mermaid stickers...

The banner and cupcake collars were all made by me to match the party decor!

I can tell you this, allthough it was a lot of work, it was soooooo much fun!

I get super excited about parties and cakes and all things pretty!

I am sure there is something wrong with me!

Take a look at all the prettiness of this party!

The photographer of the day!

There were so many details!

Can you spot the sea weed and bubbles(chinese lanterns) hanging from the ceiling?

The friends! What is a party without some happy friends to share it with?

I hope you enjoyed the pictures with me!

February Cupcake Calendar

Tommorow is the 1st of February already!

Can you believe it?

I decorated some cupcakes last weekend..

Why? Because i was bored and I wanted to

try these colours together...

This was the result:

  Initialy I didn't know what I wanted to do

so i just did anything I felt like!

It's really good for the creative side to just

go crazy sometimes!

And after I decorated I thought, these

would look pretty on a calendar...

And then i made this:

Its sitting on my fridge as i am typing...

Barbie Mermaidia...

This is another "catching up" cake...

I made it back in November for a little girls

3rd birthday party.

The theme was Barbie Mermaidia...

I got to meet her as well, and when she saw the cake, she was so

excited!

Here are some more pictures of

the cake:

I think my favourite part of this cake

was the waves!

☺☺ ☺

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Lots of love
