::Little Bird::

I have been feeling very creative since yesterday.
There has been a lot of little bird themed parties in blog land, and i wanted to design my own as well!
So yesterday i googled for a few designs, and then I started drawing one for myself that i liked!

At the end of the day, I had 2 designs i liked.
This one i call swirly bird and i used it on an invitation.


This one is just little bird and i used it on a birth announcement.



Well, I thought, I liked it so much, maybe you would too, so I designed some
party circles:
Some ideas: Cupcake toppers, serviette rings, favour tags and anything else you can come up with!



Then, today, creativity struck again.
I did this:


Ooo, golly! Help!
I think the baby vest is just too adorable, if I must say so myself!

::Little Lady Bug::

I have been going on about lady bugs on my Facebook page for quite some time now!
But it is just so darn cute, i can't help it.
One of my customers wanted a lady bug cake for her babies first birthday.
I was so excited to make it.

After I showed her the other party stuff, she ordered some of those too.
Birthday Banner, Pom poms, and party circles.
I designed the party circles myself, inspired by quite a few other party circles i found around the internet.
There are soooo many cute ideas for party themes with matching handmade party stuff out there, i would love to make them all!

First i want to show you what i had in mind for the table.
With one of my Mock up dessert tables:


Now i don't know if the Mommy did it like this, but if i had to throw a ladybug party, i sure would!

Next up:
The party circles i designed.
The Mom ordered them for the party boxes
I hand cut all of these as i don't have a scalloped punch yet.
I also attached double sided tape to the back to make it easier to attach to the boxes.


Then, I baked and decorated the cake!
and oh boy it was so cute!
Just look at that little face!



I don't have a picture of the banners or pom poms,
but I am hoping to receive some from the Mom!

I also launched 
 Just Baking ::Party Stuff::


and here are the party circles nicely packaged



Hope you enjoyed that!
I am off to go and decorate a cake
and then we are off to my inlaws for a visit!

{DIY Momma} Wild animal birthday party

For a busy Mom, planning a party takes up quite some time.

I met this Mom on Facebook,
{She is also from South Africa}
 she decided to do her daughters birthday party by herself.

She also wanted to make the cupcakes and cake,
but didn't have enough time as a week before the party
her husband had a medical emergency.
But she still managed to pull of an amazing party .



When asked what kind of party she wanted, the birthday girl wanted everything from barney to zebra's.

So Mom decided to make the theme wild animals.




Take a look at some of the party details!

I can't decide which i like best, the cake or the cupcakes...

And last but not least

::Hope you had an awesome 3rd birthday Layla::


Her outfit matched the party~ such a sweet touch!

Well, I think this was a party well done.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Thanks to the Mom for sharing all her sweet party details!

::Happy Fathers Day:: Cupcakes

This a very late Happy Fathers Day post.

Last weekend we helped our family move into a new house.
Well, they moved, i looked after the kiddies.

And this week have been a bit busy,
so I haven't gotten around to the internet and blogging that much
Plus, we are going away on holiday for a while, but
after I get back from holiday I have quite a
few cakes and cupcake orders to do,
so be on the lookout for that.

This post is about some Fathers Day cupcakes
(not mine)

Remember this?:


I designed this for Fathers Day

Well, one of my sweet readers on Facebook
used them on her cupcakes for Fathers Day.

Just look at this!
I think it is ::Super Cute::


I love how she incorporated the design into the other cupcakes too, with the swirls and dots.

 ::I Love it {Claudia}::



We took my dad for lunch on Fathers Day at Monte Casino.

What did you do?

::Dessert Table:: Pink {and} Purple

I had an awfull cold for the past two weeks.
So that means I have been very unproductive.
I managed to do a few cupcakes for my hubbies 30th birthday, but the
pictures came out very bad, still deciding if I should post those.

I did however do a mini dessert table for a friends daughters birthday today.
I bought all the edibles, as I didn't have time to bake anything.
I made the banners and paper pom poms and most of the things on the table is from
previous parties I have done.

I bought the cups for next to nothing at a party store.
I used pink ribbon in glass vases turned upside down to add some colour
to the stands.



Hope you enjoyed that a little bit... i sure did!

The Ben10 and Barney was edible prints.
The hummer was 3D, and took quite some time to finish.

I hope
Dylan, Kelsy and Reece had a wonderful birthday!

 I am off to bed, i have a cold and need to get better fast.
My hubbies birthday is on Thursday and i need to get some baking done...

::Blue Cupcakes::

It was one of our church members birthday today.
His wife asked if I could do some cupcakes for  after the service, when we usually have tea and coffee.
All she asked is that the colour should be blue and there should be a 55 on...

She brought all the other edibles
and i laid out the table.
