::Just Baking Party Stuff:: Pink Butterfly

a Few weeks ago a customer contacted me to

create some custom made party stuff for her little butterfly's up

and coming 1st birthday!

She saw my "stuff" on facebook.

So i started designing some butterfly themed

party decor and invitations.

The Mom was going to do the cake and cupcakes and other edibles

herself and wanted a few paper party stuff.

When she saw my cookies she loved them and wanted some of those too!

Here is what i came up with for the butterfly design.

And here is the birthday girl and her Mom.

::Adorable::

 The gorgeous table the creative Mom put together!

She made the cake and cupcakes herself

~ beautiful ~



I think the party looked so sweet!

I hope little Anja had an awesome birthday!

And may there be many more blessed birthdays to come!!!

::DIY Momma:: Beautiful Pink Butterfly

Today I have a super sweet birthday to share!

Elane turned 2 about two weeks ago

and her Mom threw her a beautiful butterfly party!

Her Mom is a DIY Momma, she did everything herself even the cake!

She has a newborn as well, so I must say I take my hat off to her for pulling this off!

All the party detail was professionally photographed by
Sally Seymore Photography,
you can see some more pictures of the party
on her blog!

Here is Elane on her 2nd birthday!

Beautiful isn't she?

Here is the dessert table.

Just look at all those details...

Hope you had an awesome birthday Elane and may there be many more blessed birthdays!

{Sugar coated Order} Festive Dora Cake

The kettle is boiling right at this moment, going to make some coffee

so this will be a short blog post.

Remember the Bulldozer Cake i blogged about last week, well

when the Mom came to fetch the cake, she brought the birthday boy's sister with.

She turned five just 2 weeks later.

I printed out a few examples of Dora cake's I could make, as this is what the Mom mentioned

the birthday girl wanted.

She is a typical girly girl!

She picked the most elaborate one of all the choices.

I only made the cake, as the Mom had Dora cut outs she used as cake toppers!

Here is the festive cake which later turned into a Dora cake!

{Sugar coated order} Bulldozer Cake

 I think I have bloggers block, if something like that exists...

I havent blogged for quite some time, although I have a lot to share!

I was asked by a Mom who saw my cakes at this birthday party

to make a bulldozer cake for her sons 3rd birthday party!

He absolutely adores bulldozers, as his Dad is in construction.

So i gave her examples of bulldozer cakes and she liked this one most.

I  tried to make it as close as possible to the example.

{The cake made is at the end of the post}

I am not sure where i found the picture as the internet is full of cake pictures.

But after I started looking around for cake examples and also party examples.

I was feeling terribly creative, so I made a bulldozer picture.

Then I used the bulldozer picture on an invitation design.

I couldn't stop there so I thought hmmm what else could i do?

So I made a dessert table mock up.

And then to top it all off, i made a bulldozer T-shirt using my bulldozer picture.

I gave this as a gift to the birthday boy!

Then I eventually got to making the cake.

The Mom was extremely happy with the end result

and she ordered a Dora cake for her 5 year old as well.

I already made the Dora cake, will do a post about that soon!

It turned out stunning!

So stay tuned, as i have some exciting news and some more cakes and party

stuff to share!

::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!

The lion invitations

::Adorable::

And last but not least

{The Birthday Girl}

::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!
