Spring Flower Fondant Cake

After the pirate ship masterpiece, we didn't have much time to practice with the fondant cake.  It thankfully came out looking ok and we now know how to use fondant!

If we hadn't been 2.5 hours in and had 9 children frantically begging for cake at this point, :) I think we would have changed up the colors a bit on the flowers, but otherwise it turned out great!

Pirate Ship Cake

What do you get when you combine 4 stay-at-home mom's, 9 kids, and a weekly play date?! The coolest 3-D pirate ship cake ever!

I'm not sure if there is an original source on the idea- I'm sure there is somewhere, but these are all over the web.  It was pure chaos but the cake turned out awesome! I feel invincible now.  Micah is going to get the coolest 3-D train cake this year!  I'm so glad we all came together and "practiced" it eased so many fears.  I can only imagine what excitement would have come from my BIL with this kind of cake. 








Not only did we "practice" making the pirate ship cake, but we practiced with some Fondant as well.  I'll share that one tomorrow! :)

Sweetheart 1st Birthday Party

My niece turned one recently and my sister put together a cute little sweetheart themed party for her, which if you ask me is so appropriate- she is a total sweetheart! 

My sister was kind enough to let me in on helping with some of the crafting goodness. :) And I'll apologize now, I was having serious issues with the settings on my camera that day! I did the best with what I had from the day. So here they are. 

See the great photo accordion?! It was a sweet little gift Charlene of C. Hardy Photograpy put together for both my sister and I for allowing her to use baby Rylee as a model.  Totally generous, the shots of Rylee were absolutely PRECIOUS.  See for yourself here.  

The cupcakes were made with a butter cream frosting piped through a fancy zip-loc :), pink sprinkles, and chocolate heart candies made with candy melts and a mold.


Some of the goods, including my favorite... the vase filled with foam beads, a picture of the birthday girl, and a cute decorative flower and butterfly.  Don't worry there's a better shot of it coming up. :)


See! Isn't the vase adorable!? So simple and cheap yet so cute!  The favors were a simple favor bag filled with small candies and closed with a simple pink heart. 



The table was sprinkled with hearts.  Ultra-cute heart garland made by simply sewing together a ton of cricut cut hearts, heart shaped cheese and fruits, and even the crackers were arranged in a heart. :)

Simple paper heart garland, which I learned the hard way- sew the hearts together closer to the top of the heart or they will hang upside down. :(

 


She stole my ikea frame purchase and put in one of Rylee's birthday pictures, but don't worry I stole it back and filled it with the sunshine print... I show ya soon!

And one more table shot for ya!

Simple and fun, that's what we do best. :)  Now I'm off to mend myself and children from this 3+ week bout of colds! Stay healthy out there, it's been brutal!

New look!

Have you seen our new look?! It's great I'm in LOVE with it! It's all thanks to the ultra-talented Lindi from Love the Day, who on a side note is even a greater person than her parties- and they're beyond great!  I absolutely love her sunshine party, so happy and bright, I can't help but smile while looking at it!


 I could go on and on about Lindi AND all she does, but I'll save you some time and go take a look for yourself.  You can visit her blog here or etsy shop here. You won't be disappointed!

But before you go grab my fancy new button and enjoy! :)

Table Runners... For Sale!!

I made these table runners last year for my sisters wedding with a Michael Miller Damask print.  They are cotton and measure approximately 13"x83" Since I have no need for 16 adorable table runners :) I have decided to sell them.  I will be selling them individually for $10+shipping or $125+shipping for all 16. (That's a $35 savings for anyone like me who doesn't want to do the math!) I am also willing to sell them in different quanties at a discounted price.  My mom just wants them out of her house! :)

If you are interested, please email me at staceymae81[@]gmail.com 

Thanks!

Penguin Cupcakes

While home visiting the last couple weeks my mom, sister, and I whipped up these cuties for my niece's 1st birthday. While they were far from perfect, with the supplies we had on hand and the short amount of time we had to do them we all thought they turned out super cute!

And really Madison could have cared less about how they looked she devoured those puppies!

And check out these adorable blue beauties, red hair and blue eyes... with an attitude to match this girl is gonna be trouble... watch out mom and dad :)
Our inspiration came from here, but check out these cuties here, or this huge cupcake display here, or this collection here, or these way-too-perfect cupcakes here. And if these aren't enough for you just use google image search for penguin cupcakes and you'll find cupcakes that'll make your jaw drop!
