Still All Ears for You, Minnie

Minnie must be making a come-back (or perhaps she's never been out of style!) because I still get requests for her in all her frosted glory. I heart Minnie Mouse.

Cake of the Week: 1st Birthday Butterfly

Image
Here is an example of how I very often am asked to turn a party theme into a cake: This cake was based on a Girl's 1st Birthday party theme, Hugs & Stitches, and matched the invitations, napkins, notes cards, plates, etc. The Mom wanted the cake to be butterfly-shaped, and although the butterfly on the design is blue, she specifically requested pink. No problem! Little Sophia also had a matching "smash" cake in the shape of the #1! It's such a pleasure to be a part of a little girl's very first birthday celebration!

Trend Spotting: Russian Folk Art

Russian Matryoshka Dolls (photo from Google Images) Oops, I was just TOO tired to blog yesterday! But I'm back with a continuation of my previous blog about Trends in design in 2009. I said I would post pics that corresponded to the trends, and this is an item I actually found before I read the article! How cute are these Russian Matryoshka Dolls? I've seen several instances of the cute nesting dolls making their way into our homes by way of dishes, DIY craft kits, pillows, etc. But these ceramic Matryoshka Doll measuring cups really take the cake, in my opinion. They're actually useful, for one thing, and they certainly reflect the growing trend of Russian patterns and art. I spotted them in the Anthropologie catalog, which I always love for their unique items. Although I don't sell these (and I wish I did), I don't mind sharing with everyone that you will soon see these in my kitchen!

31 Days of Tricks & Treats: Thinking Outside the Cupcake Box

Image
I stumbled upon these adorable cupcake boxes this week; how have I never seen these before?! I make cakes and cupcakes for a living! These are truly some of the cutest cupcake boxes I've come across, and I've seen many. They're sized for cupcakes, but could surely house party favors, candy and anything else you care to put in a 3.25" wide x 3.75" high space. They're available in several different kid-friendly themes, but I am in a nostalgic mood today so my favorites are: Goodnight, Moon Cupcake Boxes!  These. Are. Too. Cute. Wishing I had a tiny kid at my house right now so I can throw a Little Golden Books party!  Again, so adorable. But the designs are not limited to nostalgic themes; I love this Safari kids theme that would be perfect for your animal cupcakes: Safari Friends Cupcake Boxes You can see more of this cuteness--what a TREAT-- at The Party Works' online cake decorating store or visit them through Sweetest...
