Zebra and Pink Flower Cake Balls

OK, they aren't exactly ZEBRA, but they do match the invitation pretty well.

I made the flowers separately then added them to the cake balls with a touch of melted chocolate. 

Here's a shot with the invite so you can get the gist of the inspiration.

Smiles!

May share these cake balls with some of the fun parties in the side bar>

Girlie Girl Birthday Cookies

I was tickled pink to make these cookies as the party favors for a sweet little girl's birthday party.  With two boys, it's not all that often that I get to play around with pinks and purples!

"M" is her initial and can you guess how old she is now?!?

 Mom gave me free reign to be creative....these are the most fun for me to make!!!

I think the 6 on the far left is my favorite...

which one is yours?

Smiles!

With probably link these party favors to a party or two in my side bar =>



First Communion Cake Pops

 These sweet cake pops were created for a little girl's First Communion.

The mom chose lavendar and white because they are decorating with hydrangeas.  After the party, they are planting the flowers in honor of this special day.  Isn't that a great idea?

The little tags have a cross in the background with her name and first communion date on top.

Perfect favors for a perfect day!

Blessings to you all!

Smiles!

Her mom was giving the pops as party favors, so I made some tags, too.

All wrapped up!

I think the cake pops matched her party ware pretty well, don't you?

Mall Scavenger Hunt Birthday Party

I was requested to make the cupcakes and party favors (cake pops,) for a 9 year old's birthday party.

She was having a mall scavenger hunt.  Isn't that a great idea!

I just had to share it with you.

Here is the invitation...really cute!

It gives you a lot of the details.

Scavenger Hunt List

And here is the list the mom gave the girls.

They each had a mom with them as they searched for items through the mall.

Of course they had some yummy cupcakes to finish it all off with!

And they went home with some sweet cake pops!

Happy Birthday C!!!  Your mom is awesome!

Birthday Banner

This weekend a friend's husband had a surprise 39 1/2 birthday party for her (he knew she would be expecting one for her 40th, but not for her 39 1/2!)  Two other friends were is charge of coordinating everything, and I was in charge of the cake.  I also offered to make a banner.  I've been wanting to try the paper banners that I've been seeing around blogville.  It takes a little longer than one might think.

I used three different patterns of gray paper.  You can get 3 "triangles" out of each 12 x 12 piece of paper.  My cricut came in very handy for all of the letters and scalloped circles.  I used black & silver glitter papers for the letters, cutting them from the "Storybook" cartridge.  Pink crepe paper was added to the back of the zebra scalloped circles using hot glue.  Hot glue was used again to affix the rosettes to the triangles.  The holes were punched with a 3/4 " hole punch.  The cute ribbon was a find at Hobby Lobby.  The pink crepe rosettes were highlighted with silver and pink glitter...all in all very girly and festive.  Next time I would use a pink scallop circle behind the lettering as the zebra stripes make it difficult to read.

Happy 1/2 Birthday My Friend!!


Don't forget to come back October 3rd thru October 9th for the Pretty Packages Party!
