Cinderella Cupcake Dress - Celebrating the Big 3!

My daughter will be 3 in less than two days!  We celebrated over the weekend with a Cinderella Party!

I designed her Cinderella Cupcake Dress to match her actual princess dress!

 

For the most part this was pretty simple and inexpensive.  I was able to get the tiara at Target for $1.99.  The beads were simply silver beads from a local craft store that cost less than a $1.00.  The candy flowers for the bodice were $6.99 from the craft store and I added some white sprinkles.

 

 

My daughter loved it!  She had an amazing 3rd birthday party.  I will definitely be trying this out again.

My Baby Turns 2!

 

I cannot believe my baby is now officially two!  She is such a blessing to our family and the time as gone way too fast.  We had a Minnie Mouse birthday party for her.

 

I made the cake and this was my first time working with fondant.  I was quite pleased how it turned out, I will definitely try it again. 

 

 

Happy 2nd Birthday to my sweet, lovable baby girl!

A Donkey Kong Cake

 

For my son's 7th birthday, we did a Donkey Kong cake!  I had to go to a special candy store to get the candy bananas.  To make the sides look like a barrell, I used Kit Kats.  Top it off with Donkey Kong!

A Spiderman Cake

 

For my son's 4th birthday we celebrated with a Spiderman cake!

All Aboard...For a Birthday Celebration!

Today is my baby's 2nd birthday, so I guess that makes him officially a toddler!  He and his brother are obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine, so today we are having a Thomas themed party. 

I made my own cake this year with this delicious recipe for butter cream icing,  This is quickly becoming a family favorite and who knew it was so easy!  You'll need:

2 sticks of unsalted butter softened
3 cups of powdered sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
2 tbsp milk

Beat the butter until creamy.  Add other ingredients and beat until a nice consistency is formed.  Simple and easy and tastes amazing!

Birthday Cake Round Up

So today is my son's 4th Birthday Party. He requested a "pink" cake. So I gave in and made a strawberry cake with white icing. We also made chocolate Mickey Mouse heads and put them on the cake along with sprinkles! I am entering my cake over at the Birthday Cake Round Up on LifeasMom to win a set of Wilton UltraGold Bakeware. Wish me luck!!
