Cub Cupcakes!

Here are some Olney Cub cupcakes I made for a Fall Carnival Silent Auction for our elementary school. I made black and red swirled white buttercream frosting topped with a hand decorated fondant circle!

A Peacock Wedding Candy Buffet

I had the opportunity to assist in the planning of a beautiful Peacock themed wedding in September.  I was asked to do the Candy Buffet for the guests at the reception.  I had the most fun finding candy to coordinate with her wedding colors!  I also made a pennant banner that said "Love is Sweet" to place on the front of the table.  We also used it at her bridal shower a few weeks earlier! 

I hand-stamped each candy bag to be filled with all the yummy candy!  I think the candied popcorn was the hit of the night! 

Peace, Love & Cake...a cake decorating birthday party

 My daughter is always asking if she can help with decorating cakes...she loves to make things out of fondant so when it came time for her birthday, she decided she wanted a "Cake Decorating Party"!!  These are the handmade invitations that we hand delivered to her friends.  We simply made them out of scrapbooking paper and stickers.

In keeping with the baking theme, the girls each made their own pizza.  Then we baked them to perfection!

These are marshmallow pops made with Campfire marshmallows and melted chocolate.  The Peace Pops were chocolate covered Oreos.

Since they were decoratating cakes, she decided to

forgo the traditional birthday cake and wanted a cookie cake!

 The girls made a huge mess in my kitchen but really had a lot of fun!  I had pre-baked the small cakes and showed them how to roll out fondant and stack their cakes.  I let each girl choose a color of fondant to knead and gave them rollers, cookie cutters and fondant tools!  They were very creative!  I think we have some budding cake decorators here!!

As you can see each girl had decorated their "cake platter" while their pizza baked with Sharpies...a simple favor purchased at the local Dollar General Store.

As each guest came and went, they were greeted with a special custom door sign wishing Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!

It's an Angry Birds Birthday!

 I was asked by one of my sweet friends to make some really fun Angry Birds cupcakes for her son's birthday.  I had so much fun making them and it developed into an incredibly fun and colorful birthday for him. 

I found some really cute printables that I attached to some

colored bouncy balls for a little fun.  When the party was almost over, we peeled off the faces and

threw them in the pool for the kids to play with!

 The angry bird cupcakes were displayed on a cupcake tower.  The tablescape included Angry Pellets (fruit flavored Mike and Ikes), Bird Seed (chocolate covered sunflower seeds), and Bird Food (white chocolate popcorn mixed with m&m's).

I think I had the most fun making the faces of the green pigs!  I always hate to see that grin on their face when the game says "Level Failed"!
