'Sweet Little Girls' Birthday Cake

This 'sweet little girls' cake was made over the weekend for a 3rd birthday party in Warwick. 

 

All of the decorations I hand made from fondant icing so everything was edible including the glitter on the butterflies.

These little flowers were made with a small star cookie cutter, with the little girls I made thier bodies first and then attached the arms and legs and put the head and hair on last.

The faces were kept very simple with a small dot of black food colouring for the eyes and a little pink petal dust for the rouge on the cheeks.

I really liked this little foot up in the air :)  Inside this one was butter cake with vanilla icing.

Happy Birthday Haylee!

'Out of the box' Baby Shower Cake

This cake was my favourite for the week, a little bit different and no pink or blue in sight by request. I was sent this picture to use as inspiration.

This funny little bald head peeking out of the icing blanket, I dusted the cheeks and hands with rose coloured petal dust....

topped off with a stripey lid and polka dot fondant bow.

This cake was off to Brisbane to shower some happiness...

Inside...chocolate, mmm delicious chocolate :)

Thanks Bronwyn and Caitlin for choosing such a fun design!

Stacked Gift Box Cake {Kiah's 16th Birthday}

This two tiered 'gift box' cake was created over the weekend as a surprise for one lucky sixteen year old!

Inside were double layer chocolate mud cake and a double layer vanilla cream butter cake. The fondant balls around the bottom were so time consuming, each one hand rolled for a more funky sort of finish!

I also made these wired hearts which were to go in the top of the cake, as this one was travelling all the way to Tweed I left them off to be assembled on arrival.

The huge bow on top I made a little bit thicker than usual as I was worried it might crack during transit...

...it all arrived safely and in one piece!

I used pink & white love heart ribbon to trim the board... and I added a birthday message after I took these photos as I was running out of daylight fast and really wanted to snap my usual excessive amount of shots ;)

'Happy 16th Birthday' Kiah!!

 

21st Birthday Cupcake Tower {Samantha}

Over the weekend I created some cupcakes for a 21st birthday celebration in Toowoomba.  These were large butter flavoured cupcakes with generous swirls of vanilla icing.

The personalised banners were hand stamped, cut and shaped from purple fondant.

I also used purple fondant for the little five petel flowers...

and for the numbers, white fondant dipped with silver edible glitter {also called rainbow or disco dust if your looking to buy some} these were so sparkly and pretty!

I also used some more glittery goodness on these purple icing swirls, hard to see in these pictures I know!

Displayed on my four tiered clear perspex stand and hopefully enjoyed by the guest of honour :)

Happy 21st Birthday Samantha!

Happy Easter! {say it with cookies}

This week I have been busy making cookies, lot's and lot's and lot's of cookies!  These ones pictured are chewy gingerbread {my favourite}, I also made vanilla and chocolate sugar cookies.

These carrots were my kids favourites, the cookie cutters I used for these you can find at spotlight {Toowoomba store}.

The bunny's features are done with a black gourmet writer and for the rosy cheeks I brushed on a little bit of pink petal dust.

The eggshells were also dusted with a little bit of pearl lustre dust to make them nice and shiny...

packaged up in individual cello bags, tied with ribbon and...

finished off with a 'happy easter' gift tag and boxed up ready to go, I also made a few extra's for our own easter gifts! 

 I hope you all have a safe and very happy {chocolate filled} easter! 

If you would like some {very last minute!} printable easter tags for free,  let me know... I'd be happy to email you the file for these one's I designed for my cookies.

'Hello Kitty' Party Table {'new' designs in the shop!}

Wow, I can't believe my daughter is eight years old already! Time...you can't buy it and you can't get it back once spent. The weather was so beautiful here on Sunday, I felt so dissapointed for Caitlin that she got sick and couldn't enjoy herself, oh well... better then than now for the school holidays!

Hello Kitty chocolate bar wrappers available HERE, I designed these to fit around those little cadbury animal chocolates {you get them at the grocery shop in a pack of 6} but they would fit around any candy bars around that size.

I made the stand for these giant and fun lollipops out of a piece of styrofoam which I wrapped up with a piece of pink tissue paper...

'Hello Kitty' cutom fancy food labels available HERE 

'Hello Kitty' custom tented cards also available HERE!

Caitlin loves gumballs, of course we had to have some...these come in a 1kg tub at Big W for under$6!

The latest craze in party tables are cute little glass bottles with paper straws, my kids love to drink out of these, I had creaming soda to fill them with but never got the chance to before I snapped these photos.

My 'Hello Kitty' paper range doesn't just come in light pink, you can choose from red, blue or dark pink!

These larger sized custom labels I made for the treat/favour bags but they are also perfect for table centre pieces like this one or other decorations you might be using.

mmm...chocolate, these tasty little treats came from Rolly's Party & Lolly Shop in Grafton Street, Warwick.  They have an awesome range of party goods for almost anything you can think of!  I also got some great lollipops there.

The little fairy wands come in a pack at most dollar stores, these were from crazy clarks for $2 per 8pack {which I actually bought about a year ago... I think they still have them though!} We added a bit of ribbon for extra cuteness:)

Make your own treat bags, I know what your thinking! No...I wasn't too lazy to make the kids a treat bag LOL!  I thought they would have fun making thier own and wouldn't end up with a heap of lollies they don't like. 

So if your looking for some custom paper goodies for your next 'Hello Kitty' party you will find everything you see here and more including invitations and cupcake toppers in my 'madeit' SHOP.

Thanks for looking!

Hello Kitty! {Caitlin's 8th Birthday cake}

Here is the Hello Kitty birthday cake I created for Caitlin's birthday!  She didn't get to have candles or cut her cake until Tuesday {party was supposed to be Sunday!} as she was in bed sick almost all day Sunday. My husband ended up taking most of it to share around at work so at least it got eaten!

All the decorations are edible, made of fondant icing..the hardest part on this cake was making the 'Hello Kitty' face.  I drew the face straight onto a piece of icing freehand with black food colouring

{I use gourmet writers which are just like a felt tip pen only with food colouring instead of ink} and cut out the shape from there. The bow is covered in dark pink edible glitter which in person was super sparkly! I stuck it to a few paddle pop sticks to keep it standing upright and inserted them

straight into the top of the cake.

I was pretty happy that it actually turned out looking like 'Hello Kitty'!

Following this post will be Caitlin's party table featuring some of the 'Hello Kitty' paper range,

Hope you all have a great weekend!
