'Angry Birds' Birthday Cake

Are you a fan of the 'Angry Birds' games?  Two weeks ago I had no idea what these things were!

That was until my nephew came over playing it on his ipod so I decided I would make him this crazy looking birthday cake for his party over the weekend.

I'm not sure what the red bird is called? I think the unfortunate looking little green thing is called King Pig.  Inside is chocolate mud cake. 

As you may have noticed I am a little behind on my blogging...are you all feeling a bit like me wondering where did February go?? I've been quite busy making sugar flowers for some upcoming wedding cakes, very time consuming but definately worth every minute, I am hooked on sugar art! I will post a few sneak peeks for you on my facebook page this month.  Other than that I have been busy making lot's of paper creations and printable fun for customers as far away as the UK, USA and Canada, isn't the internet amazing!

{Sneak Peek!} What I'm working on...

I have been busy designing some new and cute paper party goodies for a little girls 'Fairy Garden Party', I printed off some samples and thought you might like a sneak peek at them! Available in custom or 'fill in' style invitations, tented food/buffet cards, cupcake toppers, chocolate wrappers, pennant banners and more!

Keep your eye out I might just be giving away a paper party pack really soon :)

 I have also been busy learning some new skills in the art of creating sugar flowers, this year is shaping up to be my busiest wedding season so far...I am a little bit nervous and alot excited!!



Pirate Ship Birthday Cake {Captain Jack!}

"Ahoy there me hearties!"

Here is the pirate cake I created last week for a little boys fifth birthday, who just happened to have a great name for this design...Jack.

This was a really simple base design with the addition of a handmade fondant pirate figurine, lootbags, pirate flag, parrot, number 5 'anchor' and Captain Jack on the front to finish it off .

I was really happy with the way the 'water' turned out.  I used a mixture of royal icing and piping gel, I've not used the piping gel for many projects {prior to this one}but it was perfect for covering this cake board.

I really enjoyed making the pirate,  I saw a similar pirate figurine a while back in a UK magazine called 'Party Cakes' {this is a great read with step-by-step projects and some good recipes} I added a moustache which I modelled off my husbands lol :)

and I opted to put him in a pile of icing 'sand' instead of giving him legs as the cake was travelling to Brisbane and I was a bit nervous about breakages.

Inside is chocolate mud cake, Happy Birthday Jack!

If your hosting a pirate themed party I have a great range of pirate themed custom party stationery for boys and girls which includes all of my regular items such as party invitations and thankyou notes, paper banners, cupcake toppers, choc wrappers, treat bags etc. I would love to hear from you.

Pirate themes seem to be really popular at the moment, here is a sneak peek for you of my favourite pirate cake I created this week, this one set sail to Brisbane today for a fifth birthday celebration... so a full photo will be up for you on Sunday :)

I had lots of pointers from my own five year old son on how this cake should look, I hope you are all enjoying the school holidays...I love spending time with my kids especially with this glorious sunny weather we have been getting these last few days!



MERRY CHRISTMAS!

From my family to yours...Merry Christmas to all! Another year almost behind us, can you believe it? For this years christmas cards I decided to make these photocards as I found myself running out of time fast! Just what I needed...with the christmas card list seemingly growing each year these are a real time saver, address the envelopes, get the kids to put the stamps on and your good to go :)

I just love creating stationery for fun "boys" parties! There are so many girly party themes to choose from and probably not so many for the boys...or maybe you just have to think a little harder for the boys, I do anyway!!

Banner's can be done in all different shapes and sizes, most popular custom orders I get are for the pennants {triangle} shape but as you can see here the circle banner looks pretty good aswell.  Top That! Paperie custom made banner prices start at just $15.  If you are interested in any party stationery, or have an idea you want brought to life, maybe you just need some cookie tags or product labels with your logo on it? I would love to hear from you!  Send me an Email :)
