Here's the latest

Wow it has been hectic around here. I had the cake order for Brice's 15th B-day party & my daughter's Baby Shower. It has been non-stop.

I wanted to share the cake I did for Brice. I also did cupcakes & cookies for her Girls Night Out.

It was very bright & shiny. lol I was afraid it was too crazy but she liked it.

The week before that I hosted Tarynn's "Rock Out" Baby Shower. It came out so cool. It fit her personality to a "T". Down to the very last detail. It truly represented her & her love for music. I am sure she will pass this on to her son. :)

I got the idea off of one my blogs that I read. This woman had thrown her hubby a Rock Star b-day party. I just took her cue & detailed it to Tarynn's personality.

Have you ever had one of those events where EVERYTHING falls into perfect place. This was mine. We had so much fun & everyone seemed to like the less than standard approach to the baby shower. hahaha Here's some of the food we had. We even had *Rockstar* drinks. lol

The only thing that did'nt turn out to my expectations was her cake. It ended up looking a lot like her b-day cake unfortunately. She LOVED it though so thats all that matters. The cupcakes totally rocked. LOL

These were some of the favors we made. I designed the popcorn boxes as a "Thank You" for coming. On the belly of the girl it says "Ready To Pop!" So stinkin cute. The candy bar wrappers we designed too. The little rocker ducks were given away with the candy bars for game prizes along with the chocolate chips, cookie recipe & star cookie cutters. There were gift cards as well.

As for my zebra print purse album, that I mentioned in the previous post. It is closer to being finished than it was, but not totally there yet. I finally got all the pages cut & assembled. I just have to decorate it. I'm making it for one of my hubby's co-workers. She is a hoot & I just love her. I'm also going to make her a cake with a tiara on the top & some bling bling around the bottom. It should be fun!

Well I will be back to share more later....Toodles

Rock Out Baby Shower

I told you I'd be back. lol

If you did'nt already know we are expecting our first grandbaby in March. We are over the moon excited. His name will be Landon. I cannot wait to hold this baby. I have a feeling he will be a big baby. My daughter is huge. She gets asked almost daily if she's having twins. lol So far they have only seen one. :)

We have been planning her baby shower for quite awhile. We were throwing around ideas that would best suit their personalities. Tarynn saw an invte online that she loved but they were a bit pricey. She has mad computer skills so I told her to come up with her own in the style she liked. As usual, we were not disappointed. Her invitations came out adorable. Now they are not your traditional invites but if you know our daughter you would know that they are totally HER. Tarynn has always been into music. It's her first love. She has attended numerous concerts in numerous cities. She has had the pleasure of meeting a lot of famous people. She is a beautiful girl with the most outgoing, fun-loving personality around. She has charmed her way backstage as well as, on tour buses to meet her idols. So when you look at her shower theme it will all make sense. Here is a picture of her invite. I love how it came out.

I was looking online & reading blogs to try & come up with an idea for the shower. One thing opened the door to the next. It was just amazing how everything fell into place. I went here & found the party essentials. The "Rock Out" theme & colors matched perfectly. I went & bought 40 yards of black tulle to do up like streamers on the ceilings. We will accent those with the three colors of balloons & some hanging glittered stars. I can see the vision in my head perfectly. We will see how well I get it out from there. Hahaha

I also found fabric to make Landon a quilt. Here are the pics of that as well. I want to have stars embroidered on each of the corners & his name on the center. It should come out real nice.

We are putting the finishing touches on all the yummy food I'm gonna make. We are going to go with the BIG cupcake cakes & little cupcakes on the side. I purchased zebra wrappers for those & will decorate them with red, black & silver. Oh I almost forgot, I purchased guitar picks that say Rock Out on them for the cupcake toppers. I hope they come out.

I'm off to finish up some snickerdoodles. I promise to be back to share more with you tomorrow. I need to share the BIG cupcake cakes I have been making for people. I love this pan & all the creativity it has brought. Until tomorrow......
