Ballerina Birthday

I am not a cake maker. (Period) I do make fabulous, taste bud dancing cakes, but not the birthday, wedding, baby shower kind. This is a special occasion. I will do cakes for my family and friends who are so amazing they are like family, but that is it. This is for my sweet Clara, who is basically my niece. My youngest daughter's best friend and the daughter of my best friend. So she pretty much scored. Not only did I make the cake ( did I mention I would rather make cupcakes) I also made her cookies for her class. Nutcrackers for the boys and ballet slippers for the girls. I also visited my favorite place to get crack, I meant crafts ;) All hail Pinterest!!! I made a ill pettitutu. Sew much fun:) without any sewing needed. It has been a blessing know dear sweet Clara and her amazing family. I hope she always smiles and twirls through life with delight!!

Now. Back to that cake. Ugh. Cake.
You will notice the primary decoration is a big cookie (victory for me) and candy clay roses butterflies and ballet shoes. I did kinda enjoy making this, only because it was made for Clara. Cake is still not my thing;)
So here is to a sweet birthday girl! Eu amo voce muito!

French for a day

To celebrate my amazing daughter's 8th birthday, we decided to have a Tea Party. Not just any tea party, rather a French Tea Party at the fanciest place I could think of.
I worked nights and nap times to create lasting memories for my daughters and their guests! Invitations in French translated into English. Hand painted and personalized cups. French hairpieces adorned with feathers jewels and flowers.

Plans of treats danced in my head,...

We had Eiffel Tower Shortbread cookies, chocolate covered spoons, dark chocolate truffles, hand shaped tea sugars and the most amazing tea cookies you may ever taste. Of course we had special cupcakes to sing with. A dark chocolate cake with a marshmallow buttercream and candy clay flowers. A dark chocolate cake with a double dark ganache adorned with a candy clay rose. We had lavender honey vanilla tea cakes to marry our strawberry tea from France. I proudly catered the entire event, and it was amazing! A BIG Thank You to all of our guests,our photographer and The Moss Mansion.

Butterfly Love

My oldest child's Birthday was a few weeks ago. I am doing some serious slacking in the blog department but better late than never! My Sweet Melly Girl turned ten and she never has any serious or particular requests,.. she just states "surprise me". That I did. I went against the cake this year. I did ShortBread Hand cut flowers with a wafer paper butterfly in a warm light blue tone. I also did cupcakes and my fav mini cakes!
