My youngest daughter recently turned 7 and asked for a Winter wonderland fox and deer woodland birthday party. Since her birthday falls on the 1st July (winter here in Ozz) I thought the theme was quite appropriate. Design based on the printables by The Pretty Paper Studio <br /><br /><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/202726587/woodland-birthday-party-mega-pack?ref=shop_home_feat_4" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>https://www.etsy.com/</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span><span>listing/202726587/</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span><span>woodland-birthday-party-meg</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span><span>a-pack?ref=shop_home_feat_</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>4</a><br /> </div>

The cake was a tall double barrel vanilla buttercake with edible fondant fox topper. Matching oreo fox and deer pops, and matching fox and deer chocolate cupcakes. Party was held at Little Kitchen on Lilian in Bulleen where the children decorated forest animal cookies.<span class="fbPhotoTagList" id="fbPhotoSnowliftTagList"><span class="fcg"><span class="fbPhotoTagListTag withTagItem tagItem"><input autocomplete="off" name="tag[]" type="hidden" value="636505536478597" /></span></span></span></div>

I managed to find a fair amount of woodland fox party items (all from Woolworths) for the take home goody bag. It must be a popular trending theme :-) Needless to say my daughter loved her party.<br />

We celebrated one of my daughter's 8th birthday in the second week of February. She wanted a pool party, something to do with mermaids and her favourite colour purple to be included. After receiving the papergoods from <a data-gt="{"entity_id":"253787804664328","entity_path":"\/ajax\/pagelet\/generic.php:PhotoViewerInitPagelet"}" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=253787804664328&extragetparams=%7B%22directed_target_id%22%3A0%7D" href="https://www.facebook.com/SimplySweetParties">Simply Sweet Parties</a> and sending out the invite I started work on the cake design. A very tall double barrel caramel mudcake in seafoam green ombre ruffle waves with hand rolled pearls in white, green and copper. The mermaid took the longest to make as I hand cut all the scales individually for the tail. Lilac (salted caramel) macarons were from @Macarahrah while I made matching sugar cookies and Oreo fishy pops.</div>

Game of thrones 3 tier 30th birthday cake. Inspiration was the wedding crown, gown and embroidery done on all the characters clothes from the show. Bottom tier was an "embroidered"and beaded blue bird from Cersei Lannister's robed gown. Middle tier a bronzed 3D three headed dragon relief (representing Mother of all dragons Daenerys Targarye) and top tier based on Margaery Tyell’s wedding gown and <span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show">tiara she wore at the purple wedding. The tiara took forever to make, all from modelling/flower paste. I had to create the base, let it dry, spray "paint" it gold (edible PME spray), then make the roses, let them dry before spraying them copper (PME edible copper) and lastly make the silver vines and thorns, before gently wrapping them within the crown.</span></div>

Last April was my dad's 70th birthday, so to celebrate the big milestome I figured the cake had to be pretty special. My dad loves many things but most of all he loves going on holiday with my mum on a cruise. Since they were going on a 42 day cruise at the times as part of dad's birthday present I figured a Sea Princess cruise ship would be appropriate as cake. I only had about 24 hrs to carve, gana<span class="text_exposed_show">che and cover the cake (choc mud and vanilla buttercake) as we were going away as surprise for a few days with the whole family. I printed all the windows, logos and name of the ship on edible wafer paper to save time. I kept the details of the ship fairly simple as one could sit for hours and hours trying to copy each facet of the ship. Needless to say my dad was very happy with his cake and my children pretty impressed that it actually looked like a ship <i class="_4-k1 img sp_XIzaAI1BWsY sx_ba55cb"><u></u></i></span></div>

The last few weeks before Christmas is always a very busy time for me, final school year activities, High school exams, preparations for Christmas and final year cake orders. Here is a snippet of what was created in the last couple of weeks. A super cute, yet simple glamping cake for Lil's daughter who styled a Glamping party over at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152527611031868.1073741837.84250336867&type=1">Lily Chic Events</a> (photography by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/leebirdphotography">Lee Bird Photography</a>)</div>

I also created a watering can for Imara's grade 2 teacher who's a lovely, sweet Irish lady (hence the shamrocks in the mixed bunch of flowers). The main cake was strawberry buttercake, the rest all fondant/flower paste. It took FOREVER to make all the flowers (and you all know how much I loveeee making flowers lol). Hairy moment at the eleventh hour with the water spou<span class="text_exposed_show">t, my original spout was made from rice crispy treats covered in fondant, it was too heavy (which I should have known since I made a similar cake a few years back with the same problem!). So after tearing the cake, making a big hole, having a heart attack, followed by a session of bashing my head against my kitchen table (its ceasar stone, ouch!) I redid the spout in styro covered in fondant. Viola, it was nice and light , but I did swear and worry while trying to fix the hole when fitting the spout. Needless to say Ms Maher was ecstatic with her gift and loved it.</span><span class="text_exposed_hide"> </span></div>

By far one of my favourite cakes for 2014 was this handbag cake for my youngest daughter's prep teacher. I wanted something bright, cheery, fun and happy just like the teacher's personality <i class="_4-k1 img sp_5Em_GKHOCoP sx_de2a21"></i> I've never made a handbag cake before (raspberry buttercake) and loved the whole process with details. I think I went a bit nuts lol I was inspired by my own Kate Spade bag with a mix of Coco Chanel. I love the Tiffany colour (Coco Chanel<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show"> actually made a limited edition version) and was inspired by the scrap of fabric I found in my stash which I covered the cake board in. I also made a sugar Coco Chanel bracelet with no 63 locket (the teacher turned 29 but her colleagues keep telling the preps that she's actually 63 and uses youth cream to look fair and lovely lol). The look on the teacher's face was priceless when she saw her cake, I've never had anyone go that crazy over a cake before lol She adored it, but now wants the actual bag for her 30th ! Better start saving up :-)</span></div>

Last but not least a simple one tier fruit Christmas cake inspired by the original designs from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/alittlesweetness#">A Little Sweetness</a>, I love Tasha's work so much I had to create another cake featuring her super cute birdy. <br />

<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">No party for Annike this year, instead she asked for her bedroom redecorated as her birthday gift. The brief was bright, modern and fun and she asked for a giant budgie painting as focal point as that is Annike's favourite bird. She also wanted aqua in her room as that is one of her favourite colours. Above is the mood board and colour palette for Annike's room. It took 4-6 months to plan, save, buy and then do up her room.</span></div>

We replaced the curtains with shutter blinds, the brass fan/light system was replaced with a white ceiling fan/light (Beacon lighting), the twin single beds was replaced by a double bed with under storage (from Ikea). We also purchased new linen (from Adairs), bedside table (from Target), study desk and chair from Adairs and study light from Beacon. The painting was designed and painted in acrylic by me (extra large canvas and paint from Riot Art).</div>

The main painting: As I mentioned Annike wanted a budgie, and a BIG one please. So off I went to Riot art and purchased the biggest canvas I could find, about 1.8 x 1.8 metres (it just fits in my car!!). So after I get home I started getting scared as to how BIG this canvas really is in real life and the last time I painted anything was about 3 years ago. It took about 2 days of staring at the bla<span class="text_exposed_show">nk canvas and lots of calming breaths before I had the courage to start painting. I had sketched some pre-ideas about 3 weeks prior using photo's of a budgie from different angles and this is the design both Annike and I liked best. It took 1 week of continuous work (9am - 5pm) to complete this piece, we were both very happy with the result. This is acrylic on canvas.</span></div>

Of course what is a birthday without cake :-) I matched the cake design and colours to Annike's Adairs bed set, the focal point being the sugar Dahlia (which took 3 days to complete, petal by petal). This was a double barrel extended tier in caramel toffee sponge.</div>

I was hoping to avoid Frozen-mania but one of my lovely repeat customers asked me to recreated Elsa, Anna and Olaf with the cake being the castle for her little girls birthday. I kept the figurines fairly simple because I found the faces of the actual characters quite complicated (Original clay figurine design by Mayumi Biscuit). Unless you are very, very good with figurines (which I am not!) if you try to copy the features exactly your figurines could look evil/ugly lol I am happy with how they turned out. All 100% edible (made from sugar paste)</div>

Next up a big box of mixed sugar flowers. Funny how I hate making flowers but it is one of the most requested designs. Lucky for me they are all different so by the time I get bored with one flower it is time to make a different design.</div>

I loved making this sports cake for a sports mad teenager. I saw the original design by Sweet and Saucy and altered the design to suit the birthday boy. I loved how the red and black "popped" in the design scheme. The bottom tier took forever to make using edible black pen, a ruler and a very steady hand.</div>

This petite cake was made for my daughter's 14th birthday. She asked for something small and simple and said she preferred the cake not to be covered in fondant. So I covered a double stacked 4"inch round cake in pastel pink raspberry ganache and topped it with a pink rose gilded in gold.</div>

The original design of this cake is by <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=100666230051746" href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Couture-Cakes-Cupcakes-Cake-pops/100666230051746">Miss Couture - Cakes | Cupcakes | Cake pops</a> . This cake took FOREVER to decorate, the ruffles alone took 6 hrs and I lost track of time hand placing all those pearls. The end result was lovely though, very pretty and feminine. </div>

Last Sunday I had the absolute pleasure of creating this super cute dessert table for my 6 year old's birthday party. The idea came after I received the birthday outfit from Gymboree (Cheery all the way Scottie) range and saw how adorable the colours looked together as well as the cute Scottie dog which featured on the T-shirt. I quickly sketched a design, made a mock-up on Powerpoint and sent it to <a href="http://www.amityinvites.com.au/amityinvites.com.au/Amity_Invites.html">Amity Invites</a> who created the colourful backdrop and printables for the party. I loved how all the colours worked together.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I drew and designed the cake, my daughter asked for a BIG cake with doggie topper and there had to be pink involved. The bottom tier was foam covered in fondant and the design reflected the backdrop stripes. The rest of the cake was Mocha walnut buttercake with the middle tier being black ruffles and the top tier sporting a pink edible dog collar with "silver"no 6 heart charm. I also made some matching Scottie dog biscuits, cupcakes, pops and macarons. Needless to say my daughter LOVED the table and declared it her best birthday ever :-)</div>

If this cake looks familiar then you are correct, a couple of months ago I did a similar one as 3 tiers with an orange water lily topper. This cake was 6 'inch round and almost 7 inch tall Key Lime and Coconut cake for Wendy's 40th birthday. It was certainly a challenge to cover, especially since we've had horribly hot and sticky weather down here in Melbourne! I've also had to use a fair amount of CMC powder to my flower paste to make sure the petals did not "wilt"and droop into a sticky mess. So glad summer is finally over!</div>

I was also asked to make this super cute and paired down version of Thomas the train. Double stacked 7"inch round double chocolate cake. The topper is made from styro and sugar paste so that the topper could be kept as momento. I used one of my children's Thomas lego trains as example :-)Leonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14869749941913292004noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552532789984275023.post-36486623823046733432013-03-09T20:36:00.001+11:002013-03-09T20:36:27.980+11:00Hello Kitty, Olympics and Mad Hatter cake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved making these two twin Hello Kitty cakes for two sweet little girls. One cake was vanilla buttercake and the other cake was Choc mud. I used edible textas to write the names on the cake using a homemade stencil. The figurines were made from styro and fondant so they were not only sturdy but light.</div>

Mad Hatter tea party cake for one of my daughter's best friends. The design was "open" and I could basically make whatever I wanted as long as it was Alice in Wonderland related. Everything made from sugar and 100% edible, except for the florist wire posing as "hat pins" The tea cup and pocket watch took the longest as I had to make them in stages :-)<br /> Inspired by Christopher Garrens Cakes, Lisa's cakes and <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=341145875962925&extragetparams=%7B%22group_id%22%3A0%7D" href="https://www.facebook.com/ArteDaKa?group_id=0">Arte da Ka</a></div>

This last cake was created for a 5 year old boy whom loved the Olympics. I was asked to make something simple that featured the Olympic flame, running track and had a gold medal.

Cake flavour was raspberry buttercake with raspberry compote frosting.</div>

I know, I know its been AGES since I updated my blog! I haven't forgotten, honest but life has just been so busy that keeping up with Facebook let alone this blog takes up a fair bit of my time. I've been a bit quiet as the last few months have been hectic for me. Our home that we were renting was sold suddenly last year, this meant I had about 4 weeks to look for a new home and find an alternative High school for my eldest daughter. We then moved, I stressed over my new oven and then I turned 40 (yippee, not!), had my family stay for 4 weeks (loved every minute) followed by Christmas. Just as I took a mini breather we were all off on a summer family vacation on a lovely pacific island cruise and came back just before High school, primary school and Kindy started back for my 4 children. That 1st week of back to school kept me VERY busy! But I am back now, just sharing some of the end of 2012 cakes I created such as the fire engine set for my twin Nephews back in November.</div>

I then had the challenge to make a black simple cake with balloon for a 40th birthday. I must admit this cake had me stumped at first as I could not work out how to make the balloon topper without the cake looking too childish. In the end I was happy with this design and so was the customer.</div>

Happy 8th birthday to my daughter Annike. This year her birthday fell on Melbourne cup day so she was quite pleased that she had an extra long weekend to celebrate her special day. The theme for this years cake was ballerina, specifically it had to be 3 tiers (eep!) and be pastel colours. Since 3 tiers would probably feed a whole army I decided to make th top two tiers from foam dummies covered in fondant and just make the bottom tier the real cake (raspberry buttercake).<br />

I saw a ruffled cake design in Jacki's (From Blissfull Sweet) magazine, she made a similar ruffle cake for an autumn cake and I loved how she created her ruffles. I then mirrored the ruffles from the cake on the ballerina's tutu to make it look more "fluffy".<br />
The ballerina figurine is a mix of styles, but the main idea came from one of Debbie Brown's cake books, I loved how she painted on the hair instead of using fondant.<br />

Along with the cake I also decided to make some desserts like ruffle cookies, Oreo pops, ruffle cupcakes, home made marshmallows, coconut ice and glitter macarons. Some flowers from my neighbours garden, a painted drawer unit and viola I had a mini dessert table :-) Annike had a wonderful time unwrapping her presents and admiring all her sweet treats.Leonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14869749941913292004noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552532789984275023.post-3343703098266766882012-10-31T16:07:00.003+11:002012-10-31T16:11:45.609+11:00October cakes and sweets, modern or vintage?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well October is nearly gone and we are quickly speeding towards Christmas (although I'd like to pretend that Christmas is still AGES away lol). This is what I have been busy with cake wise (along with all the packing since we are about to move house for the gazillionth time this coming two weeks). One of my good friends from my school coffee group is celebrating her birthday today (31st October) and the brief for her cake was...you choose :-) I love those kind of requests :-) Mind you I know Amanda well enough by now to know she likes modern, bright and funky so this year I decided to make her cake bright orange with pops of hot pink and teal. The flavour is orange and almond, a new version of an old recipe that I have in my stash and I must say I am in LOVE !! Sunglasses anyone?</div>

A completely different style of cake that I made for Mel's nan (The Sweet Society) who was celebrating her 70th birthday today is this super adorable petite 3 tier vintage roses, blossoms and hydrangea cake. The entire cake was white mud, a favourite with everyone covered in white choc ganache and pale blue fondant. You all know how much I love making flowers (NOT!), but I actually had fun making these and they turned out pretty good in the end.<br />

Then there was Branden's 1st birthday cake, cupcakes and cookies. The design is from Style Me Gorgeous (her shop has the whole printable package) and I just copied the cute design. How cute is the elephant with balloon?</div>

I also created a simple vintage girly Christening cake, mind you I had sooooo much trouble with the buttercream! I was supposed to ice the cake in smooth buttercream, but after 3 failed attempts (I just could not get it smooth enough) I restrained myself from throwing the cake against the wall and covered it in pale pink fondant.</div>

Then there was some super duper detailed wedding pops, cupcakes and cookies. I think my poor neck was permanently bent into a U-shape after I finished decorating these! The brief was vintage brooches and cameo's in white/pearl and pale grey. The pops were made from Oreo's then dipped in white or grey chocolate x 2 before being given a pearl sheen with some lustre dust.</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">To say I was excited to enter the <a href="http://www.shoptomkat.com/">The TOMKAT Studio</a> Challenge would be an
understatement,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>since I’ve always loved
all things <a href="http://www.thetomkatstudio.com/">Tomkat</a> when I came across their website about 3 years ago. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Over the next week or so you'll be able to see 8 gorgeous parties by 8 fabulous Australian party planners, the printables they chose for the challenge and what ideas they came up with.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Choosing
the printable package I wanted to showcase for this challenge was the hard
part, so many gorgeous designs to choose from, but I finally chose the “Owl
design package” as I love the versatility of this design. I asked one of the
designers to custom change the colour for me to yellow and aqua with a touch of
grey as I wanted to create a gender neutral baby shower that was both bright,
funky and unique.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I loved how this design turned out and incorporated the gorgeous
colours and owl motif throughout the baby shower design process, without going
overboard. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The Baby shower invites were encased in plain white CD boxes
that I found in the Dollar shop for 50 cents each, which I jazzed up with some
paper doilies and bright yellow ribbon. If you have to send yours via the post
think about making or buying some hessian fabric pouches/pockets to slip your
invites in to, this creates a bit of intrigue for the recipient.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

keep my budget in line I decided to make most of the dessert treats myself as
well as buying most of my props and furniture 2<sup>nd</sup> hand from Op shops
and Ebay giving some items a lick of paint to tie in with my theme. The main
dessert buffet table had treats such as mini choc nests (mini cheesecake in a handmade
choc nest and topped with sugar eggs), passionfruit and vanilla macarons, Oreo
and lemon pops and Peach and banana smoothie. </span><br />

the cupcakes instead of using the <a href="http://www.thetomkatstudio.com/">Tomkat</a> cupcake topper design as a cardstock
topper I opted to have the Tomkat design printed on edible wafer paper and made
some fondant toppers for the cupcakes instead. </span><br />

also opted to have the owl shaped gingerbread cookies displayed separately in
mini aqua birdcages hanging from a white decoupaged birch tree instead of just
placing them on plates. The owl cookies <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was a real hit amongst the guests and provided
a focal point on the favours table. </span><br />

(August 2012)Two tier Babushka cake, top tier caramel mudcake with caramel buttercream and salted caramel glaze, bottom tier vanilla bean butter cake. This baby was HEAVY!! I had free reign to do this cake and had so much fun with the design. Bottom tier I used a lace ribbon and hand placed edible sugar pearls and sugar flowers to emboss the pattern.</div>

3 tier birthday cake for my eldest daughter Anya. She wanted something bright and inspired by a peacock (without being obvious). Top tier choc sponge, middle tier white caramel mud and bottom tier foam :-) I was inspired by Blissfully Sweet's ruffle cakes and decided to give the ruffles a go on this design, actually wasn't that hard just very time consuming.</div>

Contemporary Moroccan birthday cake set for a 50th. The client ( a very good friend of mine) is a ceramics artist who likes bright colours, I'd say this is classed as bright lol The pattern was hand drawn using edible markers, fondant and edible sugar pearls. It took me AGES to complete!!! :-)Leonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14869749941913292004noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552532789984275023.post-82529433980174097122012-07-05T20:49:00.000+10:002012-07-05T20:49:05.215+10:00Little Red Ridinghood party - 4th birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This past weekend my youngest daughter Liandra turned 4, I didn't want a massive party for her just something small and intimate so we created this cute Little Red riding hood themed lunch for her. My biggest inspiration came from the Anders Ruff "Little Red" printables, isn't it cute? I love the aqua, red and green combo rather than having the whole theme being predominantly red. I had a lovely lady at Lily Sage and Co make her Little red costume which consisted of a cute aqua pinafore, matching white lacy apron and warm wooly red cape. This was my favourite part of her birthday, seeing her all dressed up :-)</div>

Way back in January 2012 we celebrated Imara's 5th birthday party, the theme "I want to be a florist". I wasn't able to share the photo's with anyone because the party would appear in the US magazine The Party Dress Magazine (see above photo to see the article in the magazine) . Thank you The Party Dress magazine for the feature :-) I've finally had some time to share some of the pictures taken by Enraptured Photography, aren't they gorgeous? Because Imara's birthday always tends to be hot (and this year was no exception) we usually have to hold it in doors. I was lucky enough that my dad handmade the gorgeous flower cart for this party while I cut and sewed the red and white canopy.</div>

For the cake I decided to make the bottom tier out of foam to save time and to give the cake some height. The top tier was made from chocolate cake and shaped into a watering can and topped with sugar flowers. I struggled with the cake that week since we had 35 degree + heat that whole week and my icing wanted to melt :-( I am still very happy with how it all turned out in the end. The whole entire design and theme was based on the party paperware from WH Hostess, I purchased the entire party package from invite, to tags to thank you tags and water labels.</div>

Since I did not have a very big budget I purchased the flowers from Aldi the day before th party and popped them in watering can "vases". Take home treats were flower cookies, choc bars, lolly pops and jelly beans in mini watering cans.Leonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14869749941913292004noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552532789984275023.post-37285948190472733232012-05-22T13:10:00.002+10:002012-05-22T13:10:50.491+10:00April and May cakes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">When I was asked to create a special
“Blissfully Sweet” Mother’s Day table to honour Jacki’s mum Suzanne Maree
Wadey, who passed away from breast cancer 10 years ago I was very excited if
not a bit nervous. The theme was relaxed, casual beachside with the main
colours being shades of teal, rustic/natural sand and white. Since my
topic was “Hot Chocolate and S’mores bar” my accent colours was chocolate and
burnt orange. My main inspiration came from the gorgeous printables by Style me
Gorgeous, I used the colours that Sarah incorporated in my tags and used them
in paint colours, ribbon, food and props to create my “bar”. I didn’t want to
use a conventional table so instead I opted for a vintage “hutch” that I had in
storage. I gave the hutch a lick of paint (matching my printables) and used
that as my “anchor” point for the whole design. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Thinking about what to serve on my bar was both easy and difficult! Easy because it’s a bar, so I had to obviously incorporate elements such as self-serve chocolate, marshmallows, crackers etc but at the same time difficult as I didn’t have anything “pretty”to showcase like I normally do. No fancy cakes, no lovely cookies and no gorgeous cupcakes as it didn’t fit with my theme. Instead I opted to have some gorgeous eye catching flowers sprinkled with shells from Velvet Lily Florist to make my bar “pretty” and providing a focal point . I am sure you can see from the photo’s that the stunning bouquets lifted my bar from ordinary to lovely. Some of the food that was served at the bar (other than the expected self-serve ingredients needed to create a hot chocolate drink and s’mores snack) was dunking choc chip cookies, chocolate macarons, S’Mores cupcakes, S’mores Cheesecake and s’mores pops. </span></div>

The Kinder was kind enough to lend us 3 baby chicks and their local pet bunny, this provided endless entertainment and cuddles for the smaller guests at the luncheon. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Tying in with the theme we had treats such as fake baby nests with chocolate eggs at each place setting, Oreo chick pops, Chicks on sticks (cookies) Baby chicks cake and Easter egg sugar cookies with edible vintage images (I used images found for free on google image search). The colour scheme was mauve, lilac (Laura’s favourite colour) and yellow since we wanted a unique colour palette rather than the standard pastel pink usually reserved for girls. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Love JK did a fantastic job creating custom printables and invites to match our<br />theme, I find this the best cost effective way to thread a theme throughout an entire party while keeping to a budget. Each guest took home a small jar of homemade Lemon Myrtle or Blackberry and Lilac jam while the children took home a knitted woolen bag with bunny badge filled with chocolate candy coated eggs.<br /><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtw9UyRJIp49-lSW2RwAw921J3UCr8Ian9O19YD4GfPXbsYPVKvfRG1Jy2f2dCoTaeGE8kFfaE9oTCEdL419Y9MIO39xBx1Y8c3juaGYKUfOl9uiatjUxt0DR-ds-qw07F-qqN0sqNkrBI/s1600/little+chic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The reason for all the secrecy is because the party was featured in the <a href="http://www.hoffmanmedia.com/celebrate.aspx">Phyllis Hoffman Celebrate Spring 2012 magazine</a> (see photo above). I was so excited to receive my copy of the magazine last week and saw how beautiful the feature looked.

Immediately my head was spinning with ideas. I knew Annike, my daughter, loved ice cream and that we would have real ice cream at the party as well as ice cream related<br />activities (they made ice cream out of fabric, cotton wool and paint on mini canvases). But I also knew that realistically we could not have ice cream on the dessert table as it would all melt. So instead I brainstormed and created a menu of items that would fit into the Sundae theme. Some of the food items we had was choc pops (white chocolate melts flavoured with raspberry, caramel or vanilla candy oil then tinted in the pastel colours, poured into an icy pole chocolate mould and left to set), Ice cream pops (cake balls dipped in pastel white chocolate then placed onto mini ice cream cones), ice cream cookies, ice cream sundae cupcakes, mini strawberry mousse, mini milkshakes (each glass rim was dipped in white chocolate then dipped in sprinkles), mini popcorn served in Robert Gordon striped ice cream cups, fruit cones (fresh strawberries, grapes<br />and water melon served in white paper cones) and macarons (lemon and strawberry).<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivbB1-23pSuSDMlc-OcVBkp06Vx3omZITocjU5riJ8rfQpbmHK7wgAlr7zq5hx5Vk46xBhRfYxV24I5F59DPj1Vwql2i8qHB9rtUGf215PsUnh7Z9ZJhtVRNPHUSrPjybtuf-xlS0Lj9bE/s1600/Ice+cream+acrt.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
