Happy 6th Birthday Lauren

My neice Lauren turned 6 in June and she asked me if I could make her a Rose cake, and maybe some cupcakes with a rose on them too. My sister explained to her that Auntie might have some trouble finding just the right Rose to make into a cake for her (Phew! Thanks Cori!) but I did promise her that I would look around and see what I could find and then show her the pictures and whichever one she liked best would be the one I'd make. I told her my idea for the cupcakes and she loved them, so since her favourite colour is purple I found the perfect gingham cupcake liners and selected Lavender and Purple Roses as decoration for the cupcakes. So the cupcakes were sorted and all set for her Tea Party she was having with her friends from school and the neighborhood.

My next challenge was the cake, once we found a cake and decided on the colour scheme it was off to the races I went!

Here's the finished product and a close up of a flower design that were all over it. My neice loved it!

Happy Birthday Lauren, Auntie loves you xo

Happy 1st Birthday Samantha!

My neice celebrated her 1st birthday recently and I had the honour of making her first birthday cake. My sister had seen on Pinterest a "Little Miss Sunshine" themed party and loved the idea for her little Angel. Cori has the most beautiful 4 kids, I'm biased but that's OK, and her youngest Angel has the most infectious smile so the LittleMiss Sunshine theme idea was perfect! Cori found a picture of the cutest cake and asked me to replicate it, it turned out beautifully!

I decided to make a special Smash Cake for her and some cupcakes for Angel's cousins, since we come from a large family we wanted to make sure there was enough for everyone!

There wasn't a scrap of cake or cupcake leftover so I'd say it was a hit!  Happy Birthday Samantha~Auntie loves you xo
