HAPPY 2013!!

Wishing you a very happy & blessed 2013!!

Today's our first day back from a well deserved 2 week break! I have a lot of catching up to do and although it's only day 7 of 2013, it's already very busy! I have been off the blog for some time...I have no excuse really, it just got so busy and before we knew 2013 was here! 2012 was a good year, but 2013 will be even better! We have made a lot of exciting changes and our new look site will  be live soon, it's just taking a little longer, so please bear with us!

In the meantime, here are some pretty cake pics from 2012...

April Days

April is my month! I am an April baby! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY APRIL babies!!

I've been gone for a while, but I am back! I have been very under the weather to the point where I thought I was going blind (drama queen)! I've had some serious allergies (and it's not even sunny here in London!), but I am fully recovered and back to being busy, busy!

So, my birthday came & went too fast. I was sick and my precious girls made me a lovely cake surrounded by plenty of strawberries and dark chocolate...yum!!

More cakes following soon!

Ahoy There!

A while back I mentioned that we were working on a Nautical Themed 1st Birthday Party, which has seen us at our busiest over the last couple of days, as well as being busy in the kitchen baking some yummy treats!

So the nautical themed first birthday party has come and gone, and the party was a great success! The weather delivered some sizzling sunshine, and sealed the theme. The party was held in the garden of the lovely God-parents of the birthday boy, and the decked patio with the exposed brick back wall, was the perfect canvas for our theme. The colour palette we chose was made up of navy, apple green, hot orange, white, with hints of pinstripe in shades of blues and white. The decorative accents included, sailing ropes, biodegradable wooden cutlery, navy & apple green napkins, navy grosgrain ribbons, pinstripe ribbons, personalised bunting, water bottles, napkin wrappers, cookies and favour bags, and a nautical inspired cake!

We designed the complete range of the event stationery, based around the nautical icons of a sail boat and an anchor, no 1, and the party slogan Ahoy There! in the chosen colour scheme, and stripes and bold outlines to keep it boyish and playful for a 1 year old, and this also added pops of the colours to the party table. We customised our welcome sign, using a plain white polystyrene ring, and added navy blue strips of ribbon, white cord, and glued on the welcome message, so that the guests were Welcomed Aboard the Nautical theme from the second they arrived!

  

We used mounted navy blue drinks dispensers for some yummy homemade coolers, and set them at varied heights. We used plain white serving platters for the kids nibbles and added more colour with pineapple, strawberry, and kiwi fruit kebabs dotted with Haribo jellies!

It was a fun party to plan, and fun was had by all. With plenty of good food, a BBQ for the adults, good music and wonderful group of people, our job was done!

Cake pictures and cookie details following in the next post!

Enjoy the sunshine!
