Colourful Christmas


I have finally found my Christmas Inspiration for this year!
Look at the Colourful Inspiration board i put together!
I can't wait to go and do the shopping for this one...

I decided to go with the Colourful Theme for Christmas, because, well,
Christmas is all about Feeling Festive, eating lots of Candy and everything in between!

I will be doing the dessert table!
I am so excited, i just can't wait!


I am off to baking for this week!
I have a Mermaid and Winnie the pooh Cake for this week!
Will share this as soon as possible!

Ben 10 Watch - Again

This is the 4th
Ben 10 Watch Cake I have made!

Check out my first one here


Well,
 Technically I am busy baking the 4th one...
The order is for Saturday for a 5 year old boy! Who no doubt loves Ben10!
Aren't Kids just a JOY!
......

Speaking of
JOY,
our family usually
 Celebrate  with a Christmas
dinner a few weeks or so before Christmas because we aren't always together on Christmas Day.


This year,
inspired by all the beautiful dessert buffets and using my new found Baking
skill, I was given the go ahead by my Step Mother to do a Christmas dessert
buffet!


I am not sure
about the colour scheme, will have to put my brain to work real soon about that!


Any Ideas?

Do I stick to the
traditional RED and GREEN Christmas, or do I experiment with some other
colours...

Have any

Christmas Dessert buffet's ideas you would like to share?
Keep in mind here
in South Africa it is Summer time when it is Christmas time... so no snow for
us!



I would love to
hear your thoughts on this, if you don't mind sharing!


Oh, and another
thing...would you like a Ben 10 Watch Cake tutorial, seeing as I am busy baking
one and decorating tomorrow...

Let me know if
you would like a step by step tutorial.


Lots of love

Pilgrim Boy

This one I just finished for Bailey's preschool Thanksgiving Feast tomorrow. I think she is getting spoiled by seeing all these cakes b/c I just showed this one to her and all she said was, "I want it to be a girl". LOL Whatever....

Relaxed and Pretty Bridal Shower

What a wonderful day!

We had the Bridal Shower Bright and Early this morning!
And look at the view that awaited us!
One of the Bride's friends was kind enough to lend
her parents house for the shower!
I must say this was one of the best Bridal Showers i have ever
been at!
Not only because of the view and the yummy treats, but
also the ladies were so kind and friendly!
I only knew the Bride to be and her Mom, but
felt very welcome after a few minutes after arriving there!

This photo was taken 09:25am CAT
Wish i could wake up to a view like this every morning!
I unfortunately didn't get more pictures of the house, but
hey, we were there for the Shower...



Now on to the fairy princess herself, the Bride to be!
She was completely surprised!
This was what she was dressed up as:
A Fairy Princess!
I didn't get any good close up photos so
i will make do with this one!


Next the Pretty Table
It was very relaxed and colourful!



Do you see anything that strikes your fancy?
The cupcakes! YES!

Those are the cupcakes i made for the Shower!
I recieved a lot of compliments!
Gosh, that got me blushing!

Here are some more pictures of
the Cupcakes!








I hope you also feel excited now!
:D

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Lots of love

Invites and Thank You's

Hello Again!

I am making some cupcakes this week for a Bridal shower this weekend!
All i can say, is it is going to be pretty!
Will post them as soon as i am done!

I also designed the Thank You cards for the guests.
It is in my home language(Afrikaans), so basically it says Thank You for Attending!
You can probably guess the theme is going to be Fairies...




And then, i was playing around with a birthday invite...Just for fun!
Here is a pastel coloured one!
I think it will look very cute for a birthday!
Don't You think so too?


Let me know if you can still remember your 2nd birthday?

Have a wonderful day
Lots of Love

Minnie Mouse Cake

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDALL!!!!!!!!!!!


Grandparent's Day

I feel like the lazy blogger..... no time for writing.... these days I'm just posting pictures. It's been so crazy around here lately, I haven't even been doing that very much either. Just like everyone else with kids, the week of Halloween is super busy.... parties, trick or treating, programs at school and this year the girls' elementary school decided to throw Grandparents Day in there, too. So Friday my mom came in town to visit the girls for Grandparents Day.



Here's mom and Madison



And here's Macy in her classroom before her party. That's her friend, Cally in the foreground. His dad is the new coach in Auburn and I have to say, that's one of the sweetest and most respectful children I've ever met. He told us he only ate one piece of his Halloween candy the night before because he was going to go give it to all the football players.



Here's Macy with Mic-Mic at her Grandparents Day lunch



Madison's also been pretty busy with softball lately.... here's a cute one of her team.
This is our last week of games and 4 nights a week of activities.
Hooorraahhhh!!



And then there's this.....
candy, candy, candy
....
Causing alot of trouble, too....
Wrappers on the floor, in the couch cushions, under chairs.
My gosh, has anybody ever heard of a trashcan!
Now that I'm done stealing all of their chocolate, I think it's about time
to get rid of all the rest and put an end to all the candy wars. I know there are some
mama's out there that are right there with me on that one!



Oh, and I musn't (is that a word??) forget about Jonathan..... his favorite time of year is here. The deer corn is being planted, the tree stands are up, the guns are primed and ready...... it's almost that time for opening day. This weekend while he was up at the farm working, he came across this little coyote. The man will kill anything if it's legal! You just never know what he'll come home with..... dead and disgusting and too gross for me to look at...... and by the way, I wouldn't even take this picture.... he had to recruit Madison to do it. Yuck! I just hope he's not planning on stuffing it..... we're running out of room to display dead animals around here.

So everyone put your pets up safe and sound in your houses.... he's got the fever again.

I'm kidding, of course.
