40th Birthday Zebra Cake
Here is a cake I just finished for a 40th birthday party. Nice and sassy!! :)
{Real Parties}::Firefighters save the kittens party::
Birthdays are always a special occasion
and when I am asked to make a birthday cake for a childrens party
or for a 50th birthday, i always feel honoured to be part of that special day even if I don't know
the birthday boy or girl...
So when I was asked to make 2 birthday cakes for a brother and sister who
celebrated their birthdays close together I was deligthed!
I also loved the theme of the party:
{Firefighers save the kittens party}
I think it is very original and when you look at the pictures you can just see all
the detail that went in to the planning of this party!
It was held at our local fire department this past saturday
and it looks like the kids had tons of fun!
The pictures of the tables and the kiddies were sent over by the Mom,
she put in a lot of love and time into planning the party and I am sure she
enjoyed the looks on the little ones faces just as much as they enjoyed the party!

Turquoise and Cherise Pink buffet table!
I have been seriously busy this past week!
I had 2 birthday cakes(will be posting soon)
::And 2 dessert tables for saturday::
Take a look at the frist one:
(i was lucky enough to still take pictures
when it was light outside.)
The other table was for my step sisters ::{21st birthday}::
I still have to upload the pictures I took, but i didn't take as many, and the lighting was terrible
so i wasn't able to do it justice with my cellphones camera!
I will be posting these sometime this week.
2 parties and 2 cakes
I am typing this filled with a mixture of
elation and fear!
Fear that i won't get everything done that i want to(hopefully with some time management i will)
and elation because this is what i love to do!
Let me explain:
The weekend was pretty full and on Sunday driving home from our wedding weekend,
we stopped over at my Uncles house, because it was his birthday, to wish him happy birthday!
We were late for the party, actually we missed it altogether, but we still dropped in to wish him well!
My cousin, who is turning 16 this year, asked if i could do a dessert tablescape for her friends birthday this saturday. I said sure!
Knowing that i am also doing one for my step sisters 21st birthday this saturday!
And today a lady confirmed an order for two birthday cakes for friday!
Oh, and i came home ill from the wedding, with a cold, so i spent most of yesterday in bed and only got up
this morning!
So now i have exactly 3 days to plan, bake and decorate for both the parties(the 21st i am attending).
And to do the 2 birthday cakes, one is a fire truck the other is a cat cake!
Also, i am helping a friend tomorrow with her twin grandsons birthday cakes!
So i have already started the planning for my cousins party
the theme is Denim & Diamonds.
And the colours has to be pink and turquoise
here is my idea for the party:
I am also taking some inspiration from the dessert buffet Amy Atlas did here:
Because there is loads of turquoise and pink!
For my step sisters 21st, she chose
a princess theme...
I am still trying to decide exactly what i am doing for that:
This is all i have for now:
as i am saying i hope i get everything done!
The Cake and ::{The Wedding}::
This weekend, or actually part of last week, i was
stressed out!
Because i had to make a 3 tiered Chocolate mousse wedding
cake for our friends wedding!
The wedding was held 300 km away from where we live, so guess what?
Everything had to be done there...
So i had to pack up my kitchen and decorating utensils and decorate the cake at my
In laws house, which is 30 km from where the wedding was held...
I was busy the whole of friday and was able to deliver the cake friday evening on the farm.
It was placed in the cold store, seeing as it was filled with mousse.
But not only did i do the cake, i also made 150 oreo cake balls for the chocolate table they had
for dessert!
Take a look at some of the wedding details:
::{the wedding was brown and turquoise}::
The happy couple!
::{They got married on the family (tomatoe)farm}::
The Cake
::{3 tiered chocolate mousse cake}::
The rest of the dessert table
::{Only the cake balls were made by me}::
I did not do the dessert table, only made oreo cake balls that you can see back there in the corner to the left...
The wedding was really beautiful.
I don't know why, but for some reason i dont have any pictures of the
tables where we sat after the ceremony...
Thanx for the visit!

Bailey's 4th Birthday Party
I cannot believe my baby girl is turning four!!! Here are some pics from her party we had this past weekend. It was perfect! Beautiful weather, wonderful friends and a very happy birthday girl....
The table set for 8 little cowgirl princesses... 
The kids did a frame craft while we waited on the horses...
Later we did a little farm animal dig using these as the containers for the animals. (I covered old coffee cans...I had to drink a lot of coffee to make these!) ;)
B had so much fun with her buddies.
All the kiddos w/ their stick ponies.
My little trouble maker!
What a fun party!!!
I made WANTED posters for all the kids who came. Bailey was wanted for "The HIGH crime of growing up too fast!"
And Olivia's was for "For the high crime of being a pesky little sister"
and ain't that the truth! ;)
and ain't that the truth! ;)The table set for 8 little cowgirl princesses...
Wild West shooting game...(using B's marshmallow shooter) I got the idea for this game from a blog I found online... Love Actually

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!
She got to ride a pony into her party...
The lady brought 3 ponies, two little guys and one bigger one. Of course everyone wanted to ride the "big" one.
Even Olivia got on!!
Even Olivia got on!! Check out the death grip she has on mom!!!!
She loosened up after a while and did NOT want to get off!!! My little 13 month old cowgirl...mama is so proud!
B had so much fun with her buddies.
Cake time!!!
After the party I asked Bailey what her favorite part of her party was. She said, "The YUMMY cake!!" (the girl LOVES cake) I said, ok, well what did you like better, riding the pony or searching for farm animals...she said "The YUMMY cake!!!" Great! Thats a good story for my blog, but I could have saved myself a lot of work and just presented with a cake... lol
B eating her "yummy cake". I think her new favorite flavor is strawberry...
