This is what I've been up to this weekend, getting ready for Lexie's sunshine and smiles 1st birthday party. Rather than making the entire party yellow and white, we've thrown in some soft and hot pinks to break the colour up a bit. Besides the sun is not only yellow, look at what gorgeous colours mama sun creates when the sun comes up or sets ;-) This gorgeous party was created around Parties by Hardie's printable sunshine birthday collection. Since Simone, Lexie's mummy, would be making the doily bunting for the party venue (all 8 metres of it!!) I decided to add some fondant doilies to the cake design. The sun topper is actually made from coconut ice (pink) and then covered in white choc fondant that I coloured canary yellow. The cake was 8' round x 10' tall "rainbow cake, so one layer of raspberry, then strawberry, then orange and then lemon to simulate the sun rising. For the flower pieces I bought some floral sponge balls, cut a 1/4 off the bottom so it sits flat, dipped them in water and then popped various shades of yellow and pink flowers till the whole ball was covered. Not only did the arrangements look lovely but they smelled devine too, not bad for a non florist who tends to kill plants by just looking at them ;-) Some of the goodies on the table were these cute ice cream cakes. I saw them in my Bakerella recipe book and decided to make these with the leftover lemon and orange cake I had after carving and evening out my cake. The only difference is that my ice creams were covered in buttercream frosting and then topped with chocolate and sprinkles. Here are the goodies that I made for Lexie's party, I was one busy bee in the kitchen these past few days! Smiling sun cookies. Yummy raspberry and lemon cupcakes The party was held in a communal hall, here is a photo taken just after I completed the styling of the main table. It looked so pretty once everything was in its place. Some of the other food items we had were thermometres (breadsticks dipped in chocolate then dipped in yellow sprinkles), Sunset and sunrise home made lemonade, mini cheescakes with beach umbrellas, slip,slop,slap sandwiches, sizzling sausage and sunshine jelly cups. Since it also was a smiles party I made these smiley pops. The hall looked stunning in the end, Simone worked very hard making decorations and creating the rest of the food. Fantastic job Simone, well done.

(In an effort to get all my photos posted, I’m going to give you the abridged but visually unedited (bowling alley lighting and 80s clothing-ugh!!) version of life.) We had a surprise birthday party for my sister, Holly’s, 40th birthday. (Back in March, but who’s keeping track…) Since we had a 70s birthday bash for her husband, Casey, we thought we’d go for the 80s for Holly. The boys had never been bowling before, and it was a smashing hit. Shannon even brought Holly a (HUGE) prom dress to slip over her regular clothes so she could get into the spirit of things. And a balloon arch made the pictures complete.
Lorax themed cake for Leah's 3rd birthday - the Lorax is hand modelled fondant, tree stump is cake. Truffula trees are (very aptly) giant truffles ;-) Leah was supposed to have her party tomorrow, but her mom just contacted me to say that she's ill and the party has to be postponed :-( They will still enjoy the cake though!
