Galinha Pintadinha

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm about to introduce you to the cutest foreign cartoon ever! It's Brazilian, it's in portuguese, its so insanely adorable, and it's almost hypnotizing!

No wonder it's so darn loved by the kiddos over there, right!? Apparently it's a very popular birthday party theme as well.  Now if that video wasn't adorable enough, here is it in cake for a little girl's first birthday!

Wait, wait, there's more! Matching cupcakes, of course! 

The party mama also sent me this picture of their setup. Is she talented, or what!? I love seeing creative sweet tables like these, especially when my cakes are right in the middle of all this deliciousness! 

Oh The Places You'll Go!

It's graduation season! It's always very exciting to move on to bigger and better things. My little niece is starting kindergarten in the fall, so she had her daycare graduation last week. This has to be the cutest grad I have ever attended! It was complete with little ones stumbling across stage, amazing performances, teeny graduation hats, and a proud parents paparazzi crowding around the stage with a million cameras. It was all quite the sight!

As a little present to my niece, I made her a graduation cake. I based it on the Dr. Seuss book, Oh The Places You'll Go! I've been dying to make any Dr. Seuss themed cake, and this book is just so terrific, and a classic for graduations. 

Double Rainbow

A few weeks ago, I got to make a cake for a very colourful birthday. I love working with this party mama, her parties are always perfect to the tee! From her own baked goods, to some amazing prints by JustME designs, and of course, at the centre of it all, my cakes! I love her amazing sweet table setups! Last year, I created a very frilly, sparkly Barbie cake for the little one's birthday. This year, she took a 180 turn and did something completely different. She asked for a very clean, modern, rainbow/art themed cake. After a whole lot of back and forth between designs, we both agreed on a very cute design.

While last year, the cake's centre was a pink gradient, this year, I was asked to make rainbow layers of cake. Lots of baking involved, and it makes for a very tall cake, but what an amazing effect!

The outside of the cake included crayons, flowing rainbow paint, paint splatters, and a paint palette. She decided to include a paper banner on top, provided by JustME and she did such an amazing job bringing it all together. I absolutely love this cake!
