Dessert Table - Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

Two weeks ago we celebrated my niece's 11th birthday and I volunteered to plan a Rudolph themed Christmas party to celebrate. She had already had her party with her friends but there is always a family celebration.

I was anxious to try out my new edible ink printer and made some rudolph picture cookies...I heart my new printer! I even utilized some of TomKat's Rudolph printable collection throughout the party. My cherished Rudolph characters were used to adorn the cake which was a chocolate cake filled with peppermint patty buttercream and I added some other christmas themed goodies including the traditional favorite egg nog to the table.






























This party was a blast to plan and put together!

I would not have been able to have gotten these pictures without my sister
who is a great photographer among other talents!
Thank you, Victoria, for the awesome shots of the party!

Happy Birthday, Destiny!

Ice Skating Cake

Created this ice skating themed cake for my oldest neice who is turning 11. I have yet to make a cake for her and it was a treat. My neice and I both share December birthdays and she was supposed to be born on my birthdate. She really is a gem. Hope you had fun! Happy Birthday!

Dessert Table: Twilight Eclipse Party

A few months ago my sister let me borrow her Twilight movies since I had never seen them and am now officially a Twihard..or should I say Twilighter!? December 4 was the dvd release of the third installment in the Twilight series, Eclipse, and we both agreed to create a dessert table to celebrate! My sister even treated us twihards to a beautiful Italian meal to start off the evening. It was so much fun to collaberate with her in creating this table and I hope we can do it again. Hmmm...maybe when Breaking Dawn hits theatres next November..*shriek!* I can't wait!!!

Sleepover Cake

This recent cake was for a sleepover birthday. The birthday girl requested rainbow chip cake and cotton candy buttercream.

Hope she had a fun-filled birthday!
