Happy 1st Birthday Cameron!

Happy 1st Birthday cute little Cameron!!  I got the privilege of making the smash cake for Cameron's 1st birthday photoshoot shot by the amazingly talented Mieng!  I made a giant cupcake French Vanilla cake with a swiss meringue filling and basic buttercream on the outside.  Cameron is such a sweetheart and so happy and cute!!  I feel very special and honored to have been able to make this special cake for him, even though he didn't want to get dirty and smash the cake haha.  Cameron is such a cute, sweet and happy little boy!  He has the greatest parents and best big brother and sister ever!  Happy first birthday Cameron, here's to many many more fun memories and wonderful milestones!  

Happy Baby Shower Alvina!

Congratulations to my dearest friend Alvina and her husband Will on their coming arrival of their sweet baby girl Chloe!  This shower took place out of state, so it was a bit challenging trying to plan the party but I think I pulled it off pretty well, if I do say so myself.  I made green tea and vanilla macarons, and got all the other desserts from catering from Buca de Beppo.  I also bought a cake and did a makeover, a "cakeover" and removed the piping and added a gold trim and fresh beautiful flowers to fit the theme of the baby shower!  I created all the decorations and even recycled Leo's Prince diaper cake castle and transformed it into a Princess castle!  I was going to shop for some pretty flowers at a local flower shop but decided to check out the inventory at the supermarket since I was there to buy other supplies too, and luckily they had a nice variety, and best part is that it's much more affordable too!!  Overall, Alvina had an amazing time and felt very loved and pampered, mission accomplished!!  I'm so excited for you Alvina to embark on this new amazing journey as a mom, I know you will love Chloe with all your heart and show her the world!  Congratulations to Alvina and Will, I can't wait to meet Chloe!!

Leo's Baptism & 1 Month Celebration

Congratulations to my precious Prince Leo on his Baptism and 1 month celebration! I made all the decorations myself, and bought flowers from our local flower shop at Visser’s Florist. I also made all the desserts myself minus the cake which we got from our usual bakery, Givral. I decorated the cake though, and made panna cotta with fresh strawberries, kiwi and blueberries, mini chocolate cupcakes with swiss meringue frosting, vanilla macarons, orange blossom macarons, matcha green tea macarons, and strawberries filled with whipped cream cheese frosting. I also had Leo’s announcements printed out for everyone to take during the party!

My little prince Leo, I am so in love with you and so proud of you. You are so amazing in your strength and you are such an inspiration to watch. You’re such an incredible baby and I can’t wait to watch you grow even stronger, smarter, more brave, and healthier! I know you will grow up to be an amazing man, but until then, I will enjoy you being my precious little baby. I love you so much my wonderful baby Leo, congratulations on your baptism and everything you’ve accomplished so far!

Kaylie's Baby Shower

Congratulations to soon to be parents Phong and Cristie! We celebrated their baby girl's baby shower this past weekend and I got the pleasure and honor of making their cake!  Since I'm also pregnant myself and suppose to be taking it easy, I ordered a mixed berry cake from our favorite bakery, Givral, and decorated it.  I used gold ribbon for the base and edible white pearls for the sides of the cake.  I just got some beautiful white hydrangeas and mini pink roses and placed them on top of the cake.  The beautiful dessert table display was made by the mom to be, Cristie, and her family.  What a wonderful job they did!  The shower was very nice and we are so excited to meet little baby Kaylie end of June!  Congratulations to the happy couple Phong and Cristie!
