Happy 5th and 4th Birthday Justin & Hayley!

Happy 5th and 4th Birthday Justin & Hayley!!  I had the honor in making strawberry cake pops with fresh strawberry puree inside for two cuties!  The theme is Ariel from the Little Mermaid by Disney.  I used cardstock to print the image of Ariel on them, and then made the fins out of fondant and lightly painted some pink luster pearl dust on the fins the give it that mermaid shine.  I sprinkled some seashell theme sprinkles on the cake pop and decorated the trays with crushed graham crackers to look like the ocean floor and added some fondant sea shells as well to complete the look.  I had some leftover cake batter and so I made some cupcakes!  These two had a drive by birthday celebration and even though our visit to celebrate with the birthday stars were short, we were still able to the joy on their faces and got the opportunity to wish them a happy birthday from a socially safe distance!  I wish you two the best and happiest of birthdays so far, and it's such a joy to see you grow up and see your personalities develop!  Happy Birthday Justin and Hayley, hope you guys had a splashing good time!

Happy Golden 8th Birthday Lily & 5th Leo!

Happy golden 8th birthday to Lily and happy milestone 5th birthday to Leo!! With everything going on in the world right now, I had to make sure I made extra special cakes for these two extra special kiddies!!  Lily has her golden birthday this year and I made her a display cake with all her favorite things at the moment.  Her favorite color is blue, she loves Animal Crossing New Horizon on the Nintendo Switch with Lily and Bianca being her favorite characters, and the game Arms with Dr. Coyle and Lola Pop.  Her favorite movie is Sonic the Hedgehog live action and she loves Sonic and Amy and the gold rings go perfect with her golden birthday theme!  Everything is made out of paper for simplicity for such a complex theme and the Sonic and Amy characters are toys.  The blue flowers are fake flowers and the cake is Styrofoam covered in fondant.

For Leo's cake, it's his  special milestone 5th birthday!!  I made a display cake with all his current favorite things and that's Chuck E Cheese, Stacking cups, Maui from Moana, Peppa Pig and Bao from the Pixar short Bao!  I made all the decorations out of paper and used fake leaves to tie everything together and covered the cake in fondant.  I made the stacking cups with mini plastic cups and made a label and glued it onto the cups.  Right when Leo saw the cake, he immediately shouted "Chuck E Cheese!!!" and kept pointing at and yelling out everything he saw!  It made me so happy to see how excited and fixated he was with his cake!  I kept the cake out for two weeks and everyday it was the highlight of his day, just staring at the cake and pointing everything out on it! 

Happy special birthday to both Lily and Leo, my light and joy and loves of my life!!  I wish you both an amazing birthday and celebration, safe at home, and virtually with all your loved ones!!  You make me the luckiest and happiest mama ever!  I love you both so much, more than you'll ever know!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jace!

Happy 1st Birthday Jace!!!  You made a whole lap around the sun!!  I decorated a white vanilla velvet cake from Co-Op with handmade fondant jungle animals; a lion, elephant, tiger, giraffe, and an upside down monkey! I added some fake palm leaves onto the naked cake and attached a “Wild One” cake topper that I made from my cricut maker!  I originally baked a three tiered French Vanilla cake with Bavarian Cream with strawberries and blackberries for the filling with basic buttercream icing, but due to the unfamiliar elevation and humidity of Canada that I’m not use to, the cake cake out super fluffy and light, and when I added the third layer to the stack, it started to turn into the leaning tower of cake! 😭. So the last minute cake made due but I still had a chance to decorate it and we had some funny memories to remember and a great learning lesson!
Happy 1st Birthday Jace!!!  You are such a sweet happy baby and now toddler!!  You are so calm and amazing so so so so loved!  Your parents are doing such an amazing job raising such a well mannered happy spirited boy!!  I wish you many many more laps around the sun and I can’t wait to watch you grow up into an capable, strong, brilliant man!  I love you my favorite nephew Jace!!  Happy 1st birthday!!
