The Continuation of the 5th Birthday Bash Marathon

So every good party has to have great food right ?!
And we first of all eat with our eyes...So here I am working on some pretty food wrappers

I started with cupcake wrappers
EVERYBODY likes a nice ,good chocolate cupcake right!
And how can you not LOVE it if it has a dress like this

Ever wondered why these decorative cupcake wrappers are so expensive?!
Well I know why-removing all the cut outs to reveal the design is a tedious work-but what won't I do so Sierra will have a pretty desert table,even remove piece by piece and by hand all the little pieces

How pretty is this little treat^^ ,ha?!

And you already saw the cake stand me and Sierra had previously made

So what has left is to show you the actual deserts :p

Here is the D e s e r t T a b l e

AND here is a laugh -check out what's missing?! The cupcakes lol

I forgot to put them on the cake stand :D

I discovered them been missing only after the party has ended

Here is what I did serve -

Banana Caramel Cream desert

Cherry Pana Cotta

Chocolate Fudge Cake with Orange Ganache

White Chocolate Lemon Italian Meringue Butter cream Macaroons

Chocolate Eggs

Almond Candy Eggs

Pink Popcorn

AND for the grand finale ......drums please......

From electriacal spools to AWESOME one of Cake stand

Sierra's birthday is fast approaching and I'm head over with preparations ....
I started early cause I have this annoying tendency to leave everything till the end and then pressuring myself to make all in a VERY short time period...so for ones in my life, I decided to start early and finish all in time .
I plan on a HUGE bash for her 5th B-Day party and the theme would be Beauty Salon cause this is what best describes my big princess-she is so girly and into beauty and fashion that how could I not to through her a party in this theme :)
I have really big plans for the activities which I hope I'll be able to actually forfill and I already collected a lot of ideas for the desert table too-thanks GOD to Pinterest and the variety in holds :)
and....Since I'm a former cake decorator ,of course there will be a cool girly cake (the design of the cake will remain a secret till after the party -I actually debating a couple of ideas in my head and yet to decide on the one I want to go with ..) BUT i DEF decided on the cake stand style!
I found a really neat stand from AppleTreeDesign called Dilly Dots while browsing the net -it was made of ceramic I think ,and was very fun and wimsy I went through their other stuff and got so inspired that I made up my mind on doing a cake stand of my own .
Making my own pottery is not my cup of tea ,but creating stuff using upcycled materials is so very ME ..... After a quick brain storm I immediately figured I want to use the electriacal spools my hubs brought from work to make my whimsy stand .
The spools are PERFECT for this task as they already as is sort of a cake stands-they have the bottom and upper trays and the middle pole that separates the tires-an awesome candidate which only needs the proper decoration....and that's where I come into the picture -I'm the perfect men for the decoration job
Check out how the magic happens :)
