“It’s Me, Hi, I’m The Birthday Girl!”. We are in our Taylor Swift era. So naturally, for her birthday, my daughter wanted all things Taylor. Sarah came through as usual, she does all of our cake toppers (isn’t she amazing?!?!). All I said was, Taylor Swift, sparkles, and FUN! Needless to say, this cake was […]

By the time those summer birthdays come around in our family, I am burnt out. My daughter loves chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, so I whipped up this fun little cake with rainbow frosting. And just because you’re celebrating a birthday, doesn’t mean you have to bake. How cute is this stack of frosted (!!) […]

Every year for the kids, I get them one “fancy” cake (read: professional), and then one cake that I make. My son has been very in to making paper airplanes, so naturally, I made him paper airplane cake toppers. I Googled some colorful maps, printed them out and carefully folded them into small planes. I […]

Can I be honest for a minute? The one thing I actually don’t mind about the pandemic is that birthday parties have gone away. (EEK, I admitted it!) The BIG ones, the ones where you invite the whole class, you know what I’m talking about. And if you had more than one kid, forget about […]

Finish this sentence: “You know you’re a mom when…” Mine is when you pick up your own birthday cake. Since this was a big birthday for me, I decided to go big or go home. That means, not just one cake, but three. And my husband came through with a cake as well, even if […]

Don’t worry mom, not my baby. We ended 2019 with a whirlwind of parties. We went right from Thanksgiving to a baby shower, then a kid’s holiday party with Santa, a neighborhood adults only party where I cooked for 40 people, Christmas Eve with the cousins and Christmas Day with good friends. I needed most […]

For my son’s 2nd birthday, we went with a safari theme. My good friend made him this adorable cake, complete with elephant, giraffe, monkey and lion. Here’s a closer look at the top of the cake. And that cute little party lion on the side! I don’t even want to tell you how many leaves […]

My kids have really been into dinosaurs these days. When my daughter turned 2, we threw her a dinosaur themed party. My mom makes the kids cookies with their age on them every year. Just a simple sugar cookie recipe with Betty Crocker vanilla icing and sprinkles. I bought the Caspari “partysaurus” plates and napkins […]
