"It's My Party" Dessert Table for 6th Birthday Party

Hi all. Today I'd like to share with you my daughter's 6th birthday party.

The theme I chose was "It's My Party" with a modern princess twist.

I designed all the printables, made all the food, did the decorations, coordinated the games and activities and took the photos. Yes, I am crazy!

It was a big, big effort, but my daughter, Lily, was very appreciative and had a great time – which made it all worthwhile.

Printables will be available in my Etsy store, Sweet Scarlet Designs soon. Just buy, download, print and created yourself. Print That Party!

"It's My Party" Themed Dessert Table

The jelly (Jello) cups were a hit. They are easy, economical and they add great colour to the table.

The food had pink theme as well and I made sure I healthy options as well. I also had a separate "Parents Table" with adult versions of the food and tea and coffee. I had to have a large table and lots for food as I was catering for 16 party guests and their parents.

This is the vision I had for the theme. I wanted my daughter to wear a custom-designed t-shirt that said "It's My Party". The modern princess look came from the crown design. The t-shirt transfer printable will be available in my Etsy store soon.

The cake! I kept the design quite minimal as I knew I would be short on time. It's a two-tier butter cake with raspberry buttercream filling. The bottom tier is covered with royal icing and the top tier with fondant. The crown is made from gumpaste and painted with edible metallic paint.

Invitations, party dots, cupcake toppers, food and drink labels, bunting, thank you dots, t-shirt transfer and more will be available as DIY printables in my Etsy store soon. Just buy, download, print and create. Easy.

Our face painter and fairy extraordinaire, Miss Abigail,  did a fantastic job. All 16 guests had a custom face paint design and  they loved it!

Sour Cream Chocolate Cupcake with Nutella Hazelnut Buttercream

I was inspired by some Swiss Hazelnut Ice Cream I recently had, so I added Nutella and coffee to my regular buttercream recipe for that hazelnut taste.

Next time I think I will roast the hazelnuts and ground them up to a maize, then add them to the buttercream.

They were still good though!

Hi all, welcome to my very first blog post.

Mother's Day High Tea

Mother's Day Buttercream Rose Cupcake Bouquet

Stay tuned, I will be posting a how-to-tutorial on this Cupcake Bouquet this week.

All you need to make these pretty gumpaste roses is a small round cutter. I thin the edges of the petals between my fingers, no need for ball tools or forming mats.
