What do you do when you have less than 48 hrs in between parties?<br />
<br />
Here is my great party transformation.<br />
<br />
The birthday girl wanted and Art + Camping theme and deemed it "Art Camp Party" herself. I chose to keep all of the greenery and "outside" stuff from the <a href="http://lillyjanebaking.blogspot.com/2015/10/where-wild-things-are-birthday-party.html">Wild Things Party</a>. We added more color, art and some "camp" elements.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Inside the foyer and throughout the other main party areas I created an "art gallery" using the birthday girl's own artwork. Grouping them much like a museum would, by subject or time period. I also mounted many of the smaller works on black cardstock to create the look of frames. </span></div>

This was my first formal wedding cake and I was so grateful I had the opportunity to make one! It was for 75 people and for a super, super adorable wedding. It was a very relaxed, bohemian wedding theme and the bride has requested a "naked" wedding cake. Each tier was approximately 6" tall. 6", 8" and 10" round 3-layer cakes!</div>

Funny thing is, her mom also text me and asked for a cake...so I lied to her mom. :)<br />
I knew the bride of 25 years would not really want 2 cakes and I knew her kids' cake would be first and perfect, so I told her I would gladly book her for later in the week.<br />
<br />
It was a cutest, perfect mini cake! 4" 3 layer on top, 6" 3 layer on bottom. Vanilla, vanilla. Their daughter told me their wedding colors were peach and light green. I had no idea the bridesmaids dresses had had bows on the back, but it worked out as a nice coincidence!<br />
<br />
Happy Anniversary to a lovely couple!!<br />

Momma had contacted me way back in the early part of the summer (or maybe late spring) to book her weekend in late August! We swapped ideas and solidified a plan about 6 weeks before the big day!<br />

Happy Birthday, S!!<br />

I was asked to create a cake for the gathering and had fun thinking back on my childhood playing this game and of my time working in the scrubs. Ended up with a 2-layer vanilla 1/4 sheet cake and vanilla bean buttercream frosting.<br />

The concept was to keep it girly, pink and gold with a little bit of the bold black and white. Brunch included yogurt parfait bar, bacon skewers, mini quiche, blueberry and banana muffins, and virgin mimosas. Congrats to the momma-to-be!<br />

Oh, so funny! Why, yes! This cake does have layers of raw tuna in it. Oh, I'm just so funny.<br />
<br />
So, I kept asking my mom what kind of cake I should make for my dad for his birthday. I had sort of decided chocolate & chocolate because I know he likes that combo. She finally told me he had joked a few times saying he should really throw down a challenge and ask me to make a fish cake for his birthday. Funny thing is I had pinned some about a year about thinking I'd hopefully get the chance to make one for him one day.<br />
<br />
So, without further ado...the fish cake. For my dad. Happy Birthday, Padre! Love you!<br />

I was so excited to put this together! It was even more thrilling to see it all final and to watch and listen to the young adults as they enjoyed their special night!<br />
<br />
There is something quite intoxicating to me about the sounds of clinking flatware and stemware; the low, happy sounds of friends (old and new) relaxing and chatting; mood-setting music softly strumming in the background; the smells of delicious food being served, mixed with candles burning, the scent of a season in the air; the vision of soft light, smiles; the visual of beautifully...almost artfully, presented settings and food. A dinner party is an all-encompassing sense-provoking experience.<br />
<br />
I wanted these young adults to know that this evening was unique, special and just for them!<br />
<br />
My friend and I identified a general look she identified with most, discussed a budget and I was off to the races! I wanted to make it on the more formal side of things but still maintain some whimsy and youthfulness.<br />
<br />
I think they enjoyed it and it was a delight to see them all decked out and listen to their party as we helped to serve them their courses!<br />

I had been asked to create some decorations. So, I came up with bunting in sherbet colors to hang on the brick archways surrounding the patio, next to the pool and also a little ice cream parlor style awning for the dessert table.<br />
<br />
Much to my dismay, BOTH cameras (did you see that?! I had back-up and still failed!) were either full/dead and I only got one picture! And it was only about 1/3 of the way into setting up, BUT I wanted to share it anyways.<br />
<br />
If you're having a party or get together, consider having Lilly Jane be your event planner!<br />

The wind was blowing pretty well this lovely evening, I hadn't finished putting out all the party fare either!! And I was not completely done setting up the awning. Oh well! Most important lesson re-learned...always check your cameras before leaving the house.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924031053991954523.post-50464783355198552972015-05-03T20:54:00.004-07:002015-05-03T20:54:35.419-07:00Summer Teacher Birthday CakesMy eldest child has 2 teachers. They both have summer birthdays. The room mom sent out an email informing us parents that we would be joining together to put together a little party and gift for them. I automatically offered to make the cakes. I went back and forth on what to do. I finally decided, even if it wasn't their actual birthdays, they still each needed their own cake and the kids would be fine with cupcakes. So chocolate with chocolate (because, who doesn't love chocolate?!), 2 6" 3-layer rounds and 18 cupcakes.<br />
<br />
Happy pretend birthdays to Ms. S and Ms. A!<br />

Don't worry, I'll wait here while you go google it. Ok, now that you're back, I had not heard of it either until a friend asked me if I could do some sort of Origami Yoda cake for her son's birthday. To be honest, this cake challenged me more than I feel like it should have! It seemed an easy enough concept. But, I think he turned out pretty cool looking. Happy Birthday, L!<br />
<br />
Cake details: 8" 4-layer (carved down a bit) red velvet cake, cream cheese frosting; fondant and Rice Krispy accents (the head is RKT).<br />

First up, I was asked to make an Elsa Rainbow cake. Elsa....Rainbow...it took a minute for my mind to put that one together. I eventually came up with the idea of Elsa throwing out a big ol' rainbow instead of frost and flakes.<br />

Next up, a sweet, adorable little girl (a friend of my middle child) was turning 3 and having an ice cream party! Her momma asked for some pastel colored macarons to go along with the ice cream bar and I chose to fill them with Neopolitan-inspired fillings (vanilla bean, raspberry, and chocolate swiss meringue buttercream).<br />

And finally, this month is the birthday of the Women's Organization at church (<a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/relief-society?lang=eng">see here</a>) and so it was decided we would celebrate with what else? Cake! It was too short of notice to put together enough cakes for 100 people, so I suggested we get 2 large Costco sheet cakes and I made toppers for them and added the borders in vanilla bean buttercream. Voila! HBD, RS!<br />

He is practically like a little brother to me and I was honored to come up these fun cupcakes for his big day! His wife and mother were planning the party around 1985 (and a little general 80's stuff) in honor of the year he was born.<br />
<br />
I decided to make 10 Mario Brothers cupcakes (Nintendo and Mario Bros were released in 1985--major seller that year!); 10 Calvin and Hobbes cupcakes (1985 was the first year it was nationally printed); 10-- "I heart 1985" plaques; and 10 Top Gun toppers (it was really released in 1986, but it is the birthday boy's favorite movie so we let it slide)<br />
<br />
These were so much fun to create! I think the Calvin and Hobbes were my favorites. But I'm also just partial to C&H.<br />
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, D!!!<br />
Details: 20 vanilla cupcakes, 20 chocolate cupcakes; 20 with vanilla bean buttercream, 20 with chocolate. It was all mix and match.<br />

Details: 5" round 2-layer vanilla cake, vanilla bean buttercream; fondant/gumpaste accents<br />
<br />
And yes, I know the #1 is backwards...I'm one of those weirdos who writes my ones like that, but I realized the error after I took the photo and turned it around :)<br />

Well, I was asked to make some of those "Eat Me" cupcakes for a lesson being taught in church yesterday that involved Alice and her choices. I don't know about the other folks there, but I would have definitely chosen to follow the directions on these cupcakes!<br />
Details: chocolate cupcakes, Vanilla bean buttercream, gumpaste toppers.<br />
