today's cake was for a set of twins' first birthday. the daisy was for the guests and each twin got her own leaf--just the right size for little hands to dig right into! the leaves and cake are iced in buttercream, with the daisy petals and center in fondant. this is one of those cakes that immediately went into my personal faves.
yum!

i'm getting ready for eating around town today and just wanted to post one more turkey day treat. my kids like to make these after dinner and gobble them right up! two oreos (stuff side only), candy corn, and a malted milk ball--a great way to use up some of that left over candy from halloween...
happy turkey day!

these were such a hit last year that my sil wanted a set for thanksgiving dinner at her parents' house this year. i made them again for our kids' table, too--it's been a year, so hopefully the answers won't be too easy or boring! i'll probably make a new one next year, though--and one for christmas this year too...
happy eating tomorrow!

this invitation came to life originally for colleen's birthday 3 1/2 years ago, and immediately became an all time favorite. so when asked if i could do a gardening party invite, i quickly forwarded the pics of it--i love when i get a chance to re-create an old favorite!
they also asked for matching thank you notes, which was equally as fun to create! something old & something new...

this is one of the many invitations i've printed recently, for the baptism of a new baby boy. classic details, like the monogram, script font, and simple blue cross, set the tone. and the blue ribbon tie closure added interest and the perfect finishing touch--with my favorite a muse ribbon, of course! the same design could also be used for a sweet baby girl by changing the blue to pink, and it would make a great birth announcement, too!

another weekend, another cake! when i do one, several always seem to follow and then i get a break for a while. this one was for a t-shirt party at a silk screen shop, so of course the cake needed to be an edible t-shirt. i think the eleven year olds enjoyed making their shirts and eating one too!
mignon was going to this party, so i just had to create a quickie gift tag to fit the theme. coincidentally, her "gift of the year" is a t-shirt from another screenprinting shop in town, so the tag was a perfect match to the gift, too!
