Alien Conquest

This post marks the 4 year anniversary of Blue Cupcake (this is insane!!!!!), 4 years of documenting my baking projects on this blog. Thank you so much for following my adventure! There are so many fantastic cake and baking websites, I feel privileged that you choose to stop by this address once in a while or on a regular basis. You are the reason why I keep doing this work, which I do out of passion. Thank you, THANK YOU!

What a great day we just had! My son, who will turn 7 in a few days, celebrated with a (Lego inspired) Alien Conquest themed birthday. Leesa from Send In The Clowns designed a fun invitation that gave the tone to the event. As usual, I like to get my kids' input before starting the planning process. They have so many ideas!

A few months ago, he came up with the idea of making a Jelly Bean cake... Sounds fun, so why not give it a try! Let's mix that with his favorite Lego sets, his two favorite colors, candy (he looooves candy, and I am one of those moms who limits sugar to a minimum, so that was a super treat), really fun games, his best friends, and we have a party!

Thanks to Leesa (Send In The Clowns) and Jackie (Hollywood Candy Girls) for adding your magic touches in making this day extra special!

The Jelly Bean cake

Jello was on the wish list!

We have a lime tree in the yard, so limeade it is.

Aliens abducting cake!

Hubby made the flying saucers. They looked perfect!

THANK YOU!

Loving Instagram

Maybe I am a little late joining the fun, but I am so happy to finally have taken the time to play with Instagram! After my friend wrote about it last week, I said this is it! Finally I can do something fun with the pictures from my phone (because trust me, there are a lot!). And the result is magic... Such pretty images, that I would have never been able to share before. Some of my favorites from the past few weeks...

Superheroes

It is always so much fun to celebrate our Super Heros! Here is a cake I did for Super Maddie, and the cupcakes and other sweet treats below were fit for Super Noah. If you are planning a Superhero party, you can also look at this cupcake tower. Enjoy!

Mermaid Cake

This cake was designed for the birthday of this lovely young lady who did her internship with me. The cake is based on the invitation she created for the event. I had a great time making the mermaids and all the sparkly details! (Sorry those are not the best pictures, I took them in a rush with horrible light...)
