When Shawna, from Trio Events, asked me to create a cake and desserts for a join birthday party she was planning, I could not have been more thrilled! As always, Shawna planned this pirate and mermaid party to perfection.

It was really fun to come up with a concept for the cake that would merge the two themes together. Each of the kids had a smash cake to enjoy - and their daddy, who's birthday was just around the corner, had one as well! Here are pictures of the dessert table. You can find Trio Event on Facebook for more pictures of the decor.

Enjoy!

I have been waiting to post the pictures of this cake for a little while, and I am so happy to finally share! Ernae did the setup of this table because the event happened to be at the same day and time as the Cupcake Challenge, so I just saw it from my own eyes a few days ago. So here it is, a jewel inspired dessert table created by Trio Events.

We also got the chance to make a birthday cake for Perez Hilton birthday last night in Los Angeles. The Hollywood Candy Girls invited us to take part of their stunning candy display, could not have been more thrilled with the way the cake blended in so perfectly!

Blue fondant cake decorated with pink candy, topped with the guest of honor's edible puppy

This was our first time actually sculpting an animal of this size. Gabby (who used to intern with us) sculpted the puppy out of cereal treats and I finished it with piped buttercream to create the hair and added some fondant details.

Happy puppy! Sculpted dog covered in buttercream and fondant.

It's been so long since the last post, it is time to catch up! I have a lot of pictures to share, so let's start with this very special event - my baby girl's fourth birthday.

Those close to me know how much I like to have friends over and celebrate. So what better occasion to play party planner! First came the request of a fairy party from my daughter, followed by the research, online shopping late at night, sketching...

I turned to my friend Shawna (Trio Events) for the signage, banners, the fabulous kids table, and some unique decorative touches. A second before the guests walked in, the backyard's transformation into a magical fairy land was completed.

Yesterday, we took part in a fabulous Wizard of Oz party celebrating two little girls birthday. The event was planned by Leesa of Send in the Clowns and it was stunning in every way! After watching the movie with my sketch pad on hands, I decided to tell the story from the bottom to the top of the towers. From Dorothy's farm to her journey to Oz, I am proud to show you the pictures of our latest creation...
