Birthday Preparations

My Sani is going to be 3 years old on July 2nd. We are planning a birthday party for her and we're really excited to begin our preparations. 

I was thinking more along the lines of princess theme, but since she has a mind of her own she decided that she wanted her birthday party to be of Daisy Duck.The whole theme colors will be pink, white, and purple.

While looking around Etsy and Pinterest I found a few inspirational ideas for her party.

We're thinking of having some cupcakes to avoid the mess of actually cutting a cake with some pretty little bows to match the Daisy Bowtique theme.

We also liked this cake (the 2nd tier) but something a little smaller and personal just for taking pictures of her blowing out her candles.

I went to Wal-Mart and found some pink and purple ribbon to match the theme ... and now I am so excited because I want to see if I can sew her a little outfit for her special day.

Then it hit me...I came across this website, Sew Like My Mom, and found an outfit I want to make her. Not sure if I ever expressed my LOVE for rompers. Well if I haven't, then let me tell you that during the summer I am in LOVE with rompers. I think they are so cute, comfortable and help you stay very cool. Since Sani's birthday is in the summer and we're going with the whole bowtique theme, I was thinking of some type of bedazzled romper with long stranded pearls like the one on Sew Like My Mom's blog.

Isn't she just adorable? Not to mention her little outfit and pearls. 

What would go better with this romper than a pair of matching sandals like these?

Minnie Mouse Cake

I must admit that I am BEAT! What a night last night and what a day today.

Let me start by saying that last night I went to sleep at 1am, on a work night, which is very unusual for me considering that I <3 to sleep. My husband went to sleep even later, which he always does anyways, since we went through the trouble of trying to make a Minnie Mouse cake at the last minute. I love baking and making the fondant cakes, however I have to have the time to dedicate to them while I am doing them. Those things are so time consuming. It's amazing how long it takes to bake a cake and how fast it gets eaten. Breaks my heart every time.

To make a long story short, I had to wake up early to deliver it and I had to be at work early too for a delivery I was expecting. Overall I am just so thankful that it is Friday and that I finally get to kick my feet up and relax.

Where was I, oh yeah, the cake. Well I think it came out pretty good. My son LOVES Mickey Mouse and my daughter loves anything Minnie Mouse or Princess. Therefore, you can imagine what a great time we had making this cake with them nearby. They both wanted to play with Minnie. Upon delivery, my son began crying because he wanted to go to the party. More specifically, he wanted to go to the party because he thought that he would be able to try the cake if he went. All in all, I'm excited with the outcome of it. What do you think?...well you can be the judge of it. ;)

Ta-ta for now, I think I shall take a nap.
