And since this was for a 1st birthday, here is the sweet little smash cake. :)

Grinch Themed Dessert Table

This weekend I designed a dessert table for a good friend of mine who threw her little boy a fabulous first birthday party. Jenny is a very creative girl with a great party mind, lots of love for her little boy and a sweet husband who will play along. ;)

The theme was The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I love the premise of the party which is that the Grinch stole Christmas for the greater good...for all those little boys and girls whose birthdays fall at Christmas. Steal Christmas to give them back the spotlight. ;) Jenny definitely succeeded in putting the spotlight on her little boy with all the hardwork she put into the party. This dessert table is just a small part of a great party put on by a even greater mommy!!!

Happy Birthday Rhett!! Welcome to single digits!!!

Recognize the backdrop? Its from the Wrap and Wine. Since I was sticking to the red and green color scheme I thought it would make a perfect backdrop.

All the desserts were things the Grinch stole from the Whos.

First off, their ornaments (cake balls).

The Who's presents...

Pudding from the Whos' feast....

Cookies and milk that the Whos left out for Santa...

Jello from the Whos' feast...

Rhett's smash cake...

The main birthday cake...

Happy 1st Birthday Rhett!!!

Children's Storybook Cake

This sweet little storybook cake was created for my friend Delaine who is due (in three weeks) with her first baby. Today was her shower to celebrate her and her little boy who will be arriving any day now! Guests were asked to bring a book in lieu of a card to help start a nice collection of books for the family. And the theme for the cake was born!

I tried to incorporate some of the most popular children's books out there...

The Poky Little Puppy

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie

Where The Wild Things Are

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

And no storybook cake would be complete without representation from Mother Goose and Dr Seuss, so I paired up the two to top it all off!

Congrats sweet Delaine! We can't wait to meet your little man!!!!

Dr Seuss

Cat In The Hat with a side of Green Eggs and Ham!! :)

Tomorrow morning my daughter's preschool class is having a Cat In The Hat party to celebrate Dr Seuss and all his imaginative rhymes. I LOVE Dr Seuss books and always have so much fun trying to recreate elements from his books into cake form. :)

Here is hoping the kids enjoy their party tomorrow and that I get this bad boy to the school without any cake blunders!!! :)
