Year of the DRAGON

This colorful dragon cake was created for Gavin who is turning ONE!! Gavin is half Korean and in Korean culture the first birthday is a big deal, so Gavin's mama wanted a perfect, meaningful cake. :)

Gavin was born in the year of the dragon, which is considered very lucky in Asian culture. He was also born on Valentines day so he is mama's little "love dragon". She wanted something that incorporated a dragon, a little bit of Valentines day AND the stripes on Gavin's hanbock (a traditional Korean outfit) that he would be wearing at his birthday party.

And so...this little striped, love dragon cake was created! :)

A little smash cake to match...

Happy First Birthday Gavin!!! (you little love dragon!) ;))

Ballerina Baby Shower Dessert Table

"Is a good thing you like the color pink Mommy, 'cause you're making A LOT of pink things!!"

(Said my sweet little Olivia yesterday as I was working on this table)

And WHOA was she right!! THAT was a lot of pink!!! ;) But it wasn't TUTU much because they're HAVING A GIRL!!

And how do you celebrate your first little baby girl?

You splash pink decorations all over the room, gather friends and indulge on PINK desserts.

(that's where I come in) ;)

The expectant mama has a real passion for dance and loves Angelina Ballerina. They wanted sweet, pink, ballet themed yumminess on a table and that's just what they got!

I had SO much fun putting together this table because as my sweet Olivia pointed out, I LOVE pink!

I will admit however that the tutu table skirt nearly killed me. I never want to work with that much tulle again!! (*picture yards and yards of tulle, an abundance of static electricity and one innocent little baker, ME, caught in the middle of it all*) It was annoying, that's all I'm trying to say. ;)

BUT other than that I just had "tutu" much fun.

Big thank you to Amanda of Amanda's Parties To Go for helping me with this NEW adorable Ballerina collection. It added just the right touch!! Check out her shop. She is AMAZING!!!!

Ok, so enough of the blah blah blah. Show us the pictures!!!!!!
