More from... My Daughter's Birthday Party! Impression Silver!

I said I was going to post a few things from my daughter's party and I haven't gotten to it as quickly as I wanted! I am right in the middle of all my kids birthday celebrations. M is my first one and the oldest. Her birthday is in February. E is my youngest, she has just turned 2 and her party is coming up. Her birthday is in March, of course. Then K is my middle one. His birthday is at the beginning of April. So right in the middle am I, soon to have one over and then only one more to go. :) It's a busy season at home and work. I love to plan my kids parties though, I want them to know they are special and that day is all about them.

So on to my oldest... Her party is over, I showed you all the banner. Now I am going to tell you about the activity we had. This was just the most fun thing ever! The girls all made their own piece of silver jewelry! M loved it and so did I! If you have a chance to do it, you totally should. I will give more information at the end on how to do that. Here is the website though in case you can't wait! Impression Silver!

Here the kids are picking out the mold they want to use.

Here M has already rolled her silver clay out and pressed it into the mold.

She is cleaning up the mold to get a clean piece.

This is M's finished charm.

This is one that I made. Isn't it cute!?!

Like I said before, M looooved doing this at her party and I did too! It would be a great activity for any kind of party. They stay with you the whole time to make sure you know what to do and help if you need it. They also fire the piece for you and you leave with your charm right away!  Impression Silver teaches classes at Hobby Lobby, the Gilbert Location. They also have classes at their office. You can find all of the information on the website and a video that shows the whole process as well.

Fundraising for Kate

Some of our lovely local ladies are putting on a fundraiser for Kate McRae. If you have not heard of Kate and her story.. she is a little girl from Arizona. She and her family go to my church, Cornerstone, her dad is actually one of our pastors. She was diagnosed with cancer and has had a recurrence. She is undergoing treatment for the 2nd time.

A Fun Wedding...

So my wedding from this past week was a lot of fun. The main cake was a 6 inch topper. This cake was completely vegan for the bride; vegan red velvet and vegan butter cream. Then there were 100 + cupcakes baked in three flavors. Red Velvet, Chocolate Chip and White Sour Cream. There were all covered in butter cream and had fondant polka dots in the brides colors.

The really fun part is the bride ordered a groom's cake as a surprise. She did really well and he didn't know about it. She came out to meet me when I got there with the cakes though, (which was great to see her because I usually drop everything off and go never seeing any of the bridal party). She saw the groom's cake and loved it. I was so happy about that. She decided we should show it to the groom right away so I followed her to him and we showed him. He thought it was a real hat and almost tried to pick it up. :) I think it's safe to say he loved his cake!

This is the Ed Hardy themed groom's cake. I hand painted the geisha on the front.

This shows both cakes and the set up.

This week I was able to paint on most of my cakes and it just reminded me of how much I love to paint! I have never painted on anything but cake but it's so much fun!

Thanks for checking it out and Congrats to Adrian and Jayare! The wedding location was so pretty and the wedding party very helpful too! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your big day!
