Bowling Birthday Party

This last spring we celebrated my son's 8th birthday. Since he is now officially 8 1/2 years old, I cannot procrastinate posting about his wonderfully fun party any longer. Spring in our house is always a very busy time with many family birthdays and holidays to prepare for and celebrate. And then before you know it summer arrives with more busy fun and birthdays. This year time seems to have escaped faster than before especially realizing my little baby is now 8, well 8 1/2.   

Cosmic Space Alien Glowing Cupcakes

If you do not already know, I love home birthday parties. I love all the crafting, cooking decorating, and baking that goes into creating a special celebration for one of my little ones.

Cars Lightening McQueen Cake

If you spend anytime with my nephew, you know he loves anything CARS.  One of my fondest memories happened last Thanksgiving evening after the celebration of day was winding down.  The kids settled in to watch a movie and snuggle with their stuffed animals.   Max declined an animal.   He was set- he had his matchbox cars to snuggle with.  So, it was no surprise that when he turned three, he had a CARS themed birthday party.  My sister in law was so sweet to let me to make Max his cake.

 At the time of the party, I did something a little new for me, a character cake on top of large 16" split and filled round.  The bottom cake was covered in fondant and the top character layer was decorated with butter cream. Since then I have made this cake which is another character cake on top of a large round.

Wilton Race Car Cake

This is the cake pan I used.  I modified the race car to create "Lightening McQueen." for the top.

The party was super fun and I am so glad I was able to celebrate!

Happy Creating,

Superhero Cape

Recently, my son wanted a Superhero party for his birthday.  To add to the party fun and to create a homemade party favor, I made some superhero capes.
