Faith, Trust, and a little Pixie Dust!

My little pixie has been fascinated with fairies since she was little, so it was an absolute MUST to have a TinkerBell inspired party for her fourth birthday. We were living in upstate NY at the time and her birthday is in February, so as much as I envisioned a sunny day with a canopy of leafy trees and blooming flowers, I had to settle with the gym owned by the fire hall. We had a great time and supplied the little fairies with wings, glitter, and a flower halo.

Like I said - fire hall gym - but with fabric and balloon really helped make the space a little more attractive!

The food was themed. The snack mix had graham butterflies in in. The pretzel (fairy wands) were iced and sprinkled.

In a gym there was plenty of sitting! Inexpensive tulle gave much needed color

The kids designed fairy houses with potting soil cups, pom poms, sequins.

Fairies Beauty Salon - face painting, wings, and flower headbands (boys could have pirate hats!)

My little Birthday Pixie!

I wanted a little more "grown-up" look with the centerpieces

For favors each fairy received a fairy book (Target dollar bins) and Pixie Dust. I had bought a 5 pound bag of hair glitter when a kids salon had gone out of business and filled up spice containers. Silver paint pen and some glittery flower stickers and voila!

It wasn't exactly what I envisioned but my daughter and her friends still had an amazing time. Here are some other ideas for a fairy themed party to help get you and your little fairy on your way to Neverland!

Cakes! Cakes! Cakes!

Before I was working outside the home I fancied myself a cake decorator.  I ran out of time to jump into the business with both feet, but I still like to be creative and look for great ideas.  These are some of my own creations.

Merry Christmas!

One of my favorites the whole thing is covered in chocolate ganache and the scrolls are coffee buttercream.

Yes, those are diapers! I love this for a baby shower!

My first wedding cake...the star gazers took me hours of hand painting, but I LOVED them!

This cake weighed a ton.  White chocolate and raspberry cake with white chocolate-rasberry/cream cheese frosting. Do NOT eat this if you are dieting!

Wedding cake for 250 people.  The filling was fresh strawberries.  Note to self: Strawberries sweat through fondant!

One client requested a watch.  I did my best!

Love, love, love this.  Pumpkin spice cake.  Tasted and looked amazing!

Ice Pink & Snowflakes

All ready for spring!

This was so much fun for summer. Margarita cake in the shape of flip-flops!
