Tangled cake



















I made this cake to go with the theme of my daughter's 5th birthday party.  She loves the movie "Tangled", so that was the theme of the party.   I decided to make the tower from the movie.  She absolutely loved it!!  I got the idea for this cake from here.  She is truly amazing.

Tangled Birthday Party

 To celebrate my daughter's 5th birthday I put together a "Tangled Birthday Party".   She just loves this movie, so how could I resist.  This picture here shows all of the decoration and goodies for the party.  For decorations I made the flags from the movie, the purple triangles with the sun in the middle.  For the table we had a purple table cloth, of course.  I also made pascal party blowers.  The gift bags were a lot fun.  On the outside of the bag, was a wanted poster with their name on it, and inside we had paints for Rapunzel's paints, a yellow duck from the "Snuggly Duckling" pub.  And one of my duaghters favorite things, bubbles.  Who doesn't love bubbles, right.  Next the cake.  I just love to make cakes, and I knew right off that I wanted to make Rapunzel's tower.  The only thing I wish was that I had had more time to work on it.  I would have loved to have given it a little more detail.  But my daughter was absolutely thrilled with it just the way it was.  I also made some cake bites in the shape of apples, because Maximus loved apples, and I made crown shaped rice crispy treats.   As for games,  we played "pin the nose on Flin".  We blindfolded the kids and then spun them around a few times.  It was really cute.  We also had a pinata, and the kids had a lot of fun with that, too. I can't take credit for all of these great ideas, because most of them I found online. I got ideas for the party from here, here and here

Easter Ideas

Easter t-shirts
Fabric eggs

Birthday Girl t-shirt

I made this shirt for my daughter's 5th birthday party.  I just love how it turned out.  I can't wait to see her in it, on her special day.  I borrowed my mother-in-law's embroidery machine and did the words "Birthday Girl and 5" then I used my cricut machine to cut out the cupcake.  I then hand stitched around the cupcake and the sprinkles. 

Cowboy cake

A friend of mine asked me to make a simple cowboy theme cake.  So this is what I came up with.  A cow print to cover the cake and then some rope to go around it.  Easy but cute.

Fabric eggs

I love these fabric eggs.  I had a cute little Easter basket and nothing to fill it with.  So I took some plastic eggs and covered them with cute fabric.  I just used modge podge to put the fabric onto the egg.  Loved them. 

Easter shirts

I know that I am incredible late in posting this but I thought I would anyway.  I made these cute matching t-shirts for my daughters for Easter.  I used a design I already had and just made a few changes.  I cut out the fabric, and then hand stitched around everything.  I thought they were adorable.
