3-D Holiday Treats

An idea for a holiday gift is a sweet treat.  Here are some gifts ordered by a client for their nieces and nephews.  It's a step up of from just a flat cookie, this is from our 3-D collection.

Happy Halloween

Here is the set up for a party for Halloween.
























The menu included zombie bones with barracuda blood, witches brooms, goblin grins, P,B & G's (ghosts), sand"witches", and wiggly worms.

Some of the treats were cake pops and sugar cookies.  The beverages were juice boxes for the kids and apple cider martinis for the adults.

There was ghost bowling and prizes.  The children also had a Thanksgiving craft to do and take home. The turkey feathers were on a cut out of their own handprints.

The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay

I had a request for a Hunger Games cake, but have not read the series.  Knowing that the client had read all three, I tried to incorporate each cover into the cake.

I used the Hunger Games logo which was hand painted, the flames to represent Catching Fire, and made the icing a pale blue to represent Mockingjay.

More Than Meets The Eye...

Transformers cake decorated with a combination of icing and fondant.  Gears on the sides added an extra element of machine and robot.

It Was A Hoot

Here are some images from an owl and storybook baby shower .

We created an invitation to look like a storybook.

Simple floral centerpieces and hand-dyed apricot and aqua pom-poms.
Favors for the party were sugar cookie.  Onsies, duckies, teddy bear, buggies, & owls.
The menu and the spread.
Some of the decor included a banner of bibs and onsies.
The owl cake for dessert was a mixture of fondant and icing.

Brave Vs. Power Rangers

How do you make a cake for a girl who wants a Brave them and a boy who wants a Power Rangers theme?  This is how...

We designed half of the cake as Brave and The other half as Power Rangers.  The birthday boy and girl sat opposite on their respective sides of the cake.  Each blew out the candles at the same time.

We "Mustache" You To Have A Happy Birthday

This is a mustache cake we created for a birthday party.  Now that mustache parties are a trend, it was bound to happen.  This cake was a ton of fun to make.

Glad To Be A Grad!

Here is a graduation cake we did that celebrates, not only what the graduate had done, but where he is going.  We created a graduation cap that replicated the one he wore from his high school graduation.  We recreated a prestigious award he had won and added some words of encouragement.  Finally, we created an argyle pattern on the sides of the cake (which had significance to the graduate and his friends).  The argyle was made of colors that represent the college he will be attending in the fall.

We've Got Ears, Say Cheers

This is a birthday celebration with a Mickey Mouse theme.

The cake and the invitation.  The text on the invite was in Disney font.



Treats, favours, and decorations for the party.  Treats were hand dipped oreos, the favours were Mickey ears and chocolate cupcakes to take home.  The decor was simple with banners, balloons, and pom pons.

Camping & Fishing

Here is a cake we did for a first birthday celebration with a camping and fishing theme.

We used a combination of rock candy, ice cream cones, brown sugar, and more to achieve this look. 

Did Someone Say Hockey?

Here is a cake we made for a 3 year old's hockey themed birthday party.

The hockey goals were made from red licorice and royal icing.

Celebrating Summer

This was a cake made for a summer party.

I iced it with a fresh whipped cream frosting and topped it with fresh sliced strawberries.

The kids loved it and so did the adults!

The cake is a recipe seen on The Martha Stewart Show, rainbow cake.

Two Brothers, Two Birthdays, One Cake

This party was for two brothers who's birthdays are only a day apart and each other.  Understandably, they each wanted a different super hero on their cake.  The original design had two tiers, one for each super hero.  At final count, the amount of guests did not warrant a two tiered cake.  That is a lot of cake!  After brainstorming, we came up with a common element between Spider Man and Batman, a metropolitain setting.

 The Spider-Man element.

He was scaling a building and shooting a web.

The Batman element.

Ducky Baby Shower

    

For this event, we did the favors.  Obviously a rubber ducky theme.  We requested an invitation to coordinate the favor tags.  These were the set of 4 - 2" - 5" cookie bags.  We did large and small ducks, onsies, and flowers.

Mirror Mirror Party

The party was at a movie theater.  The girls watched the movie, then had pizza and finally enjoyed the desert table from B Design.  The dessert table was located in a private party room.  The back drop was a mirror and blossom branches with apple decorations on them.

"Poison Apples" cupcakes

I found these on Pinterest and they became the inspiration for the Mirror Mirror party.  (Please check our Pinterest Board for original links).  

This is an example of the custom favor bag for all of the party guests created by B Design.

Snow White's Crown sugar cookies 

Pirouettes were Enchanted Forest Tree Trunks

Red Vines doubled as Slayed Beast Tail

Hershey's Kisses were True Love's Kisses

Candy rings were used for the Seven Dwarf's Loot

Puppy Love Potion wax bottle candy

A Gentleman's Cake

We created a clean, yet detailed cake for this birthday.  The recipient is a lover malted milk balls and we saw this idea on Pinterest, so it was a perfect fit.  The cake we found was spiced and we wanted to use a chocolate cake, so we changed it out for our moist chocolate cake and used chocolate buttercream frosting to hold on the candies.  An understated way to incorporate someones favorite candy in a sophisticated way.
