This is such a pretty setting for a young girl.A simple table runner and pastel coloured plates.Little pots with paper made flowers or the real ones if you prefer.A few candles and the home made pompoms(featured on an earlier post).Bunting always goes down a treat with little girls.This is a winner!

You defiantly cant go wrong with this theme for a children's party.Great for garden parties,just think paper lanterns,butterflies on trees,cover your garden in bright colours.Use bunting as banners,a really cheap way to make it is go to your local diy store and get as many samples of wallpaper,in as many different patterns as you can get away with.Cut them into triangles and attach to a piece of ribbon with a stapler or double sided tape.


OK i know its a bit early for Christmas but i love to be prepared.so i usually find my my self at this time of year planning for all the up coming occasions.so I'm always looking for inspiration like this.So get crafty and start revamping and customising your decorations.

Rainbow cupcakes :)

A bite of heaven!


My cupcakes <3

wedding inspiration


This is another awesome wedding idea.works brilliant with personalised things,like napkin's or chocolates.pick your colours then just go wild with inspiration.think strings of pearls,candelabras,flowers and sweets of course!

Kids food ideas


This is a cool idea,kids love them!Pity you cant stick veg on sticks and make it as attractive looking as this ha ha!
Its basically a Oreo with a skewer poked 3/4 the way through.for the red pants dip one half in coloured icing.and add two white icing buttons.And finally stick two buttons in the top for ears.

Cakes


This is my little pride and joy!I made this for my daughters 3rd birthday party and it looked lovely.She had a Minnie mouse/polka dot theme.

Cup cake bouquet


These are so simple to make you wouldn't believe it!all you need is a fancy box,some cocktail sticks,how many cup cakes depends on how big your box is.This one uses 7 decorated cupcakes(they don't have to be piped like this,what ever suits your ability) and some oasis.
Put the oasis in the box,a round shapes oasis works better,poke the sticks into the center of the cup cakes first then take them back out.Arrange the sticks into the oasis, remembering to leave enough room for the next cup cake.Then its a simple case of fitting them all in.Makes a great alternative to a cake stand!

Pompom flowers






These are so effective and very cheap to make.Jazz up ant table setting with a few pompoms,pins and some fish wire.job done!And you look like a professional :)

wedding inspiration

This is a must for weddings!Almost everybody loves sweets..and doesn't this look fab!I adore the LOVE sign and the glass jars are so pretty.You can use any coloured ribbon around the jars(which you can pick up from charity shops everywhere,and don't worry if the are all different shapes.I think it adds to the "Aladdin's cave" effect)fill with coloured sweets like bon bons or cola cubes .
Or for a children's party you could go bright and use skittles or millions.

cupcakes

These are great for kids parties,or even for easter.Fun and simple to make,and im sure the kids would love to get involved!Using my simple cupcake recipie (or cheat and use a packet mix) bake the cakes and let them cool.Then have lots of fun with marshmallows (pink and white) aranging them untill you are pleased with the end result!Oh and dont forget to draw on the eyes and nose with icing!
