Spiderman Birthday

My little boy turned five years old last weekend and he wanted a Spiderman party. So my wheels got a turnning and out came the games, cake, and decorations. So lets start with the cake, I found a cake kit on http://www.ebay.com/ which made making the cake really easy. the only problem was that I couldn't follow the directions just like they where sent so I changed a few things using fondant and buttercream. the games are always the best party of a party so for this party everything had Spiderman. Starting with the Spiderman cupcake-walk. I cut out GIANT spiderman heads and put numbers on top of them. the children walked around the circle till the music stopped at which time a number was draw out of a bag and the person on the number won a cupcake. Then I bought tatooes online of course my favorite store ebay again, and I found a punching bag and beach balls at the dollar tree. I had them out for the kids to do whenever they had time. one of the favorite games is kill the...

Dragon Birthday

My husband is turning 40 on the 4th of July and he really loves dragons. So for this years party I decided to go with a dragon theme. The cake looks really hard to make but it was sooooooooooooooo simple. the night before I melted orange chocolate and then piped the spikes, toe nails, and the wings. To make the wings look really magical while it was still warm I sprinkled some orange halloween sprinkes. Then using the Wilton cuddle teddy bear pan I cooked a pound cake (very important to use a pound cake when doing a 3-D cake). this is a close up of the cool wings. I think this is my favorite part. Finially I cut the ears off and made rice crispy treats for the tail. Whipped up a batch of frosting and started having fun pipping the stars. I love this pan there are so many different cakes you can make with it. The newest thing out there right now is cookie pops. They are kinda like the cake pop but more labor invovled in them. The first thing I did was bake sugar cookies into the...

Star Trek Quilt

I have always been a fan of Star Trek, from the original series to Deep Space Nine. Star Trek has always been a go-to when I wanted to find something to watch on TV. So, when I saw that Fandom Stitches had a paper piecing quilt pattern, I knew that it was time to learn a new sewing skill. I started by searching YouTube for videos on how to paper piece. No joking around, I probably spent 20+ hours watching videos until I felt I was ready to give it a try. I'm not crazy, though I didn't start with the Star Trek one, but picked a pattern on their site that said it was easy to start with. After a few restarts and a lot of seam ripping, I finally felt I was ready to give it a try. I have to give credit where it is due, so here is a link to the Famdom In Stitches website where I found the pattern. http://www.fandominstitches.com/2011/04/star-trek.html To start this process, I printed off all the patterns and got them organized by each series. This was important because I knew tha...
