St Patrick's Day Party!

New Years Clock Dessert/Cake Stand

My clock in my office quick working and I was ready to throw it away when I started to think of what I could use it for. Then the idea hit. People always decorate with clock for New Years. I decided I would make a dessert/cake stand. 

I started out with my broken clock and a candlestick that I found on clearance at Michael's Crafts after Halloween.

I took the clock apart and really washed and scrubbed the glass and rim.

I then put a vinyl Happy New Year in the center. You could always use a stencil to do this too.

 I then glued the hands back onto the clock. I set it just a couple of minutes before midnight!

 

 I took a noise maker and glued it onto the face of the clock. I also took some silver tinsel that I got on clearance after Christmas and curled it with scissors and sprinkled it around.

I took and sprinkled silver glitter all over the face. You could add whatever you wanted on it.

I then put the washed and sanitized glass and  rim back on the clock.

I used a glue gun to attach the candlestick to the bottom of the clock.

 The final step was to add some goodies to my dessert/cake stand.

I was very excited how my New Years Server turned out!

This is where I purchase my vinyl

 

Tigger Cake

A Tigger Cake for my grandson's 1st Birthday!

 You can see on his face he was in deep thought while eating this cake.

Gorgeous little Birthday Boy!

I started with orange gumpaste. I formed a head, ears, legs, body, arms and a tail. I took a wood skewer and inserted into the body so that I could attached the head.

Next I took the head and cut an opening for the mouth.

Zebra Cake Party

This zebra cake I made for my daughters baby shower. It was my very first fondant cake and probably the easiest. I think it was beginners luck cause I have yet to make a cake as easy as this one.

Denture Cake

I have seen a couple of these cakes and so I knew I had to do one for my husbands 51st Birthday.

Sparky cake from Frankenweenie

This week I made an 18" life size Sparky cake from the Frankenweenie movie. It was red velvet with buttercream and covered in fondant.

Skull Candlestick Holder

Day 15

Wow the month is half over and I have so much I want to share. A BIG THANKS to all of you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! Now on to my next project.

 

I hit the thrift and dollar store and found some great finds. I put them all together and this is what I got!

I got the gold candle stick holder at the thrift store for two dollars. The single candle holder and the skull I got at the dollar store. This can be done with any similar items.

Avengers Cake

Just wanted to share my Avengers cake that I made for a cute little five year old. It was a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting

Gory Hand Salad Tongs

Day 17

Today's project would be fun for any Halloween party. 

Gory Hand Salad Tongs

Halloween Party Drinks

Day 7

Sometimes we just don't have time to make and print our own labels and you want to have some fun party drinks. I found a site that you can just order some fun drinks with fun labels. If this is a family friendly party be careful what you order, some of the bottles would be inappropriate for that. Here are two cute ones I liked.

Chocolate Graveyard Bundt Cake

 Day 2


 This is a great little dessert when you need something quick. It would also make a great little treat for a neighbor, teacher or party, you name it.

I first purchased both these items at the dollar store and then washed them with some dish soap since they would go on the cake.

 Then I purchased this yummy Triple Chocolate Fudge bundt cake from Smiths for only $2.99 and it really is yummy and moist!

Firecracker Flag Cake

This is a strawberry and vanilla layered cake with homemade whipped cream. I added red beads around the bottom and I used toilet paper rolls to make the firecrackers.
