Real Party Feature - Upsy Daisy Party

Hello :)

Today's ' real party' feature comes to us from ' Seven Little Wishes' in Perth and is a cute Upsy Daisy Birthday party.

Owners Mel and Toni have created a gorgeous, colourful set up filled with lots of little details.  I love how they have added a cute little flower to the donuts, very simple but looks super sweet.

The beautiful cake and other desserts were also made by Seven Little Wishes and the park location really helped set a perfect In the Night Garden scene.

Thanks Mel and Toni for submitting your party for us to share with our readers.  We wish you the best of luck with your new business!

Our Family Easter - Ethan's Dessert Table

Hello!

Apologies for it being so long between posts.  Very busy behind the scenes at Piece of Cake Parties & Celebrations & my son Ethan has also been really unwell so the poor old blog has been a little neglected.

I just wanted to pop in and share a few Easter snaps with you.  For those who have followed our blog or Facebook page for a while will know that we decided last year that Ethan would take full control of our Easter dessert table & decorations.  Ethan gets to decide on what the desserts will be & what decorations he wants to use and he sets it all up.  We loved this last year and this year was excellent as well.  He enjoys being creative and its cute to see him so proud of his achievements.

As Ethan has been unwell it was a nice simple one this year.  We had a roast for dinner and then we just had a small dessert, the kids made Oreo pops & Easter bunny biscuits and we purchased a lemon pie as well.

I hope you all had a lovely & happy Easter with your families.

Vintage Circus ~ Real Party Feature!

Today's real party feature comes to us from Melissa Lewis from Maney & Boons Sunday Afternoon.  A gorgeous Vintage Circus party for her sons Mayson & Kayden (these cuties happen to be my nephews, so we were lucky to be able to attend this fun party!)

Red, blue & yellow was the main colour scheme for the party set up and all the decorations and food were lovingly handmade by the family.  Guests had a ball participating in the various Carnival games and face painting and temporary tattoos. The family was dressed to the theme with mum being the Ring Master and Dad being a Clown, a very fun day!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
Thanks Mel for sharing your fabulous day with us :)

Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

Happy New Year everyone!  I hope you had a beautiful and happy Christmas with your families.  Was a lovely relaxing one here, spent lots of quality time with the kids so was perfect :)

Well 2012 was a great year for Piece of Cake Parties and we were again able to assist with so many lovely birthday parties.  It is always so nice to have existing customers come back to us for their party goodies and also for the opportunity to help lots of new customers with their special events.  I would like to thank all of our customers for their business throughout 2012 and I hope to help you again this year.

We also hosted some gorgeous and fun parties ourselves in 2012, with Paige's Lalaloopsy Christening definitely being a highlight as it was our chance to celebrate our new baby daughter and also to host our first 'girly' event. I was absolutely thrilled to also be awarded 3rd Place by both judges in the Invite Me's 'My Sweet Table Rules 2012' competition for Paige's Lalaloopsy table.  Among nearly 300 absolutely fantastic dessert tables, this was a really awesome personal achievement for me as a Mum and also for Piece of Cake Parties.

I was also so honoured to be contacted by so many fabulous blogs from around the world, asking if they could feature my kids parties - being Paige's Lalaloopsy Party, Declan's Dinosaur Roar Party and Ethan's Jungle/Monkey Party.  I'm just a Mum who owns a party shop, I dont have event styling experience so the fact that others have found inspiration in my kids parties is just awesome for me as that's why I opened Piece of Cake Parties, so I could help other parents host gorgeous and fun celebrations for their little ones.  So a big thank you to all those who have featured my parties in 2012!

So whats in store for 2013 and Piece of Cake Parties & Celebrations ? Well, A LOT!!
We have some exciting changes and surprises that we cant wait to announce!  We spent all of 2012 working behind the scenes on some great new things and should be ready to release all the details over the next few months, so be sure to keep an eye out for some exciting new things coming soon!

I would again like to thank all of our customers for their business in 2012, all the businesses who helped us with our parties in 2012 and a big thanks to all our Blog and Facebook supporters and readers.  We love having you be apart of the Piece of Cake journey and here's to a fabulous, fun 2013 :)

Paige's 1st Birthday - Little Gnomes

We recently celebrated my little Paige's 1st Birthday and my how fast the year has flown!

We wanted something cute and sweet for our party theme so we chose little Gnomes and tried to give it a bit of a vintage feel.  Party morning was a little crazy, up early setting up and then about 10 minutes after our photos were finished it started bucketing down so was a mad rush to get everything inside and reset up in the lounge room before the guests arrived (Had just a tiny sulk about the rain ruining my lovely outside springtime party haha).

All in all though it was a lovely morning.  Hope you enjoy the pictures :) x
