Cupcake Invitation Cards

More photos from the past 2 years! Did an updated version of cupcake invitation cards for my daughter's 7th birthday party. I love my trusty Sizzix Big Shot!

The party had a cupcake theme, of course! The girls made mini cupcake fridge magnets and also got to decorate real cupcakes. I gotta go find the photos of their colourful creations - will post them when I find them.

Meanwhile, here are the pix of the cupcake cards and the birthday cake that I made - a giant cupcake, what else!

Have a lovely week!

Last year's Birthday Cupcakes!

Now that I'm in birthday party prep mode, I realised I didn't post last year's cake or rather, cupcake confection.

N asked for cupcakes last year so I baked about 60. I also baked and iced a small "flower pot" that my girl could cut after the birthday song was sung! :)

Am now wondering what kind of cake to make this year.... last year's cupcakes match this year's cupcake invitation cards, LOL! No specific theme this year, just a generic party. Simple is good this time around.

Suggestions anyone?

The Princess Castle Cake

This is the cake I baked and decorated for N's 4th Birthday. Had some scary moments when the butter cream icing started to melt and separate ('cos I forgot to turn on the aircon in hot humid Singapore) and I thought it would just dissolve in a messy buttery heap! So I had to put it in the fridge every now and then, which fortunately, did the trick. Good thing I started work on it early in the day or I wouldn't have finished it in time for the party.

Anyway, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out in the end. And it apparently tasted good, too - or maybe the guests who said so were just being polite! :)

It also was a perfect opportunity to use this lovely candle train set that Farmor gave to N last year. We realised, after of course, that we should have turned the train the other way so that the number 4 would face the right way in the photo!

And here is my little princess with her castle cake! All in, it was a nice little birthday party and I think N and her friends enjoyed it.

Gotta bake again soon....

Was going through my photos and saw the cake I baked and decorated for N's 2nd birthday (yup, that's one and a half years ago!) to suit her choice of butterfly garden party theme. Hmmm... it's been a while since I baked cakes, cookies, etc.

Gotta do that again, hopefully soon after we finish the whole house move thing. Especially, baking cupcakes - N loves helping me decorate them... and eating them, especially the frosting, LOL!


Btw, these cupcakes were made with the leftover batter, butter cream and sugar flowers from the main butterfly cake. Actually had enough leftover for about 20 cupcakes... because I had over-estimated how much I needed, haha!
