It’s catch up day here in the Sweet Dreams Bakeshop blog… well at least of the images I managed to unload from my camera. This fairy /unicorn theme party was for a 5 year old. Mama wanted unicorn, and daughter wanted fairy. We compromised and came up with this custom theme party.
I made these chocolate purple spider cupcakes for a birthday party this past weekend at the request of the birthday girl. I used buttercream frosting and then made chocolate spider webs as toppers. I was very lucky to find the chocolate spiders at a candy store pre-made!
Happy Halloween everyone!
This past weekend my sister and I threw a costume party for the kids and their friends. I made some pumpkin cupcakes for the event. I also made pumpkin cookies. You can find the tutorial and recipe here. The “ghost hunt” was the big hit of the day. My sis wrapped suckers in kleenex and drew ghost faces and hid them in the backyards for this kids to find.
The youngest party goers had to sit out the ghost hunt and get their photo taken! 🙂
Congratulations to Jen and Dave who got married on Saturday! Scroll down if you do not want to miss the coolest and most personalized wedding program you have EVER seen. I had to snap a few pics after I finished with the cake. For this wedding I made the cake and 110 individually boxed cupcakes in tw0 flavours, lemon and chocolate. But first, let me talk about the cake stand. Jen wanted to use it because it is a family heirloom. The first time it held a wedding cake was 1886!! I assure you I was more stressed about transporting this cake stand than I was about her cake! It was beautiful.
And now for the program. The bride made her own newspaper!! Dave proposed to Jen in a crossword puzzle, so nothing could have been more fitting.Thanks for allowing me to share this Jen. The paper had current headlines, weather, a story about Jen and Dave, the traditional wedding program, advertising (thanks for that), a homes section about the renovation they are undertaking, a personalized crossword, and very clever classified ads. Outstanding!!! (If you click on the photo, you can enlarge it).

Don’t these just feel like summer! They are so bright and cheerful. These cupcakes were ordered for a 4oth birthday.
Also, are you starting to get the idea that I’m catching up on my posts? Well, I’m not done yet! I also did a lot of Halloween cookies this week, but since they are a duplicate, I won’t re-blog them. I think I really need to update that cookie counter… I’m pretty sure I’m over 2000 now. 🙂
