{Sugar Bee} Here Comes the Bride....and Groom!

After creating cute little wedding cake chocolate covered Oreos for my cousin's wedding celebration, I thought, wouldn't it be fun to have little brides and grooms to accompany "the cakes"? So I of course ran to the kitchen and started transforming standard white chocolate covered Oreos into a bride's dress and a groom's tuxedo. The brides turned out exactly how I had pictured, and though the groom's tuxedos had a few areas of discoloration, they also looked quite adorable.

Now, let's "get these to the church on time"!

{Sugar Bee} I Can Hear the Bells....

Wedding bells, that is! Over the weekend I created Wedding Cake Chocolate Covered Oreos for my cousin's upcoming wedding celebration. The family are big fans of chocolate covered Oreos and I thought what a perfect time to create little wedding cake shaped goodies. The best part is that the guests will have a nice surprise when they bite into not just one Oreo, but two! The bottom layer of the "cake" has a standard size Oreo and the top layer is created using a mini Oreo. I hope everyone brings their sweet tooth!

But perhaps these "cakes" are best shared with a loved one....

{Party Bee} Client Feature: Harry's Splish Splash Bash

 

My nephew, Harry, just turned ONE and to celebrate his special day, his mom and dad put together an amazing party! My sister-in-law, Kelly, did an incredible job styling the party with The Sugar Bee Bungalow's Splish Splash Bash Collection! She had so many cute, coordinating treats and the decorations were so bright and festive, I especially love the thoughtful details put into everything she created.

 

The birthday boy's smash cake was made special by two of his cousins...how sweet is that!!!

 

A friend of Kelly made the adorable cupcakes by icing them to look like beach balls. Not only did they look cute, they were also delicious!

 

 What is a pool party without Swedish Fish, Lemonheads, and Goldfish and Animal Crackers for the kids!?!?

 

I made coordinating sugar cookies in the shapes of beach balls and number ones. 

 

I love the way the blueberry gumballs look! 

 

I made a special hat for the birthday boy that looked really cute on him!

 

Kelly put together an awesome bucket full of party favors for the kids to take home. The kids absolutely loved them!

 

A container filled with Otter Pops were placed on the dessert table along with coordinating paper bags for the guests to fill up and take home to enjoy.

 

A decorative pennant banner adorned the shelf above the dessert table which looked so festive and fun! I especially loved how Kelly put together a banner that featured the birthday boy's pictures from birth to a year...amazing how kids grow and change so much in one year! 

 

Large coordinating circles designed with beach balls and the words "Pool Party" decorated the doors that led to the pool....a perfect location and they really look great!

  

The birthday boy looked so happy to get his smash cake! 

 

 

He LOVED his cake! Watching him dig in was a big party highlight....super cute! 

 

He even shared with his mom, dad, and cousins!

 

A beautiful family photo! 

Happy 1st Birthday, Harry!

Thank you so much, Kelly, for sharing these lovely photos!

{Party Bee} Jake Street!

This year my husband and I had a lot of fun throwing Jake's 2nd birthday party! We thought that with Jake being so interested in Sesame Street, we had to go all out with this theme and bring "Jake Street" to our house. We primarily used a color palette of blue and green, simply because I just happen to love that color combination. But we wanted to add dashes of reds, yellows, and oranges by including the show's characters and yummy treats since Sesame Street is so colorful and we wanted the brightness, whimsy and fun to really show through.

If you saw Jake's party pics from last year, you will notice that he wasn't so fond of cake time. So this year I figured that if his favorite characters were on top of the cake, he may enjoy his cake time a little more. We ordered his cake from Mind Over Batter and they did not disappoint my little man...he loved the characters and recognized them instantly! He actually thought they were toys! Though you will see that cake time still isn't his favorite part of his party.

Jake's Godmother made his cupcakes and the kids devoured them! There were a lot of blue faces at his party!

Of course I had to include sugar cookies to coordinate with the theme, so I made Elmo and Cookie Monster cookies as well as the number "2" for the birthday boy!

 Treat bags and water bottles were placed on the table so that when guests get home with their goodies they can eat everything then wash it all down!

No party would be complete without lollipops, chocolate covered Oreos, and cake pops (made by Mind Over Batter)!

 I created these simple yet so fun party bags for the kids party favors and treats. I think they really add to the tables overall theme!

 Not only does Elmo love his Goldfish and Crayons...so does Jake!

 

Jars filled with candies and cookies...Jake especially loved the "Slimey Worms"!

 My husband worked so hard on these plywood character cut-outs and the Jake Street sign. I think he did a fantastic job! Jake's face lit up every time he saw them!

 These cut-outs were not only great decoration but were a lot of fun to take pictures next to!

 Here we are in Hooper's Store!

 Jake had so much fun playing the Sesame Street cake walk game!

 Jake and daddy getting ready for cake time....you will see that he didn't enjoy cake time again, but not because he didn't like the cake, but because mommy and daddy wouldn't let him touch his lit candle!

My little 2 year old...oh how time flies! Happy Birthday, my little mister!

{Sugar Bee} Splish Splash Bash Cookies

My nephew, Harrison (aka Harry), is already turning ONE on the 1st! It seems like just yesterday that we went to visit him in the hospital...where does the time go?!?! To celebrate this major milestone in Harry's life, his parents are throwing him a "Splish Splash Bash" pool party! This party is going to be so great and his mama is working hard putting together a colorful and fun dessert table and filling the house and yard with beautiful decorations!

Of course the dessert table wouldn't be complete without coordinating sugar cookies! So to go with the theme, I created beach ball and number "1" cookies. I am very excited to see everything put together, I am sure it will look fabulous!

Happy 1st Birthday, Harry!
