September's Bliss

This is my birthday cake, I wanted a simple cake because I lack of time and concentrate on doing a pretty autumn decorations. I picked up some leaves ans pine cones in the garden and here It is ! This is just a chocolate cake with some philadelphia frosting but I liked to do It.

I thought It would be quite pretty to choose "Alice in wonderland" as a thema for my little girl's birthday. I really had such pleasure to organize It, I made some researches on the internet to find vintage illustrations to use on invitations, labels... I found lovely cake cutters in tea cups shapes. And I used an old birdcage to make a kind of 3d scene of the book by cutting illustrations of Alice and a rabbitt from a vintage book and glue them in different places of the birdcage as if they were moving. Suzie seemed to love, she will appreciate a little bit more when she grow up and see the photos...

I particularly loved the theme chosen by Melisssa, one of my lovely brides this year : the circus. I thought It would be a great theme too for a 2 years' little boy birthday party. Like Melissa, I created all the decorations in 2 colours : blue and red. I had a lot of fun creating the birthday cake with the circus and the animals on the top of It. I will never forget the smile on Charlie's face when he saw the lion, the clown and the elephant on his cake !

This movie (among great jazzmen and Charlie Winston) made me want to name my baby Charlie so that seemed natural for me to pick It as a theme for his little first birthday party. He looked so happy to see his cake with the candle light, I really enjoyed to see him open his gifts, running everywhere and clapping his hands when seeing the table with the candies !

I made this cake for my birthday last week, I wanted a little Japanese touch on It so I made some little sakura flowers. I had so much pleasure doing that !
