Unicorn Birthday Cake

Melody’s wanted her 7th birthday party to be unicorn themed. She had it planned for awhile, and she even knew exactly what she wanted her cake to look like. She apparently watched a video on YouTube Kids where they decorated cakes, and she saw one she wanted. I wasn’t sure how I was going to do this, and my backup was to just use Publix. I knew they had a unicorn cake even if it wasn’t the “right” one. Well I talked with my cousin at Easter, and she apparently was starting a bakery. Melody was telling her all about the cake she wanted, and my cousin said she would love to make it! Her instagram handle is @bluebirdbakeryelkmont if you want to see her work!

Doc McStuffins Cupcake Toppers

Instead of doing a cake for Melody’s birthday party, I did cupcakes. I did this for a few reasons. One, I do not have to cut a cake this way. It is one less thing I have to plan for. Two, even before COVID, it made me feel better to have her blow out a candle on a single cupcake vs an entire cake that people will be eating. Three, it is generally cheaper. And four, it makes it easier to give out cupcakes (or this time around we already had plates made), rather than cut pieces of cake to hand out. I always pick colors that match the theme of the party, but I also add some form of cupcake toppers. I decided to make easy ones this time around.

Frozen Cupcake Toppers

My original plan for Melody’s cake at her Frozen themed birthday party was to do an Elsa cake similar to the Snow White cake I did last year. However, she said she didn’t want that. She wanted a sheet cake from Publix, but they didn’t have the exact one she wanted, so I opted for cupcakes. I bought some snowflake edible toppers a while back that I did use on some of the cupcakes, but I did make a few toppers too using my Silhouette Cameo.

John Deere DIY Baby Shower

When a was planning a baby shower for a coworker, I knew John Deere would be the perfect theme. Her son's nursery was going to have a lot of John Deere incorporated, and she is also a John Deere fan. Unfortunately finding John Deere baby shower items is difficult, so I decided to make my own. Below are the centerpieces I made and Cupcake toppers.
