LUCAS & LITTLE TED - BLUE

Lucas is turning one.... and loves his Little Ted.
So of course, there had to be a Little Ted on his Birthday Cake ...along with the words I'm One, which is what it said on his birthday invitations. And on the sole of Little Ted's foot, the number 1.

The colours of the Invitations were Pale Blue, Dark Blue and Yellow.... which i incorporated when creating Lucas's Cake.

A 7 inch Round Cake -  consisting of 6 layers - each filled with Milk Chocolate Ganache... standing 6 inches high.  .... then covered in pale blue fondant - and then decorated..... including one yellow crayon Candle which sat next to Little Ted....

The Cake.....

Little Blue and Yellow Ted's, Ducks, Bibs and Bottles... long with little Booties, sat around the base of the Cake and Cake board....

A huge Thank you to my friend Samantha...who made Little Ted.

He was perfect sitting on his blue blanket....

Again - Thank you - what a treasure you are.

Thank you also to Nicole - for you ever so kind words and high praise.

It was indeed a pleasure to make Lucas's Birthday Cake.

Happy Birthday Lucas...

BABY SHOWER - BLUE

Sunday the 17th March was the day Ingrid hosted her Garden Baby Shower.
 Little white bowls of *one lump or two* with tiny silver tongs - sat along side the Brightly coloured Tea cups which matched the Bright Teapots... Rose Bowls and little Mason pots were filled with flowers.....which all sat on the white tablecloths along the long tables.
Ingrid chose an Alice In Wonderland theme for her Garden party.....

Inside was the Dessert Table -  Keeping to the colours of Pastel Blue and White...i made Mini cupcakes, some in mini white cups. others under the little glass domes.
Colour coordinated wrapped chocolates -  with a *b* made of fondant sitting on the tied Ribbon... and little blue swirled blue Meringues, also sat on the table - as did the Blue and White striped Baby Shower Cake.... Flowers with a butterfly on top of the Cake - representing the Garden and tiny Teddy Bears, Ducks and Bibs - representing the Baby Shower.


                                                                     The Cake...

Mini Cupcakes...

Wrapped Chocolates & Blue Swirled  Meringues.

I arranged Rose Ball vases, filled with white Roses, white Lithianthus, and white Singapore Orchids.

Small Mason Jars and Little bottles also donned the table - filled with a mixture of white flowers, yellow Tulips and yellow Roses.

A large arrangement of white Oriental Orchids and long stemmed yellow Roses greeted guests in the entry...  

                                    

The brightly coloured Teapots...plus the *one lump or two*.......

In the Garden..... quotes, from Alice In Wonderland... in large white frames.

A Mirror and large clock............................ of course....

coloured lanterns.......hanging from the trees.

More of Alice...in the Garden

Yes, a beautiful sunny Day - with a slight cool breeze was the perfect setting for such a Garden Baby Shower....

And now, we all await the arrival of Ingrid and Jason's baby Boy....

Oh how that little Boy shall be cherished and loved....

Bless you both.... for the joy that is about to grace your World.

Thank you Ingrid..... it was my pleasure.....
