DIY Cake Stand!

After seeing this Cake Plate Tutorial from Your Homebase Mom, I wanted to make some of my own too! I love how you can use any plate you desire!

For each cake plate you will need:
1 candle holder
1 plate
E6000 glue

I found the candle holders and plate from my local $1 store.

I had this glue on hand so I forgot how much the price is, I got this from Michael's Arts and Crafts.

Now get your holder and plate together, turn the plate upside down and try to determine where the center is.

Then add glue to the top of the holder

then turn the holder upside down and put into the center of the plate.

Let dry for 2-6 hours (per directions of glue) I just left it overnight.

Then TA-DA!!! you got your own cake plate!!!

Took a picture of these cake balls using the stand. Silly me didn't take a picture of the whole stand...we ate all the cake balls before I realize it! hehe!

Now off to try to make these plates into plate stand too! I got these on clearance from Michaels!

Eclipse Inspired Cake Balls

For those of you that know me, you know I LOVE LOVE the Twilight Saga!!!!

Eclipse is my favorite book of the four buuuuut I must say that the Twilight movie is still my favorite movie.

That being said, I wanted to post some treats I made...Twilight Inspired!!!

Blood Red for the Vampires (red velvet cake)

White for the Cullens (coconut cake)

Brown for the Werewolves (chocolate cake)

(on the left) I threw in a white cake ball with chocolate drizzle to represent the Cullens and Werewolves working together...cheesy I know but I LOVE twilight! =)

I printed the FREE cupcake wrappers and cupcake toppers from Maggie's Dinner Dates. There's so many to choose from like bag toppers, waterbottle wrappers, etc!!! Print yours now!

I like the Team Jakeward! LOL! but I'm team Edward ALL THE WAY! I also printed the bag from Maggie's Dinner Dates.

Blue & Brown Baby Shower

As I said in my earlier post, my family hosted a baby shower for my brother. It's their first child aka my parent's ONLY grandchild to carry the family name! My brother is the only son so my sister & I think he's the golden child! LOL!

I took care of most of the decor, I made the banner above and these pom pom balls. This is the best one I made so far!

My sister took care of the centerpieces. I just made a matching label for these tin cans from Target.

The dessert table...I notice my families aren't a fan of sweets so we just had a few "sweets". This is the first party that I made food labels and because of that, it seems like no one wanted to touch the table! 

I saw the paper garland from The TomKat Studio. I wasn't sure how to make it but if you look close enough you might get the idea! =)

 

Cake Pops with blue drizzle

Cupcake Toppers by Lorell from Sweetly Sweet. The whole decor was worked around her Baby Shower Collection. I LOVE THE COLORS AND DESIGNS!

Lecheflan is FLAN . In my family we call it Lecheflan. =) Made by my mom...it's her secret recipe!

Blueberry Jello and Brownie Cookies

My mom made the Jello and these were a hit!

diaper cake made by my cousin Krystle. We also turned it into a game.

more cake pops...

 These games were also from Sweetly Sweet that also came in the Baby Shower Collection. Bingo was a fun game for everyone! They weren't done when someone called "BINGO!" They wanted to finish it with blackout bingo! hehe! Picture below is the pillow box favors that is ALSO included in the collection!

The parents-to-be were happy with the whole shower! They even asked if I can print so more for their next baby shower on the mom-to-be's side of family! That's whats great about printable files...you can print as much as you want! Thanks Lorell for your LOVELY designs!

(PS: I made my brother a "Daddy To Be" tag & Krystle made a "Mommy To Be" sash)

Congrats Joel & Ruby! =)

{Sneak Peek} Blue & Brown Baby Shower

My family threw my brother a baby shower and I said I'd take care of the decor. I was excited...FINALLY another baby shower! Why?... because I been waiting to use Sweetly Sweet's designs by Lorell! When I saw her post for the pink and brown design, I fell in LOVE with it! I wanted to use it for my cousin but she had a pink and purple theme and we ended up using Cute as a Button Theme. Here are the cupcake toppers from Sweetly Sweet.

And this pillow box from the Sweetly Sweet's baby shower collection. Lorell was so kind and changed the name from "Jonah" to "Ruby & Joel's Baby Shower" Inside was this Macadamia Roca or Macadamia Hershey's kisses from Hawaii.

This water pail tin is from Target's $1 section. These are for centerpieces for each table. I made matching labels for this, food labels, and for some games.

This is a diaper raffle game, for those who brought diapers were entered in a raffle contest.

These tags were for the diaper cake game, they had to guess how many diapers are in the diaper cake (pictures coming soon!)

of course cake pops! this was inspired by Amy Atlas.

I wanted to do this for my cousin's girl baby shower that I mentioned above. I got a chance to try it out for my brother's shower! Of course with BLUE! =)

Hope you enjoy this little teaser!
