Carly's 1s't Birthday Blast

Hello everyone I'm back it's been a while I didn't  visit my blog due to my little girl's birthday party preparation who is turned ONE last Saturday. Time flies so fast seems like it was just recently I had a baby and now she's already one.

I want to share with you guys Carly's birthday photos, I did held it at the park unfortunately the weather didn't agree with my party it was super windy. I can't decorate the shelter real good were I originally planned to make it look nice but the wind just blows everything but I can't complain with mother nature I'll take it better than rain.

Here's my two Minnie mouse's, the celebrant and the cake

 Cupcakes and another cake

 Despite the windy weather the kids had so much fun with the games.

Since I connot reach the ceiling to hang the piñata and the hanging candies(pabitin) I just hold it for them to reach it, well it works good.

I also had a game for the adults a balloon race

 where they walk with the balloon between their knees. It was funny and fun to watch them racing and of course the winner has a prize.

She was asleep for two hours in the party so we have to wait until she wakes up so that we can sing happy birthday and smash her cake because the kids are excited and ready to eat the cake and cupcakes. But of course since she just woke up she don't want to sit in the high chair so mommy has to hold her. I don't have to light up the candle because it's windy and she just poke the cake and taste it a little bit, I think she's not waking up completely to do all that stuff that's why the cake still in shape.

Cutting the cake

Thank you so much to everyone who gave the gifts I really appreciate it.

Carly says thank you for my awesome and wonderful gifts, I like them all.

Me and carly would like to say thank you to all the people who came to the party and celebrate with us it was a fun-tastic day with so much joy and laughter.

Where the time go?Rose is 32

Hello bloggers it was my birthday yesterday but the day before that I celebrated it with my other friend who also had a birthday on that day so I ask some of my friends to come over to my house to get together, nothing fancy we just had a good time chatting and eating some fish and dried fish(tuyo)ha-ha and a play date for the kids as well.

Here's our birthday cupcakes that I made, I still can't get over from my Minnie mouse party for Carly so I made a cupcake with Oreo cookies in Minnie mouse design.

Happy Birthday to us.

It's always fun celebrating my birthday with my friend cherry.

Happy Birthday to me!

And here is my Birthday cake, an ice cream cake with chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. yummy! It won't last long in the fridge for sure it's so good.

Thank you to all my friends, my in-laws and hubby for the presents I love them and I love you all.

Cake Decorating techniques

Cake decorating is art that is performed in places all over the world. That is why contests and baking show competitions are very popular, especially in the Western World. Cake decorating is one of the sugar arts that uses icing or frosting and other edible decorative elements to make plain cakes more visually interesting. Alternatively, cakes can be molded and sculpted to resemble three-dimensional persons, places and things.
In many areas of the world, decorated cakes are often a focal point of a special celebration (such as a birthday, graduation, bridal shower, wedding, or anniversary), or are given as gifts. They can also mark national or religious holidays, or be used to promote commercial enterprises.  

Cake Themes

There are many themes of cakes, such as wedding cakes, birthday cakes, seasons, and holidays. Cakes may be baked and decorated for almost any social occasion.



Cake decorating as an art



Decorating a cake usually involves covering a cake with some form of icing and then using decorative sugars, candies, chocolate or icing decorations to embellish the cake. But it can also be as simple as sprinkling a fine coat of icing sugar or drizzling a glossy blanket of glaze over the top of a cake. Icing decorations can be made by either piping icing flowers and decorative borders or by molding gum paste, fondant, or marzipan flowers and figures. Fondant allows the baker to express creativity in baking. Fondant exists in many different colors, and its initial form is soft and easy to handle. In this form, cake decorators are able to mold fondant into many different artistic expressions. Many of these art expressions are also taught in professional cake decorating class. Fondant is primarily used to cover cakes but is also used to create individual show pieces for cakes. Gumpaste is a substance used in cake decorating to create flower decorations. Royal Icing is a sweet white icing made by whipping fresh egg whites (or powdered egg whites, meringue powder) with icing sugar.^[2] Royal icing produces well-defined icing edges and is ideal for piping intricate writing, borders, scrollwork and lacework on cakes. It dries very hard and preserves indefinitely if stored in a cool, dry place, but is susceptible to soften and wilt in high humidity. Marzipan is often used for modeling cake decorations and as a base covering underneath fondant.^[2] Professional institutes, such as the London Culinary Institute and Le Cordon Bleu, have begun segregating their cookery schools to create completely separate institutes, dedicated to cake making.(source:wikipedia-cake decorating)

Last week my friend ask me to bake a cake with decoration on it for her friends kids birthday (I said uh oh I will try but I'm not good at it especially the decoration)

I came up with this decoration that I pulled online. It might not be the best but its not bad. Do you know the feeling of doing things for the first time and scared that you will screw it up coz there's no spare ingredients to do it again? whew thank goodness it turned out good, thank you so much to the owner of sweetartfactory.com for a beautiful decorating techniques. I did it myself and it was pretty simple and easy.

 

I'm glad that the celebrant like it so much and I'm not screwed lol.

 

 

 

Here's some cupcake design that I made too, I made this when my husband ask me to make something that is Italian to take to the potluck party at his work coz everybody has to bring Italian food, so I came up with this, cupcake with Italian flag icing on it.(ha ha is that Italian enough )lol.

 

 THANKS FOR THE VISIT!
