For our glamping extravaganza this past weekend I wanted a unique birthday cake that didn't cost a fortune. I'm a self professed baker-wannabe, I def don't know my way around a scratch cake mix, I bake from a box - there I said it. So, I had to pull out all of the other stops I could think of to make up for my baking inadequacies; a theme, edible custom topper, a friend with mad icing skills and food colouring! Do you love that my GF matches the cake? Nothing says fashionable-great outdoors like Canada's chic Hudson's Bay Co. I dreamt up the idea to colour each layer of the cake to match the brands signature stripes (many a rainbow cake have come across my Pinterest feed lately...an idea was born). Of course I went right to my fave resource Etsy, to seek out a creative genius who could recreate the Bay's logo (with a small tweak to the date to represent the year the hubs was born) and add in a birthday message. The TopACake shop turned my logo around in hours and it was a flawless match! I was nervous about the application of the frosting sheet, but this sheet was sturdy and literally peel n' stick. Cutting into the middle was the most exciting part! The reveal of these multicoloured layers was a fun surprise - TIP: for rich colour use food colouring gel, I used the drops and didn't quite get the dark colours I was going for. I couldn't have been more pleased with this custom cake masterpiece, and the best part is the total costs was less than $30 (custom cake topper was only $10!!). Not bad for this Betty Crocker connoisseur.

In a blink of an eye my son Jasper is 9. Our adventure seeking boy really loves hiking and exploring, so it seemed fitting for him to have a hiking themed party and I'm so excited to share all the details with you. First off, I like to keep my parties simple and easy to style. Although I own A Little Confetti, I don't consider myself a party stylist and I promise that this party is one you can easily make look great in a small amount of time. Beside a typical birthday table set up, we also set up a snack/treat table and in the living room where the kids would play games we set up two tents from our sister company A Little Campout. We placed the treat table against a wall in our living room that already contains an 'on theme' mountain shelf. We added a rustic handmade tree (by my father) for a little outdoorsy decor. I found a tutorial on how to make a similar tree, just click here. I kept it simple for treats. We tried to think of food that we would take on a hike and thought about doing a

This didn't turn out that bad considering I was panicking as it was a last minute order. All the cupcake toppers are handmade using fondant & the ninky Nonk is also handmade. However, I ran out of time & had to use plastic characters to keep it within budget & pick up time frame.
