Pretty Pedestals

1
Take a look at these beautiful cake stands. That is if you can see past the skyline of sweets. I absolutely love this photo. Love it. I wish I could enlarge it and wallpaper my kitchen with it. This photo and the rest in this post (taken by Ashley Rose Photography) are photos of cakes from my friend Melody’s shop, My Sweet & Saucy. We’ve been internet buds from way back when I had a blogspot.com address. And since then, she’s gone from blogger herself, to superstar baker, making the most gorgeous cakes and working with the likes of Tori Spelling, Miley Cyrus and more. I just wish she wasn’t all the way in California. Actually, it’s a good thing I’m not in driving distance. For my waistline anyway.

Oh dear. I need a pink ruffle cake in my life.
Pronto.

Look at all these cakes. I mean pedestals. Big ones. Little ones. Tall ones. Short ones.
Melody also has an online store where you can find them all in one place.
Yes, pedestals. Like this pretty little pink one. Perfect for a petite little cake.

Or stack two and you can fill it with sweet little treats.

Wait, you mean you don’t have a large and small pink glass pedestal or a sweet glass dome?
That’s terrible. Unthinkable.
Would you like one? I mean all three pieces in the photo above?
I thought you might.
Melody is giving them away to one of my readers. Yippee! Thanks Melody!
Enter for a chance to win this dome and two pretty pink pedestals.

kids easter party

happy easter!! :)  i threw this easter party for my kids and their friends over the weekend.  it's always fun to celebrate easter..and the kids had a great time. :)

here is the kids table...
all the filled eggs that were awaiting their hiding spots for the easter egg hunt ;)


i have been pondering this idea for a little while..i originally thought i would do an arrangement of flowers and vases with a variety of stacked cake stand/cupcake stands...but once i got this 3 tiered stand..i knew it was perfect for my idea. :)  and i loved the way it turned out.
i filled each tier with different colored easter grass..blue, purple and yellow..filled the grass with different size/style vases, decorative eggs and as my kids would call them, "chirpies."  then i topped it off with some ribbon and tulle to match.  the night before i filled the vases with an assortment of flowers.  nice and springy :)  i thought this would be a great idea for any type of theme or event or as a centerpiece.


i found the 3 tiered stand at pottery barn.com
i actually tried buying it back in october, but they sold out.  and they have them again so i had to order it immediately :)  i absolutely LOVE it.  worth every penny! :)



my trusty wire tree ;) was perfect to hang eggs on!

the other table had spring flowers.  i absolutely love easter lilys! :)




i decided i would try making these cake pops from bakerella.
fun and festive and perfect for the kids favors :)





ella made all of these cute little crafts and i threw them in an egg holder for decoration :)

my husband surprised me with these flowers the day before the party :)  they made a perfect centerpiece for the island. :)



some of the drinks and goodies...i had a big punch bowl inside.


my friend, janelle, made all of these adorable cupcakes :) (thanks again, janelle!)
i found the cupcake pedestals at oriental trading.com



lots of goodies to eat :)  several friends brought over some yummy treats.  
thanks everyone! :)
i just ordered a big subway sandwich and then there were all the sides to go along with it...

chocolate cake eggs


the kids made easter bags that were going to be used to collect their eggs in

in the drying stage..it's cute to see how no two bags were even close to alike!
the daddy's hid the eggs..there was supposed to be no peeking ;)
ready...set...find the eggs!!  the kids were soo excited for the egg hunt!




i put a carrot in one of the eggs...and the person who found it got a big chocolate bunny :)  yay calli! :)
later on there was egg dyeing 

i bought an egg spinner and it was a hit with the kids!


and just like last year, ella was the last one at the table. haha.
i hope everyone had a great Easter! :)
