My sister, Shanda, made these adorable cupcakes for her daughter’s first birthday. I believe she just used m&m’s and some string tips (correct me if I’m wrong, Shanda).
Anyway, supercute. (And I like the serving plate, too.)
We had a blast (pun intended) with my son’s Space/Rocket/Astronaut themed birthday party this year! It was too much stellar fun to fit it into one post. For all of the Out of this World details and ideas for how you can throw your own spaced-out party, please read each of the following posts: Stellar…
Do you remember this guy? He was the centerpiece and focal point of my son’s robot birthday party last fall. I planned to explain the construction of the cake stand back then, but struggled to figure out the best way to do it. I had Boy Scout Barry help me film a video tutorial, but between…
…after watching this video. What a creation! Not something I have the skill, time, or inclination to attempt, but amazing, none the less! (In other words, I’m not THAT crazy!)
While there is no shortage of frothy, frilly girl parties to drool over all around the land of blog, I am often asked for more ideas for the some-times forgotten boys–especially as they get a little older. My sister has four boys and has thrown them some amazing parties (see here and here). She has…
Several of you expressed interest in learning more about how we put together the robot invitations. One reader, Sharon, figured out the basic concept, and already made her own version. The nice thing about robots is that they can look like whatever, and are usually made of basic shapes. I designed Bob and left off…
(Yes the pun in the title is totally intended. This is another guest post by Kendra’s certifiably insane sister, Trina. If you don’t believe she’s all that crazy, read on…) In recent years, our two older boys have often opted to forgo a big friend party in favor of a bigger outing with only…

Kendra – those are darling! What are the ears made out of? Chocolate frosting? Way cute…

Hey Mindy! How are you guys? Don’t you have a blog somewhere?
Yes. I think the ears are just chocolate frosting. She confided that she used store bought frosting, which is nearly a sin in our family since our mom was always a “from-scratch” woman, but it is nice to be able to cut corners every once in a while. Especially in the name of cuteness!
Ack!! Those are adorable. And I’m all about the store frosting. When it’s on sale for $1 a can, you can’t make it cheaper. Ü I buy a bunch and put it in our food storage closet, along with the cake mixes that were on sale for $1, too. I think that may have to be our next themed party! (2-year olds don’t get a say, do they??)
Kendra – We are all doing well…and I do have a blog:
