Candice's nonpareils-coated 21st birthday cake

So time really does fly! 

It wasn't so long ago (well, it feels that way) when we made Candice's 18th birthday cake:

a Pollock-inspired funky little number - a cake we truly had fun doing!

This year she has asked us to make another cake, she's 21! 

We must say, it's one of our most favourite cakes so far - It's beautiful! 

Just like the cake three years ago, this one still spells "vivacious, strong-willed, fun, and full of passion for life" - a few of the many traits Candice is known for... only this time this also says, "oh, wait, I'm a grown-up now."

  here's the plan:

Twenty one ombré butterflies and hundreds of nonpareils later - here is the outcome:

...and here's the birthday girl with her cake:

A very belated happy 21st, dear Candy!

Thank you for joining us in this sugary-sweet journey!

Shelley's leopard ombré birthday cake

Three years ago, Shelley turned 18 and we made her a ruffles & rose cake. Sweet and pretty! 

This year, for her 21st birthday, she has asked us to make an ombré cake with leopard print accents! Quite a stark contrast to the one she had for her 18th, we must say... but this cake we were digging!

It's still pretty and classy, of course! 

But it's edgy. It's clean.

And it says, "Twenty one!"

We loved making this cake! We always love doing cake designs we haven't done before!

A very late Happy 21st, Shelley! :)

Thank you for joining us in this sugary-sweet journey!

Joyce's Safari-themed 21st birthday

Joyce turned 21 in March. We, along with some of her church friends, decided to throw her a party right here in our (Joy's) backyard. Joyce is from Tanzania. So it was only fitting that she gets to have a Safari-themed birthday party!

Here's a photo of her invite - by Milbreé Moments, aka Jane:

And, of course, we got to make her a cupcake tower:

And... the guests!

Our Princess! :)

There was so much laughter because of games like these... We won't tell you what they were doing. Just that it was a whole lot of FUN. :)

 

There you have it... Joyce's 21st!

Thank you for joining us in this Safari (but still sugary-sweet) journey!
