Want to really impress your guests' at your next soiree?
Have silhouette pictures created by master silhouette artist

Each Silhouette is cut out entirely freehand!

Each Silhouette is an original, one of a kind work of art, signed by the artist.
He was most recently commissioned by Marc Anthony to create silhouettes

of Jennifer Lopez for her 40th Birthday Party.

Butch meets Cupcakes

This is one guy who definately gets it!
What a great idea!
Cupcakes inspired for a man!

And you gotta love the name Butch Bakery!
Butch Bakery was born when David Arrick felt it was time to combine

a masculine aesthetic to a traditionally cute product -the cupcake.

When a magazine article mentioned that cupcakes

were a combination of everything "pink, sweet, cute, and magical",

he felt it was time to take action, and butch it up.

He decided to create a company where "Butch meets Buttercream".

David is delighted to bring this exciting culinary product to market.


Their cupcake samplers have 12 delicious flavors to choose from.

Check out those decorative chocolate disc!

They have 6 styles:

Woodland Camo

Wood Grain

Houndstooth

Plaid

Checkerboard

or Marble

And check out these flavors!

Rum-Soaked Madagascar Vanilla Cake with Cola Bavarian Cream Filling (Rum & Coke)

Chocolate Beer Cake with Beer-Infused Buttercream and Pretzels (Beer Run)

They are only available in NYC...BOO!

But they say they will be available to us all in 2010...so hold tight!

Yummy Pink

What is not to like about these little pink desserts?
My favorite is the donut on the spoon!

That would be a nice little touch for
your sweethearts morning coffee on Valentines day!

Sorry....I am a bad blogger! Didn't document the source.

What is not to love about Hot Cocoa and Smores?

I love how Gretchen (the very talented party host)

Called this the "un"glamourous Smores Bar!

They are camping you know!

A real indoor campfire! Love it!

I just love the laid back feel of this party! Is it summer yet?

Valentine DIY

Is anyone else knee deep in Valentines?

I am not sure what I would do if I had more

than 2 kids!

Probably just go buy the store bought Valentines!

What? Did that just come out of my mouth?

No way!

My daughter and I made this Valentines

"4 Pack" for her teacher today.

Super easy!

I originally saw this idea at

Nap Time Journal.

Visit her blog to get all of the diy details.

FYI, I used Starbucks drink bottles instead

of the bottles she shows.

I know the colors are more Easter than

Valentines BUT, I wanted it to be

different!

These would make get favors

for my 20's Casino Party too!

Since we will have quiet a few out of towners!

I am thinking....

Sweet Dreams Chocolate's

&

Rise and Shine Nuts and Fruit!

What do you think?

Save the Date!

How cute are these?

Having a photo booth is so popular right now,

why not turn them into Save the Date Cards?

This would be so easy to recreate!!
What do you think?

(sorry for the blury picture)

Give them some "I Love"

I have been searching the web over for a cute valentines

that my daughter and I could make for her class!
I have found it!

The "I Love" with

valentines song playlist!

Aren't those the cutest?

I found these over at

Full of Bliss Blog.

She has some really good ideas.

All you need is scrapebook paper, sweethearts,

string and reeses or other candy that serves as the ear buds.
Check out her blog for all of the details

on this craft!
