Rapunzel Tower Cake - Settled!

For some, it may seem too "OC" of me to order and settle full payment for the birthday cake, a few months in advance.. But then, if you're dealing with someone like the Bunny Baker, you have to get your reservation a few months ahead as they get too busy, being in demand and all...

I fell in love with the Bunny Baker's cake creations the very day I saw them on the net. And now I will admit, the first time I saw their Tangled Birthday Cake, that paved the way for me to decide on what theme I will be doing for Chingching's birthday party. Yup, the Bunny Boss played a big role in my party - decision making. (wink)

I knew right there that it would be fantastically beautiful... I wanted the same birthday cake, with a few minor additions to the design of course, but I will have the perfect birthday cake for my little one... I'm sure we will have a party fit for our little princess.

Oh, and before I forget, YUP! I settled the payment in full... A staggering P--------.. Oh well, I just didn't know cakes could cost a bit higher than the usual. But then, if you get something as beautiful as this one, I will rest my case...

Tangled Table & Number Tags

Thank God for my good friend Erra "Eya" Sanjorjo - Gomez, for designing our thank you cards, table & number cards for the party... She designs invites, cards, and alot more... Eya has always been very good with anything artsy, she being a graphic artist herself, and a painter as I recall... Even when we were in college, she was very adept in sketching and designing things, either manually or thru computer... And I'm glad she made time to make my baby's table cards, just like she did on our wedding day.. She is such a big help...

She incorporated a sense of Tangled theme on each card, and even on the menu table-cards. (",) I just had them printed and individually cut a while ago. We'll be handing them over to the caterer on the event day itself...

Aren't they just the cutest? Oh, and by the way, Eya made these for Ching at no expense... Another plus if you ask me...

10 Months & Counting..

A rich gooey Red Ribbon chocolate cake for my little girl's 10th month!!!!

that's Ching's foot trying to smudge the cake

We ordered a family-size pizza and some palabok on the side. Jates & Kuya Borge came over to see Chingching and we all had a great time bonding together...

Kuya tries to make Ching blow her cake..

Ching obviously had fun with her Ninong & Ninang. She was smiling the whole time, making funny noises & playing with Kuya...

Two more months and she'll be turning one! (Excitement is escalating!)

Tangled Invitations..

I feel as if fate led me to have this lucky find in the person of Sandy Go... Sandy is my sister-in-law's classmate in college but I didn't know of it until she asked me how I was related to Ate... We only communicated thru the internet.. Upon browsing her amazing invite-selections, I knew right then that she will be making my daughter's invitations... As soon as I decided on a 2Dimension invite, I settled the full payment thru bank deposit and a week after, I got this beautiful sample of Ching's Tangled Theme Invitation....

A few more details that I had to add and it's all set to be printed... I will then send her the make-hair I patiently weaved so they could complete the look before sending it back to me...

I started braiding DMC threads to make fake looking hairs for the invites and give-aways, but I had to re-do some of it since I prepared 6-inch long braid strands instead of 3. But no biggie, I know I can finish it on time. =)

Tangled Watercolors...

After Ching's monthly check up, I had Leih drop me off SM Makati to purchase some art supplies for our kiddie give-aways... And with Tangled theme in mind, I thought of giving away watercolors and a paint plate, since Rapunzel loved to draw and paint, among her other hobbies...


I also got lavender furry bags for the little girls where I'll be putting the watercolors in. For the boys, the items will be placed inside lavender lace-bags... Originally, I planned on ordering Rapunzel stools for all the kids, but then, I wanted something with a Tangled feel. Rapunzel was into pottery, darts, candle making & painting. I also had the option to buy the girls ribbons, combs and hair accessories but I didn't know what to give the boys so I opted the watercolor giveaway...

I might purchase a few more just to make sure every kid gets one. =)
