Yes, we PROMISE to write regularly on our new blog (sorry about the false start!). Yes, we PROMISE to keep stocking our store with oh-so-gorgeous party things. Yes, we PROMISE not to have any parties for our kids this year. Hang on a minute. That doesn't sound like a promise we'd make?
2009 was indeed a huge year of planning, prepping and styling six memorable celebrations for our youngsters – and yes we may have thrown out this crazy, off-the-cuff promise to our husbands while in a haze of post-party exhaustion (you know the kind!). But now that 2010 has rolled around we're not so sure that’s a promise we can keep! HELLO! We are in the party business. Never going to happen.
So while we go about smooching to our husbands for leniency on promises made, here’s a little snapshot review of our 2009 family celebrations – look out for more details this month as we remember what fun we created last year and start dreaming up themes for 2010. We’d love to see what you created in 2009 or hear about what party style is inspiring you for 2010. May it be a wonderful celebration-filled year for you and your families xo

hip hip hooray! the blog is up and looks fab! love those parties! super cute xx
I love the ice cream cone cake! Is there a recipe/instructions somewhere for this cake? I'd love to do it for my daughter's 5th birthday.
Thanks for stopping by. I have wanted to make this cake for about 10 years, since it graced the cover of a cake cookbook I bought called Happy Birthday by Anna von Marburg. Mia was SO having an Ice-Cream Party ;) The original uses real icecream scoops on top to great effect but as we were already planning a make-your-own Sundae bar with plenty of Baskin Robbins I opted to make the scoops out of cupcakes instead. Takes the urgency out of serving too. I am preparing a post with more details from Mia's Ice-Cream party, and will try and gather together some instructions for you - is deceptively easy!. The book is also still available through Amazon. Happy baking!
Thanks so much for the tip - I have just ordered the book through Fishpond. Look forward to seeing the details however of how you did it with cupcakes. Sounds brilliant (and less melty)!
