Countdown To Christmas Cakes

You can find this cake and more at my Shop Here
 Well Christmas is fast approaching, and this year I have added again to my collection of items, Advent Cakes and Countdown to Christmas cakes!!!!  I love these,  I am actually making up 3 of them for my nieces and nephews.  One of my sisters has 8 kids, so I am trying to figure out how to do this one lol!   I am doing a Elmo's Christmas for my one niece, and a snowman one for my one nephew.   We all know how kids are when presents are starting to pile up under the tree, and they just want to open up "JUST ONE" pleaseeee!!!  Well hopefully this will cure them of that, but I can't guarantee it of course! :)  I will also be adding this week,  12 days to Christmas Cakes.

Avery's Monkey Buziness Party!

This was a Super Special party !!!  My bestest little buddy was turning 4!  And it was Party "JEN"erations very first party we did locally!  We loved how it turned out, Avery and her mom were super happy.  It was held at Monkey Bizness which was a great location, and the employees were just fantastic to work with!
So Avery is into Monkeys lately, so of course we had to go with a Monkey theme, we decided on Pink, Brown, and a touch of green.   What a fun color combination!
We all were expecting banquet tables when we arrived, and much to our surprise they were not lol!   But we pulled it off with colorful napkins and dressed each table up super cute! 

The candy bags for the Candy Buffet were just simple lunch sacks, we added ribbon ties and a sticker.  My Fabulous assistant ( and daughter)  personalized all of the bags with the children's names.   They turned out super cute and the kids "LOVED" finding their own special bag.

 
The main character of this party was this adorable pink sock monkey by TerraceHill!
We are thrilled that you stopped by and checked out our Monkey Party.  I was a super fun theme, Avery had a blast, and that was our main objective!  We learned alot on what we need to do next time,  that we can change plans on a moments notice.  And that this is definitely the career I want to pursue!  Thank you so much, and please join us tomorrow for a fun new post!
