In 3's

I have three nieces on David's side of the family. Two of the three have birthdays in May that are only 3 days apart and the other one has a birthday in July. Well for whatever reason, they didn't get around to doing their parties until last weekend and since I've been doing their cakes for the past few years, I was asked to make them cakes this year as well. Of course I said yes! I was told by their mom that I didn't need to do 3 cakes two would be enough and that they would be ok with just two cakes. So I said ok, I mean two cakes is less work then three for me so I was super excited about that. Well after I got home and got to thinking about it, I knew there was no way I could just do two cakes. That meant that one of the three would have to share a cake and I just couldn't have that. So I thought I'd do two cakes and some cupcakes (you know I love me some cupcakes), but even that didn't seem right because one would still be without a cake. So being that rock star aunt that I am ;) I decided do a cake for each of them. While I'm sure they all had ideas for a theme or what type of cake they wanted, I was told I could do whatever I wanted and whatever was easiest for me. So I thought of colors and then got online for super simple frosting ideas and for at least one I hadn't done before.

And this is what I came up with and all three girls where so excited and happy that they each got their own cake and that made me happy too!! It didn't take long for me to decide on colors and I've done the ruffle and rose frosting before even though with this rose cake you would think that I'd never frosting a cake before LOL.

 

I just whipped up the butterfly, heart and pendant banners using some scrapbooking stuff I had on hand and once again the girls loved it. Always puts a smile on face when I can put a smile on theirs.

I also made them some birthday cards since I didn't pick any up at the store before hand + I'm kind of over buying and paying $5 for cards when I know most people just throw them away so I again I just used some of my scrapbook stuff and made them each a card.

These were very simple and easy to make cards, just my type. Hope your having a great week so far. Thanks for stopping by.
