a cake party with friends:

July 6, 2011

So Ruby had an idea a while ago to have a cake party. I think she was inspired by this photo or something ;) So we met last week and everyone just brought a cake, it was a lot of fun! Of course we snapped some photos to share with everyone.

Sweet Lucy breaking out the wine
(actually, no one opened the wine, hehe)

ahhh, it was such a silly site all of us taking photos! ;) Yea, okay we're a little crazy! That's what bloggers do, right? Sadly, this was pretty much the only group shot we got!

Blogger friends: Myra from double-sidedtape, Linda from parked together, Henny & Lucy from utterly engaged, Lillian from unstitched, Lauren from lauren elise crafted, and of course our host, Ruby from my cakies!

Ruby pretty much told me to grab whatever from her house to use as decorations so I had a blast searching her entire house and finding cute props to use! Needless to say her whole house is decorated with vintage and could be a shop or something, I love her style!

Photobucket
Mini pizzas were a perfect addition to our cake party.

Photobucket
I just grabbed a little slice of each cake and had a sampler cake platter.
It was all quite delicious!

We had plates and glue to make a diy cake stand for take home 'party' favors.

Over at the kid's table, Ruby made pepperoni pizza and
play-dough packs for the kids! So cute.

The only 'pretty' thing we didn't have was a cake cutter/slicer/lifter
thing so we improvised, it was pretty awesome ;)
Soul snuck up behind Ruby while we were taking pics, isn't she so precious?

Photobucket
Night drew near and we chatted endlessly about blogging and anthropolgie!

Photobucket
Some after-party photos. We turned around and Hannah (Henny's adorable
daughter) crawled into a bin in Ruby's backyard, so precious!

Photobucket
We definitely want to have another get together and open it to our local blogger reader's/friend's - anyone up for a party? :)

  34. We get together once a month for a crafty event just like this here at LeafandInk. It is a fabulous way to grow closer, make scrumptious tasties and craft. We rotate who's house will be hosting it and that person/host gets to pick the them for that month. I love how we share our creativity. So happy to see you doing the same thing! Blessings, Lisa

  37. This is such a good idea, I love cake as much as the next person but a whole cake party? I'm definatly stealing this idea for my birthday in a few weeks, except if the weathers not so good here in the uk it might be tea instead of pink lemonade, and possibly inside...darn weather!xxx
