Tatiana's 1st Princesses Birthday Party

In my, errr, limited years of experience, I usually find the coming of the "-ber"ending months the busiest. The coming of September not only means for me booking bazaars and ordering packaging boxes and walnuts for Christmas (they become quite expensive as the holidays draw near) but also bracing myself for the influx of birthday cakes and cupcakes orders. Every week there is always something to do and someone who books!

Don't get me wrong... I'm not complaining. I'm happiest when I am busy as a bee! Anyway, this post features my first full blast "Stef S." party for the month. (Well, I'm posting it because I love the party theme! ha!) Tatiana, the 1 year old birthday celebrant had a Disney Princesses Theme. Her mommy ordered the Princess Doll Cake with 60 pieces flower cupcakes, 50 Chocolate apples for her giveaways and Chocolate fountain with fruits, biscuits and mallows as dips (Choco fountain pic not included).

The Princess Cake, cupcakes and Chocolate Apples

I was excited when I booked this project. The original plan for the Princess Doll cake was to buy a barbie doll and 'murder' her by cutting her in half! Thank goodness for my habit of checking out baking supply stores. I decided to pass by Cooks Exchange in Glorietta 4 and "voila!" a conveniently naked and half Barbie with a plastic stick as legs! Saves me the trouble of commiting a "crime".


I'd like to thank Mr. Wilton for coming up with the "Color Mist Spray". It's used to tint your icings by spraying... kinda like the Pylox for cupcake icings. Anyway, this little baby gave an a amazing two tone color on to my icing. I tinted first the buttercream with purple as base and spritz a little of the Color Mist Spray for a little definition. PRETTY!

See the subtle gorgeous hint of blue???

The chocolate apples or "crazy apples" as what I call them, are the easiest but messiest to do! Simply melt the chocolate ( I use premium chocolate for my apples), bring it to the right temperature for dipping, dip and shake it a bit and go crazy with the sprinkles and candies! ( My little sister choose to help me only during the sprinkles part.)
