Andrade 60th Wedding Anniversary (Reyes/Agnes)

My mother in law enlisted me to help her with her parents 60th wedding anniversary. After discussion over theme, colors, etc... I decided instead of a cake, I would do cupcakes and just "Tamify" them. I found the gold sugar sprinkles at a local baking supply store that I frequent called Sweet Mercantile. I found the cupcake wrappers HERE and I bought the cupcakes at Sam's Club. Here is how they turned out:

**Note; the cupcake wrappers are reversible so I put the polka-dots on the chocolate ones and the "Happy Anniversary" on the white.

When a "theme" was being discussed, I threw out the idea of family photos on the tables. This is what my Sister In Law came up with and my Step Daughter did the money tree. They both did a great job in making the idea much better then I could or would have done. Thanks Amber and Jackie!!!

Here are the invitations I made:

Andrade Wedding (Victor/Delores)

I was asked to do some last minute wedding invitations for a family member. This is how they turned out. I had some trouble with our printer so they are not perfectly centered but they worked and the bride and groom loved them! I also wanted to try making these brownie balls. I had some trouble covering them with the white chocolate because the brownie kept wanting to fall off the stick. There were some last minute issues so I never made it to the wedding/reception so I took the brownies to work and tested them. Everyone said they were great. I may try them again at a later date.

Party Invites

So I decided that I wanted to have my own Twilight party and set to work on the invitations! With some help from Lacy, this is what I came up with. Since we are having our party right before the premier of Eclipse, I chose the above picture for the front. The red satin ribbon is from the book cover.

There will be 8 girls in the "coven" and each will be bringing a Twilight themed favor. We have many things in the works for Twilight themed foods and fun. I'll be sure to post more pictures later...
