Today’s real party is truly a pleasure for me to post. I received this party from one of my previous cake customers back in Dallas. I designed a first birthday cake for Erin’s oldest daughter almost four years ago. I was thrilled to not only hear from her, but to know that she continues to follow Half Baked. Erin’s second little girl just recently turned one and she put together this fabulous Pink Sparkle Party for the celebration.
This party is just too cute and the birthday girl could not be more adorable! Erin created most of the details herself, including the cupcakes, toppers, cupcake stand, photos, and scrapbook. The pom poms are from
ADashofColor on Etsy. The birthday outfit is from
ChicBabyRose on Etsy and the cake is from
Theme Cakes by Traci. Here is a little of what Erin had to say about this event:
“We celebrated at my parents beach house near Galveston. My girls wore matching outfits from Etsy that were so cute! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a picture of them together because….well, they are 3 and 1 so they don’t always cooperate! ha! We grilled burgers and hot dogs while the kids played bubbles, threw water balloons, and grabbed candy from the pinata. After all the celebrating, we headed on the beach for play!”
A special thanks to Erin for sharing this adorable Pink Sparkle Party with us! You can see more of this party here on her blog.
Another great week comes to a close here at Half Baked with yet another Fabulous Cake. I actually spotted this cake over on Style Me Pretty and instantly fell in love. This modern and sleek design is the creation of Luisa Galuppo Cakes and I know you’re going to love it!
I just love this design! The black and white color combination is so crisp and clean while the fondant ruffles add a soft feminine touch. The black separating tiers pair perfectly with the black cake stand. And the black lace gives this design a just little bit of edginess. It all works together beautifully.
Many kudos to Luisa Galuppo on a cake well done and to Davina + Daniel on their stunning photography. Be sure to hop on over to Lisa’s website to see more of her amazing cake creations!
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend!

We’re continuing on with our summer theme this week, featuring yet another birthday party perfect for summer time. This charming S’mores Camp Out was created by Lisa from Moore Minutes for her son’s birthday. We first introduced you to Lisa when we featured her Vintage Picnic back in July. We loved that picnic and we love this camp out! Take a look…
Lisa created the perfect balance between rustic camp out and playful birthday fun! I love how the extra special chocolate goodies take traditional s’mores to the next level. And the marshmallow toppers with sayings such as “Go Take a Hike” and “Happy Campers” are such a cute addition.
A very special thank you to Lisa for submitting this delightful party to us. To see s’more of this party, be sure to check out this post and this post on Lisa’s blog, Moore Minutes.
