Miss Olivia Jane recently turned 7 and, this up-and-coming artist was very particular about how she wanted her cake designed. When we met with the birthday girl, we were provided with an exact drawing along with specific instructions concerning the cake’s details and color. Following her instructions, we did our best to make sure this cake was extra special for her!

The party goers also were given fun & creative favors to take home – “Paint Pallet Cake Balls!” Each cake ball was created to give the look of paint in an artist’s paint pallet. After the children have enjoyed their tasty treats, the pallets & brushes can then be reused for even more colorful fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVIA JANE!

Speak Out For Our Freedoms!

There are currently 2 bills about to go before congress known as PIPA (Protect IP Act) and SOPA (Senate and the Stop Online Piracy)

The names of these bills are misleading and complicated. I think we can all agree that stealing is wrong, and online piracy is bad. These bills, however, will not stop any of those things from happening, what it will do is effectively shutdown thousands (if not millions) of websites we love, including Facebook, Twitter, & other social networking sites.

If these bills pass, it will have a far-reaching negative impact on everyone in the in the world, not just in the USA.

The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign the petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
