Swanky New York City Club

Tweet

Sweet Sixteen Cupcake Tower made to resemble a Swanky New York City Lounge. Topper Cake was done to look like the outside of "Club 16" complete with velvet rope and a red carpet. The cupcakes were decorated with mod circles, diamonds, and squares which indicated what filling was inside each one.

I had so much fun with this project, thanks to Amanda (Audra's sister) who had an amazing vision and gave me the freedom to take her idea and run with it. The Velvet Rope and Red Carpet were made by Amanda and it was truly the finishing touch needed to create such a wonderful display! Thanks for your help girl!

"Outside of Club Sixteen"

We used little lights to light up the cake, just like a real club

Happy Birthday Meghan, Audra, and Carly!

Finally, a Cupcake Party for Maddie's 8th Birthday!

We set up this ultra Girly Party with a Shopping Boutique and a Cupcake Decorating Station. 

The girls were given "Maddie Money" that they could spend in the boutique. The girls had a great time getting messy and spending "money" haha. The perfect party for the girliest girls!

The girls had a blast and we were exhausted by the end of the night, I'd say it was a success!

Happy Birthday Maddie!
