So Ruby had an idea a while ago to have a cake party. I think she was inspired by this photo or something ;) So we met last week and everyone just brought a cake, it was a lot of fun! Of course we snapped some photos to share with everyone.
Sweet Lucy breaking out the wine
(actually, no one opened the wine, hehe)
ahhh, it was such a silly site all of us taking photos! ;) Yea, okay we're a little crazy! That's what bloggers do, right? Sadly, this was pretty much the only group shot we got!
Blogger friends: Myra from double-sidedtape, Linda from parked together, Henny & Lucy from utterly engaged, Lillian from unstitched, Lauren from lauren elise crafted, and of course our host, Ruby from my cakies!
Ruby pretty much told me to grab whatever from her house to use as decorations so I had a blast searching her entire house and finding cute props to use! Needless to say her whole house is decorated with vintage and could be a shop or something, I love her style!
Mini pizzas were a perfect addition to our cake party.
I just grabbed a little slice of each cake and had a sampler cake platter.
It was all quite delicious!
We had plates and glue to make a diy cake stand for take home 'party' favors.
Over at the kid's table, Ruby made pepperoni pizza and
play-dough packs for the kids! So cute.
The only 'pretty' thing we didn't have was a cake cutter/slicer/lifter
thing so we improvised, it was pretty awesome ;)
Soul snuck up behind Ruby while we were taking pics, isn't she so precious?
Night drew near and we chatted endlessly about blogging and anthropolgie!
Some after-party photos. We turned around and Hannah (Henny's adorable
daughter) crawled into a bin in Ruby's backyard, so precious!
We definitely want to have another get together and open it to our local blogger reader's/friend's - anyone up for a party? :)
what a cute set up! i love all the different cake stands. xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams

ReplyDeleteWe get together once a month for a crafty event just like this here at LeafandInk. It is a fabulous way to grow closer, make scrumptious tasties and craft. We rotate who's house will be hosting it and that person/host gets to pick the them for that month. I love how we share our creativity. So happy to see you doing the same thing! Blessings, Lisa

Oh my goodness, a cake party sounds like so much fun! I must do it someday! I love your photo of the party!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo story! Looks so delicious and fun! I really like the 'play dough packs' for the kids, so creative!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea, I love cake as much as the next person but a whole cake party? I'm definatly stealing this idea for my birthday in a few weeks, except if the weathers not so good here in the uk it might be tea instead of pink lemonade, and possibly inside...darn weather!xxx
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! I am totally going to have a cake party. I absolutely adore the group photo of all you lovely ladies lined up taking pictures. It made me grin ear to ear.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and I think you would appreciate my latest post. It has cakes in it too. :)

ReplyDeleteOoooh, I totally want to invite myself. I have an itty-bitty blog, but I'm local and I love cakes. And blogs. AND Anthropologie!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I might just steal this idea for a girl's youth event :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethis looks like so much fun. cute cakes and even cuter kids = my kind of party :)
ReplyDeleteOMG look at that picture of me! LOL! good thing we didn't open it up because we might get too loud and really freak out ruby's neighbor. LOL! thank you so much for this invite. i had so much fun. sorry i had to leave so early. but the time i was there was fantastic! love you! your pics captured the fun we had so perfectly. can't wait to do cake party #2!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! What a great idea. The decor looks gorgeous and I'm jealous of all that cake. :) I'm local, would love to come and play!
ReplyDeleteLove this. The blogger photo is clearly the best. Count me in for the next party?
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! Seems like an excellent idea for a party! Too bad I just moved to san diego from LA. But I'm still close by in case you invite more bloggers to the next one! It would be an honor!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of still off you with your cameras cracked me up! I understand completely!
this is such a good idea - i think i will try this next time a girl friend has a birthday - those cakes look so good, the only problem is, i have(lots of)cake on my mind now!...xox
