Come one, Come All! Its Mochi's BIG TOP 3rd Circus Pawty and we had a ball!

I had an amazing time planning this special circus pawty for my sweet pup, Mochi. It was his 3rd birthday and I wanted to do something special for him! To celebrate his BIG TOP 3rd, I planned a vintage circus inspired dog birthday pawty for my sweet Mo. 

I had awesome help from my good friend, Abigail Lodevico from Abs of Cakes who did an amazing job creating and designing the beautiful and yummy cake treats, banners and cake toppers! I also had my wonderful photographer friend, Ellie come out to capture beautiful shots of the circus pawty!

All circus guests enjoyed a variety of circus sweets and treats. Mochi's circus pup guests came decked out in their circus inspired attire and enjoyed a feast of doggy circus treats! We had an awesome cirque de pup treat station full of peanut butter pupcakes (they are cupcakes for dogs!) and beef and chicken treats in beautiful apothacary jars and bone shaped bowls. I also had thank you bags for all the circus pup guests who came to celebrate Mo's 3rd! After the festivites, Mo's doggy friends all enjoyed a cinnamon and banana vintage ball birthday cake that was woofin' delicious! 

The humans at the pawty weren't left out with the cirque de feast of treats!

We had a cirque de sweets human treats table, decked out with awesome red velvet and yellow cupcakes topped with yummy cream cheese frosting, cotton candy, chocolate covered pretzels, a circus candy station, candied apple cakepops (they were really red velvet cakes that looked like candied apples) and delicious caramel popcorn!

The circus feast also included a Hot Dog Station with a variety of hot dog toppings and hots dogs (turkey, beef, chicken and veggie) AND a yummy potluck table full of circus inspired food!

Mo's circus guests paraded around in their circus attire and the best circus costume won a fun prize! My friend Selecia's doggy, Yogi who was dressed as an elephant, won best dressed! After the costume contest, we had circus doggy games and winners won fun toys and prizes! 

A special thank you to Abs for creating and designing all the paper banners and cake toppers, cupcakes, candied apple cakepops, peanut butter pupcakes and the awesome cinnamon and  banana vintage ball birthday cake! Check out her page Abs of Cakes for her beautiful cake design work!

A big thank you also to my friend, Ellie, for taking such wonderful pictures of Mochi's circus pawty! Check out her beautiful photography portfolio on www.eloisanadine.blogspot.com

Lastly, Thank you to Mochi's circus pawty guests, both human and pups AND my friends and family for helping make Mochi's 3rd a BIG TOP circus celebration!

Christine's Sweet Bundle of Joy

                  





                                      





                                    


                                      
  




What better way to welcome Baby Madison into the world by celebrating it with her mommy, a pink Piglet lover!

It was a complete joy to work on my coworkers Christine's first baby shower for her bundle of joy, Madison. Because of her love for Piglet, my coworkers and I just had to create a pretty and pink Piglet theme, along with sweet treats and pretty florals to match. Mary and Blessy whipped up cute little lollipops and cakepops and I picked up sweet mini cupcakes adorned with baby bottles from Miss Priss Cupcakes matching the whole pink theme. My talented photographer friend, Ellie, came and took awesome shots of the whole afternoon. Thank you for capturing the sweet moments Ellie :) Check out her work on www.eloisanadine.blogspot.com

It was an afternoon of pink and piglet, baby shower games, potluck surprises and lots of baby gifts! Welcome, Baby Madison!
