  • Joey’s Pantone Party

    Joey’s Pantone Party

    Working with Sarah and Kevin for their third baby girl Joey was an absolute pleasure. Sarah is a remarkable, talented, and creative person, which made it all the more interesting to see what she had envisioned for her daughter’s party. She had many unique ideas, but was not quite certain about what she wanted.

    After some brainstorming, we decided to go with a Pantone color theme, inspired by Sarah’s desire for a minimal and uncluttered look. We selected a beautiful color palette of mustard, mint, and pink, and incorporated some of Sarah’s cute ideas into the overall concept.

    The event was held at the Carmel Mountain Country Club, a stunning venue with plenty of natural light. Angela at Wednesday Cakes created an exquisite cake, cake pops, and cookies that perfectly matched the color scheme. We also personalized Japanese pocky boxes into Pantone cards with each child’s name. We also, displayed a snack wall with colorful Asian snacks and sweets.

    The children had their own table, decorated with a colorful balloon garland and activity sheets at each place setting. We also included a bouquet of balloons and an activity for each guest to complete at every table.

    I am so pleased with how the theme turned out, and everything looked beautiful. It was an absolute joy to work with Sarah and Kevin, and I wish them all the best with their beautiful baby girl, Joey.

    Curious Elijah

    Starting my Etsy shop has really been a blessing because I get to be connected to people from all over the place and hear their stories. Then somehow I’m apart of their babies 1st birthday party. I get to help bring their vision for their baby to life. It’s a pretty amazing experience that I never thought I would be doing for people other than my tiny circle of friends. Every mom or dad has a different theme or idea on what they are looking for. It’s my job to try and design what they are envisioning. There are endless possibilities.

    I Just finished a custom series for a Curious George Dohl (Korean 1st Birthday) Curious Elijah is turning one! First of all this isn’t your typical dohl theme. But there are no restrictions when it comes to parties. They requested George to wear a hanbok (Traditional Korean Dress) and they wanted the designs to match their cake with bright colors of red, green blue and yellow. After researching all about Curious George and how things should look, I decided to make the series match the style of their book covers. Hope you guys like it.

  • A Botanical Garden Party for Meritt!

    A Botanical Garden Party for Meritt!

    Once upon a time, there was a cute and happy little girl named Meritt. Her family had planned a dreamy garden party to celebrate her special day. The party was just gorgeous, and everyone was in love with how it turned out!

    The garden was decorated with a perfect palette of muted blush pink florals and simple eucalyptus. We had worked together with the staff at Red O and their team to bring the vision to life. The result was a beautiful blend of traditions for Meritt, incorporating her Korean and Chinese roots.

    The party had all the traditional Korean customs, such as dduk rice cakes and doljabi, and they also added a nice twist of Chinese traditions. One of the highlights of the celebration was an amazing dragon dance that really wowed and entertained all the guests.

    There were plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy. The kids had a blast with the crafts, balloon twister, and amazing caricaturist. The Red O team provided awesome food and service, and there were yummy snacks for everyone to munch on.

    The desserts and cake were made by the talented three50bakes, and everyone couldn’t stop raving about how delicious they were. It was truly a feast for the senses, and Meritt was the happiest little girl in the world!

    As the sun began to set, the party slowly came to an end, but the memories of the dreamy botanical garden party would last a lifetime. It was a perfect day filled with love, laughter, and happiness, and i’m sure Meritt felt so grateful to have such an amazing family and friends who put together such a wonderful celebration for her.

  • DIY Valentine’s Day Twizzler Arrows

    DIY Valentine’s Day Twizzler Arrows

    I was in a rush to pick up my son from preschool and get to a Valentine’s day playdate at a friend’s house. I didn’t want to show up empty-handed without cards so I quickly picked up my phone and searched on my trusty Pinterest.  We had bought a huge box of twizzlers the night before for the kids in my nieces and nephews class so I looked up “twizzler v-day cards” and these simple arrows popped up.  So I thought this is perfect and super cute to make with my heart paper punch! FIY I love paper punches!!!! Best invention for the crafters out there in DIY-land! Anyways here is how it turned out!


    Not bad for a “at a whim” kind of project, right?? I just punched out hearts in various shades of pink paper and hand cut the feathered end. Then for the tags I punched out tag and hand wrote a cute message. If I hadn’t procrastinated so much I probably would have designed and printed out a tag but these hand written tags turned out cute and simple if I do say so myself!

    So here’s the process:

    • For the feathered end: cut out a rectangle about 2in x 3in.
    • Fold it in half

    • Cut the left and right edge at a diagonal.
    • Cut 2 slits on the folded end (top).
    • Cut slits all along the open edge (bottom).
