Nikita's Babushka Birthday Party

Our baby Babushka is Six! 

With Nikita for a name and a love of all things Babushka and parties, a Babushka theme was a natural choice for an exciting and fun 6th birthday party.  

Nikita's book ends became the style inspiration, 

and the colour palette her favorite colours 

Yellow, Pink and Blue.

We carried the style into
the invitations, table backdrop, drink bottle wrappers, cupcake toppers, chocolate
bar wrappers, party bag
thank you cards, and the
Pin the Lips on the
Babushka game. All
designed by the uber
talented Li-Ann from Ham and Pea Paperie.

We fell in love with the idea of a
stand up Babushka Doll Birthday Cake
and the very talented Kellie from
Belle Maison Cakes created the
most amazing cake based on the
Invitation design.

Other party food was either Babushka Doll shaped or matched the colour palette.

We had some lovely Babushka
party products at Party&Co
and used Robert Gordon's
melamine Plates, Bowls, and Cups, along with coordinating paper cupcake cups.

We found a stunning pink ceramic Drink Dispenser and matched it with ceramic milk bottles for juice.

Traditional party games of Egg and Spoon Race, Pulling Rope, Three Legged Race, and Sack Race entertained the children. Of course there had to be Babushka game 'Pin the Lips on the Babushka' and a Babushka Pinata, hand made by Daddy.










Our little guests were sent home with a Babushka party box, the girls were filled with Babushka toys.

Elephant Cookies - Icing 'How To'

Elephant Cookies - Icing 'How
shared by Marian of Sweetopia http://sweetopia.net/

I had to share this tutorial by the very talented Marian of Sweetopia, she is an amazingly talented lady who shares her love and skill of decorating cookies on her blog and in pinterest.

I was just adding this elephant cookie cutter on Party&Co and I remembered I had seen a great icing demo so off I went searching, I hope it inspires and guides you. Cheers, Deb x



Decorating Steps
What you'll need:
Piping Tip #2
Piping Bag
Couplers
Small fondant rolling pin
Fondant and heart punch cutter (*Optional – Heart can be piped with icing)
Gel paste colors


Step One: Outline the elephant shape with royal icing. For detailed decorating tips, this tutorial may be helpful for you. 

Step Two: With the same icing, flood, or fill in your shape.



Step Three: Let the base dry for at least 6-12 hours.


Step Four: Add the ear by outlining and filling in right away.


Step Five: Add a small black dot of icing for the eye. Let the ear and eye dry for a minimum of 6-12 hours.




Step Six: Roll out your white fondant to about 2mm thick, and punch out a heart shape.

Step Seven: Adhere fondant heart to ear with a dab of icing.


Adorable!




Elephant Cookie Cutter Cutouts:

One tip for cutting out the elephant shapes; dip the cutter in flour first so that the dough slides out better, especially with a slim shape like the elephant trunk. I use a silicon pastry brush to dust off the excess flour.
