The stuff of dreams – that’s what this Sweet Shoppe Birthday Party was made of.
Shelley of How Does She threw the most adorable party for her twin daughters’, Chloe and Sophi’s, first birthday.
A pink sweet table with this cupcake centerpiece and all sorts of treats!
An ice cream buffet, cute party printables and more! Click here if you’d like to see all the party pics and check out her fantastic ‘how to’ site.
Shelley and I traded skills for the party; I ended up making the cookies.
This is the party invitation printed onto rice paper with edible ink.
For a quick tutorial on putting edible ink images on cookies, click here.
Holly’s Sweets & Eats was where I bought this cake tier:
I use a KopyKake projector to help me draw images on cookies. For more info. on the projector click here.
A ‘how-to’ on creating the swirls in the coffee and ice cream (above), can be found here.

I do have to mention here that I don’t actually do orders – there just isn’t enough time – this was an exception as Shelley and I decided to exchange our skills eons in advance.
In return, Shelley made me an adorable apron and recipe box.
The apron is reversable! So cute!
She of picked my favorite colors of course! 😉
Thanks so much Shelley!

I can’t lie. I froze a few, just for because they didn’t get eaten at the party and were too pretty to throw away. 😉

Love the cake tier!
Can you buy online? Or is it only instore? Can I ask how much it is? Want to know if it’s worth the drive to Barrie.
Thanks!
marian says
HI @ Tiffany: As far as I know they don’t have it in stock any more =( (I posted this almost 2 years ago), but they do have other cool cake stands. Maybe call and see if they have their selection on line? Good luck!
Tiffany says
@ marian:
Haha, no problem. Thought the post looked familiar! I just followed the photo links via facebook. Thanks for the replying! I’m all the way out in burlington, so perhaps I’ll look for something closer to home…
P.S Just have to say because of you I now make awesome sugar cookies, so big thanks!! Been following your blog almost since the beginning!
marian says
Hi @ Tiffany, thanks for following me here. 🙂 A good friend of mine lives in Burlington, and it is a bit of a drive. I’m sure you’ve been to Golda’s in Mississauga already, but if you haven’t… oh boy, you’re in for some fun if you go! (They don’t have a lot of cake stand selection, but they do have amazing baking supplies). Have fun decorating and hope to see you around here!
