Ombre Sprinkles Cake

We've been going ombre mad over on our wedding blog - a beautiful trend of graduated colour. But this amazing birthday cake stopped us in our tracks and we had to share. From Raspberri Cupcakes, there is a recipe and step by step so you can give it a go at your next party! Or how about layers of red sponge and green sprinkles for a fun Christmas cake this year?!

trick or treat!

With Halloween just around the corner we thought we'd share a super cute free download today. These fun printable party circles are an easy DIY project for Halloween. Use them as cupcake toppers and gift tags or to decorate cards, party hats, place cards and more!

With 12 coordinating images designed to be used with a 2" or 2.5" paper punch. Available as a free download in the new 'i do' it yourself shop.

5 top money saving tips for kids parties

1. Plan ahead. Leaving everything to the last minute will undoubtably mean spending money on extras. 
2. Limit the number of guests. Only invite your child's closest friends. 
3. DIY invites. Printable and personalised invites are easy with websites like idoityourself.com.au
4. Keep the food simple. Kids don't care about fancy food! Keep it simple with fairy bread, cupcakes and other finger foods.
5. Bake the cake. Make your own cake or cupcakes you can even get the kids involved in the baking!
