This week was my sister in-law Lisa's birthday and my brother wanted to do up a little surprise get together. So he called in the troops to help him get ready for the day. Of course I was more than happy to help out with the decorations and the cake, two of my favorite things to do.
I wanted to go with Yellow, Grey & White for colors, so for
the banner I picked a grey fabric and a yellow ribbon.

I found this triangle template over at Lovely Traub Life and simply cut them out and then sewed the edges. I used my heat transfer vinyl for the lettering and then sewed the ribbon on top. I love the look of the pendent banners.
I wish I had taken some pictures of all the flowers that I had picked up, I think we had about 8 or 9 vases full of beautiful flowers.
Of course you can't have a birthday party without a cake. So going with the flower/garden theme I made these funky flower pot cakes.
My mom had this pot that she thought would work perfectly.
I baked the cakes in here and then filled the center hole with a butter cream/cake mix.
This was before putting all the finishing touches and fondant flowers on the cake, I know not so pretty yet.
After putting on all the flowers and leaves it sure came to life. The difficult part for me is always to transporting, I kinda cross my fingers and hope it makes it there in one piece, lol.
Did anyone else help to celebrate a birthday this weekend?
