Recently I've been completely neglecting my blog (sorry, I still love you!) I've just been so busy,
I'm trying to organise a surprise 50th birthday party for my mum and uncle, which, as easy as it sounds, is turning out to a A LOT harder than I first thought. I'm an only child, and with having such a small immediate family, I've found myself trying to do this all on my own. The first wall I hit was the date. I found the perfect venue, for the day after their birthday! I'd need to spend the day decorating the venue, but my uncle then explained a few days later how he is planning to get tickets for us to go to Norwich vs Fulham, so that option was off the cards! So I've now had to settled for a hall for the weekend before, which is 6 days before their birthday, so I guess they won't see it coming :).
I want to make all the cakes myself, so that's 150 cupcakes and a Bon Jovi Have A Nice Day cake (the above picture) I have to try and make witthout them knowing! So I've decided the theme is going to be black, red, and white. My friends friend is going to make a big balloon arch, 2 balloon towers and blow up all the helium balloons I need for just £60! A bargain if you ask me :o)

I've also recently come across 'Sweet Trees', and it's safe to say I'm completely and utterly fascinated by them! I plan on attempting to make several (several being 8 or 10) for table centrepieces, then guests can sit, have a drink and a couple of sweets :)! The above pictures are just a few of many examples of some of the amazing things you can do with the right type of sweet!

Hey hun. I tried a marshmallow one, it wasn't as bad as expected! Only had trouble securing the styrofoam ball onto the pole, but as they say practice makes perfect :)
