Posted this back in June under a different page, updating to this account

You can scroll thru my previous posts to see my parties, candy buffets and sweet tables along with a lot of cupcakes, cakes and cake pops. I have some design stuff and crafts I have made and sold also. Here are some photos of a few unfinished projects I am still working on. I also blog about where to find and DIY stuff on my other blog. I will be updating this blog more with more photos as well as customer/client referrals and more coming soon. I am planning to take a business course, design course and thinking a pastry chef training as well. I am self taught but to break into this career on the professional level I want to have more training.

I love events and parties from weddings, baby showers, birthday parties and business parties. Enjoy the photos of my design work and have more to come:) I can be reached at dlitefulcreations@ymail.com for placing orders and booking:).

Not sure what happened I posted this back in June of some of my recent work and passed work but the two posts never were shown, seems there was another page under cakes that it got posted to.

Halloween/Fall Wreaths

Here are some photos of some holiday crafting I have been doing.  I am going to take photos of all the custom stuff I make, handmade goodies, baked goodies and more.  Also once I get the house decorated I will try to post some photos of that as well.

First off I made a Halloween wreath that was witch themed for myself, but a friend saw it and offered me money for it so I couldn't turn her down.  She also happens to be a neighbor so the other neighbors have all been asking so I showed them a few ideas I had found for wreaths on pinterest and Michael's site now I am making them for people and charging anywhere from $35-$65 depending on size, theme, detail and expense for products.  The photos below are not finished, they are still being completed.  Just wanted to get some samples up so you can get an idea of how they look.  The witch one will have legs dangling from the bottom on one and the other one I used a broom instead of the word eek.  Then the fall ones I have owls, scarecrows, turkey, acorns, and so much more.  Also have these cute bells that are shaped either like pumpkins or acorns if you want one that makes a little noise, some people like that on the door so they hear when it is opened or closed.  I will be posting more photos after the weekend cause during the week I have to literally steal time from my kids and taking care of my mom to get any time to do anything like this.  Things have been hectic with two kids in school now and since my mom fell and broke her hip=(.

I also make fall/thanksgiving which I have a photo of one, ones with initials, house numbers, anytime of the year wreaths, any holiday, candle wreaths, smaller ones, all kinds of things.  I love to do crafts.  I also make blinged out candles, candle holders, towels, jewelry, chair covers for the holidays, blinged out phone case, ipod covers, pumpkins, anything you can think of I can bling it up.

Look through my blog for my Halloween event last year if you want to see some of my custom decor, dessert/candy table for Halloween and my custom Halloween cakes, cupcakes, and treats.  I love the holidays and tend to go over board lol.  I just got an awesome pan to make a skeleton in a tomb I can't wait to make it similar to the 3d skull, spider and other types of cakes I have made.

Off to make some more wreaths.

Also there is some photos of a 3 pumpkin stacked topiary with the letter B-O-O on it I got off pinterest. Check out my pinterest page and follow me on there, there should be a link on this blog in side bar, if not go to the top of this page and click the link to my other blog DLitefultrends.  There is for sure a link there for my pinterest account and while you are there look at the menu bar on that page for a contest I am hosting.  Giving away some nail polish and custom made earrings.  Many more contest/giveaways to come, going to try to do one every month or every other month to generate more followers.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Melissa

Rocked out room for Hannah!

Here are the before pictures of Hannah's room




The cushion in the making, fabric picked by Hannah

The bed before I went to set up everything right after room had been painted
New paint the inside of closet is chalk board paint
Wall color is Ryan Red from Benjamin Moore
This is the nook I came up with for a seating area and she also can remove the custom cushion and use it as a stage cause she loves to sing, play guitar and she does plays=)
Curtains made the bed look much nicer and more like a real bed. Curtains are from Target and bedding, pillows are from Anna's, throw is from Kirklands, and one pillow was custom made with fabric left over from the cushion. Tables and all furniture is from Ikea
Dresser and then I painted the mirror black to match, Ikea dresser

Guitar frame to hold pictures from Kirklands and trash can from Ikea
Ikea book shelf with adjustable shelves for storage and display
Guitars hung on the wall with guitar holders. These made the room who needs wall art when you have amazing guitars like these, and she plays them.

Nook with magnet board from Ikea and special message to Hannah from mom and dad, she is so lucky to have such amazing, cool and loving parents=)
Corner next to nook and bed, rug and table from Ikea



Finished the rock and roll themed room, posted some before and in the process pictures in the blog last week here are some pictures to refresh your memory, and show you the finished project=)
