Exciting Announcement

I'm very excited to announce that I am working on a deal to partner up with a good friend of mine so I can offer full catering in addition to the baking stuff I already offer and event/party planning. At this time when I book an event I have to hire a caterer and I do have some tables and chairs but do have to rent for big events which is extra money for the budget that I would like to be able to reduce the cost of for my clients. I am working on having a full time food caterer and then having all my own tables, chairs, tents, linens, flatware and table settings for all events. I will have more details in the next coming weeks but am very excited to offer this for my customers. This way I like to always be able to work with everyone's budget and try to make events/parties as affordable for everyone as I can. It is a huge investment and chance for me to make everything one stop for client's. I would be able to offer a wide variety of different types of food, buffets services and party rental supplies direct from my company=). That way if you are planning a wedding, birthday party or office party, any type of event you can get your food, drinks, servers, tables, decorations, invites and desserts all from Dliteful Creations and Designs! I already have folding tables and some chairs, lots of props, decor and customizable themed decor for events, and as I grow I have more and more supplies. A good friend of mine is an amazing cook and she is also dedicated to making everything amazing and creative same way as me, so I think it would be an amazing addition. Once we have everything together I will post some menus and pricing then I think I am going to throw an event just so that everyone can come out and see how I throw a party, the detail from the invites, decor, centerpieces, food, wine, beverages, candy and dessert table and so on. I think it would be a great way for my clients and friend's to see how talented I am and how professional my business is. Stay posted in the next couple of weeks for more details. Till then I have an event this Friday for Prissy Fitness and then next Wednesday for Beso Real Boutique in Cooper City, will have lots of photos going up tonight thru the weekend of the sweets and decorations I am putting together for the events. Also if you own a company and ever hold a event that is to raise money for a charity or a party for exposure I can donate items or work on tight budgets to supply items, I love the exposure and I like to do things for a good cause. Please contact me directly for more details. Have a Dliteful week=)

DIY Hurricane Candle Holders! Cost $2

I am pretty sure everyone has a local Dollar Tree where they live, I got this idea from a you tube video that dollar tree posted on my facebook as one of their posts. I go there all the time and I have tons of their candle sticks, candle plates, vases, candy dishes etc. These were so simple to make I bought some adhesive from Dollar tree that works on glass, sand paper then candle stick holders, vases in several sizes, candy dish, candle dish and other cool little things I thought would make cute candle holders, candy dishes, or cake plates. I simply sanded the area I was going to apply the glue, then wiped it down to make sure the surface was clean, applied the adhesive to both the candle stick and the bottom of the vases, pulled apart and let sit for 5 minutes then re applied the vase to the stick, then let dry overnight. Then for $2 plus an additional $2 for the glue and sandpaper which can be used for many of these, you have an amazing hurricane candle holder, potpourri holder, candy holder, you could even put lemons or fruit, or hot glue a wick to the bottom and pour wax inside and make a large candle. It is an amazing DIY idea and I made three so far and tomorrow I am going to make some with lids, I got these amazing glass candy jars that came with lids that look cute on top of the candle sticks. Got to love Dollar Tree, then you can buy rocks, sand, potpourri, candles, shells, fake fruit or even fake flowers from Dollar tree to put inside. They make great gift ideas, party centerpieces, party favors, or just great to use around your home. I am going to use some for my candy stations at parties to fill with lots of sugar filled treats=). Enjoy and let me know if you make some, send me some pictures.

Made for my friend for her new baby, put a towel, washclothes, soap, shampoo, powder, lotion, pacifier, and a monkey stuffed animal, also used a swaddling blankey to wrap the wash clothes in same color scheme, neutrals cause when I got the stuff didn't know if baby was a boy or girl. Came out cute, got some nice fabric that was see thru and pale yellow almost like tulle to wrap it in and I made a bow with a mini monkey pacifier holder in the center, didn't take pictures of it wrapped, not sure why thought I did

Bridal shower cake, custom ordered and designed

BuTtErFlIeS! Great for birthday, shower and wedding

I love butterflies, who doesn't they are so gorgeous and fragile. They look amazing on cakes and cupcakes. Great for bridal showers, baby showers, weddings, and birthday cakes.

She loved this for her rehearsal dinner and it came out amazing this i used the left over butterflies from the cupcakes I made her for the cake tasting which was attended at my home by her, her future husband and the mother of both the bride and groom.

These butterflies are paper ones I found at the craft store and look so realistic it is amazing, they are delicate and come in many colors, I attach them to picks and then stick them where needed, I can also make them out of sugar paste to be edible just won't look as realistic. I was asked to make a wedding cake by client with butterflies in her color scheme and flowers, so for the tasting when she came to taste all my amazing home made batters I put together some cupcakes and used these paper style butterflies to show her them, she was in love=). Nothing like another happy client and especially a bride to be. A wedding cake is the most important of all the cakes I make cause they are for a couple's special day, a day they will never forget and I was nervous at first to make my first wedding cake, luckily it was an easy request just white fondant with red ribbon and red rose petals which came out gorgeous, was a little testing because she wanted re velvet cake and to cover red with white fondant is challenging you don't want the color to show through but I used buttercream and did a thick coat for the crumb coat and it was perfect.



Here is the amazing cake finished, the top is a foam ball covered in fondant so that I could have something sturdy to push the flowers into. She went with white butterflies so it wasn't to busy but I made her a cake for her dinner the night before the wedding with all her family using the colored ones I had bought. The bottom of the cake is a 3 layer red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, the covered with white marshmallow fondant, this is the part they cut for there photos and cause her wedding was turquoise and peach/light pink I went easy on the red coloring so the cake looked the same as the flowers on top, almost like a pink/peach velvet, from what she told me was gorgeous and delicious waiting for her proofs from the photographer wedding was New Years Eve=). I then did a yellow moist cake for second layer which is a 12" round, then a 8" round dark decadent chocolate one of my most popular next to red velvet flavors, this way her guests had a selection of flavors, on of the layers has buttercream marshmallow fondant and the other has white chocolate enriched marshmallow fondant. The silver cake stand is mine, purchased at Home Goods is part of a line called Opulent Treasures, I have cupcake stands, cake stand, dessert platters and matching candle holders, some silver, gold and a lot with tons of crystals, just dripping with bling. I rent these for $50 deposit and then you get $25 back upon return, some are a little more depending on how much the stand retailed for. Believe it or not but sometimes, especially at a wedding the stand can be very important it doesn't look very pretty to have a wedding cake sitting on a cake board even if it is silver and has flowers around it lol. I can't wait to see the professional pictures the photographer took, the florist did a great job adding that little something extra using the rose petals on the cake table. I know I would have loved this cake at my wedding and for under $600 it was a deal, a lot of cakes this size with this much detail believe it or not would cost $1,000 I make my cakes for as little as possible, I charge for the supplies and then the labor, this cake took me two days and many hours, lost a lot a sleep stressing cause wedding cakes really stress me out lol, I want them perfect. Also made a sheet cake of red velvet for the caterer to start slicing while the couple was cutting the cake so they could start passing out the plates right after then take the rest to the back and finish cutting, she had 200 guests and not a slice left over lol.
This was the photo she sent me originally that she had gotten of the internet, with the message I love this want different color butterflies, maybe white and cake to be tall, grand to serve 150-200 people and flowers on top please. My budget is $1200 and I would love to have you make my shower cake and rehearsal dinner cake also for out of town guests in similar style

Please keep in mind I can make ANYTHING, you like. If you have a favorite color, style or if you google and see a cake that you love online just copy it and email or text it to me and I can make it maybe even way better then the one you liked. Look at the sample she sent me, I think my version was way better and for way less, she was quoted $1000 for that cake for 150-200 guests I don't want to say exactly what I charged her cause I made her 3 cakes, a shower cake, cake for rehearsal dinner and the wedding cake so I didn't it as a package kind of but she paid 1200 for all three cakes and they were all gorgeous, I will post photo of the bridal shower cake, which her maid of honor picked the design. It was gorgeous a little hard to make lol, thank you Brenda but everyone loved it. Order you cake today by texting or calling Melissa at (954) 604-4713 or you can email me at DlitefulCreations@ymail.com or look me up on facebook www.facebook.com/dlitefulcreations and be sure to hit the like button while you are there I give away free stuff to every so many likes I pick #'s then who ever is that # to like my page gets the free gift. Also don't forget I do event/party planning, everything from the invitations to food, cakes, decor, centerpieces, linens, tables/chair rentals, inflatable rentals, cotton candy, sno cones, henna tattoos, glitter tattoos, candy stations, chocolate fountains, fondue, favors, piniatas, character rentals and clowns, then I do custom decorating, interior design, home staging, personal shopping, painting and all kinds of crafts. I love to make things and do diy projects all the time so there is no event, decor plan or craft I can't do and wouldn't love it in the process! My pricing is competitive and even usually a lot lower cause I understand with the economy people can not afford 300-1000 cakes, I make the cakes for the cost of supplies and most of the charge is labor cause these cakes are VERY time consuming to make even the simplest ones take hours of prepping, baking, and then decorating. I make everything from scratch and my fondant take an hour or more to make then must be refrigerated for days to be the perfect consistency for molding and working with. My cakes I usually bake the night before, then crumb coat and allow to sit over night then decorate as close to the event as possible so everything is fresh and Dliteful=)! I look forward to and hope to work with you soon on your Dliteful cake, event, party or home! Please be sure to tell all your friends about this blog and share my facebook link. I appreciate any and all advertising that is free lol.
