11.23.14: November Baby
Hello, dolls! 🙂 Aaah what a week. The first half of my week was pretty stressful because of work. One thing that I realized and understood during my “stressful work days” is why Chefs can come off short tempered or just always in a bad mood. We work a lot of hours on our feet, we could spend 6 hours cooking a perfect dish, and aaah don’t even get me started with the heat..so yeah, it only takes one stubborn person to piss us off,especially if that person doesn’t understand food — and what we do!

I am going to lighten up my mood by thinking about the fun first birthday I attended a couple of weeks ago.
One of my gal pals did a great job organizing a little monster-themed first birthday party for her son. I loved all the details especially her DIYs.
The welcome table.
Frances’ homemade granola bars for the guests, the witty chalkboard with some facts about baby Roger,and the thumbprint canvas as the guestbook.


Best of friends
A and I arrived before the party to help the Roger and Frances with the party.
The family wore matching denim button downs! Perfect for this handsome fall baby! 🙂
The dessert table had the cutest details!
Frances is super creative and she’s great with fondants. She created these little monster toppers!
Double chocolate cupcakes with little monster toppers.
Okay, I died!! This tiny pumpkin made of fondant is the too adorable for me.
Carrot Cupcake for a touch of autumn!
Berries and cream cupcakes. YUM!
Frances literally spent all night finishing this cake. She piped every bit of orange on the cake and it turned out to be perfect for her little monster-themed birthday party!


The candy bar was a hit! Everyone enjoyed filling up our containers with sweet treats.

I love being a part of this boy’s life! <3
So proud of this Momma and everything she does!! <3
