Just three main projects this month, as we were away for half of Jan, but I hope there’s something that can act as your craft inspo!

1. Princess Cupcakes

My niece turned five and at a princess themed party, and here are the cupcakes I made! I used my Cricut to make the toppers to signify different princesses. (clockwise) Anna (Frozen), a rose (Beauty and the Beast), a succulent amidst flowers (Isabelle from Encanto), glass slipper (Cinderella), sun (Tangled).

2. A Cinderella-Inspired Dress

I made this dress up as I went, with blue satin, blue cotton lining, white organza sleeves, and ribbon. I tried a faux-corset back for the first time and think it adds a princess-y feel. The photos are post-party, so there are some sticky-kid marks, but all in good fun!

3. A whimsical, floral, chocolate cake for a 2nd birthday

This was the most fun I’ve had making a cake ever! This was due to a few things: I had plenty of time to make it, I figured out a new icing technique that made things much quicker, and all of the piping was just so fun – I love working with buttercream and got to use six different piping tips, and this was the first time I could get out my palette-knives too.

I did begin a few other projects – you’ll have to wait until next month to see them!
