Pony Cake and Party Streamers

Pony Cake

I love to bake. I usually bake cookies, muffins, breads, and pies.

Birthday cakes I love to make for my hubby and  kids on their special day.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to decorate the pony cake for my daughter’s Vintage Equestrian Birthday Party last month.

I figured I was going to simply outline a horse in icing then fill it in but I had a lightbulb moment a few days before the party.

So I wanted to share this super easy way that I decorated this pony cake!

Pony Cake | somuchbetterwithage.com

First, you need to find an image of a horse {or whatever design you are creating} on the web.

The easiest way to get a clean image is to type “horse silhouette”. That way you get a clean black image and it will be easy to cut out.

Print your image.

Then you just cut out the image with an exacto-knife.

Prep your cake and make sure the icing is still soft, don’t let it harden.

 Place your stencil on the center of your cake.

 And make sure to press the stencil down into the icing.

 Have your handy helper sprinkle {or just dump} the chocolate sprinkles into the middle of the stencil.

Side note, putting this cake on large baking sheet would have been a really smart idea to catch the extra sprinkles!

 Gently press the sprinkles into the cake and gently lift off the stencil.

 Voila! A pretty pink pony cake.

Now here is the recipe I always use for vanilla cake or cupcakes. So delicious!

Party Streamers

A simple way to add party decor to your home is to throw some party streamers over a chandelier!

Party streamers

I stood on this table and added a streamer that is the same length on each side. It just hangs over the edge of the chandelier. No tape needed. Then I cut the bottom of each streamer like a ribbon.

The fun part was hiding the favors for the little party guests in between the streamers 😉

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it?
