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 😉

Instagram post 2169929051393555426_277411407 I’m usually dying to set up my Christmas decor the day after Halloween and I did do it this weekend but this year I kinda wanted to wait a bit after to just ‘be’ 🎄 But being a blogger & influencer, I need to do things early so you’re inspired when the time is right for you. 🎄 I do love these printables I created, if I do say so myself 😂 I took photos from my last trip to Paris and made them ‘snowy’. I’ve created them in color and B&W. 🎄Perfect for the winter season ➡️ Check stories for the direct link. You can also click the link in my bio. 🎄 Sharing my printables along with 20+ blogger friends 🎄 .

Instagram post 2166956522345413863_277411407 Garages aren’t the prettiest to look at but they do so many jobs. #ad Especially when you take your one car garage and turn it into an epic storage/workshop/ studio space! 💪🏻💪🏻 Our house is small and we needed just a bit more square footage for our tools, paint, shoes, an area to do DIY projects (um..instead of the dining room) and a space to store my light boxes for videos and a place for shooting videos. Not asking for too much, are we 🤔🤣 I’m blown away that we actually achieved all those wants/needs PLUS having lots of room to spare!! 😮 You must check out this tour and how you can get everything you need for a garage makeover from @bedbathandbeyondca. And hey, @addquast we lived to tell about it?! Blowing insulation into each wall cavity almost did us in 😂😂😂➡️ Check stories for the direct link.

Instagram post 2162794567678539066_277411407 I have been wanting to change up my dining room a bit( a new table perhaps and wall moulding) but I still get questions of where I purchased this set. I bought it locally but found similar on Wayfair. They seem identical online! My chairs have grey fabric and I now can’t find the exact fabric online but the same chair only different fabric. ➡️ Shop this post for the links. http://liketk.it/2Gd1d Download the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to shop this pic via screenshot #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome
