Jacky's Toy Story - Storybook Birthday!

Click to see the prep leading up to this Toy Story Party

Janetzy and Julio’s daughter, Jacky, is turning a toy trotting BIG 5.

Janetzy, planned for the sky to be the limit for Jacky's big day; she wanted to ensure that Jacky's birthday day was the BEST EVER! Her goody order was Super Sized, with emphasis on BIG, from the get-go. Aside from pops, cakes and more sweets, she planned for a bounce house with matching decorations and even made some of her own.

This I know, Janetzy is a true artist and uber-creative. Aside from her dandy handiness, she has a little side job making girly shoes with matching hair bows - truly unique! Did I mention that she holds two jobs and is going to school? Whew! Kudos to her !

As a young mother and still a kid at heart, she placed all her energy into the bestest Toy Story Birthday for Jacky! EVER!!!

Now lets talk cake! This is a first! My very first colossal 3 tier cake. May I add, this one was labor intensive and was more likened to a nightmare! I confess, I am not in a big hurry to do this again. Then again, I can't resist a project like this at least once.

Janetzy requested Fondant! WE decided on a butter rum which now rates at the top of the Nancily line of requests. Popular indeed! I submit, this is a double whammy -cake-wise; Mom gets a shot of rum and the children slow down after a slice. It's a Win!

*LOL (laughing out loud). I really don’t put any significant amount of liquor in the mix, but its certainly a viable school of thought.

Below, you can see that I used burlap to showcase the goods. Reason being that these burlap runners are this years design for my tables at the Ocala Thanksgiving. Very cute! An inexpensive idea gone Chic! I plan to add brown satin pintuck table cloths as well at my event. Just an idea if you are planning your Turkey day.
