Comstock Cake Trifle 

 I love having small and cozy get together. I have these wonderful tiny wine glasses and couldn't wait to use them. Honestly who doesn't like having or seeing mini desserts? They always look so darn cute! Well since my cake didn't turn out the way I had planned in my brain I figured well what else can we do? 

I decided to look on Duncan Hines. They

 build a simple fruit trifle in a fancy glass. Well needless to say everyone was impressed. 

You will need the following.

 Ingredients

• 1 box Duncan Hines French Vanilla cake mix
• 1 can Comstock or Wilderness Cherry Fruit Filling
• 1 container Cream Cheese frosting

Baking Instructions

1. Bake the cake as directed on the box. Let it cool and crumble it into bite-sized chunks.
2. Fill a glass with some cake, a few spoons of frosting and fruit filling.
3. Serve and enjoy! 

Have a delightful day.

Malu Boutiques Make Over

Wow it has been way........ to long. Life decided to take a few curve balls. Lots has changed in the last 2 and 1/2 years that we have been silent. Life is much different for me and in all of the craziness of something we call life I had another baby girl. Now momma of 3.

Now that we have been silent for so long we decided to redo our logo and have a relaunch of our company. Our Logo was redone by Silvia Wren Designs. Extremely happy with our NEW look. (EEK!) 

With re-branding our-self we decided to redo the website, our Etsy store, blog, and so forth. Here is what (WE) will look like little by little. Super excited!

 

Hopefully now we can start little by little doing our tutorials, inspirational Wednesdays, and catching up on blog post that we should of shared with you all a while ago. Oh and I can't wait to share with you all where we have been featured!

Stay tune for our follow up blog post. It will be a tutorial on learning how to do these 

Little Cupcake Platters.

 

Till then you can follow us on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram.

Me and My Dolls Line

Welcome ....... to our Me and My Doll Line!

My daughter loves the whole idea of being a princess. One day she had asked me to make her crowns for her and her dolls.

I thought what a cute idea right?

I made them and thought to myself why not start making them for other little girls and their dolls.  

This is just the beginning. I made these very plain. My daughter's favorite color is pink so we did pink.  They are sold plain with your choice of colors and are tied with ribbon in the back.  

If you would like for us to embellish them just tell us what you are looking for and we will give you a quote.

Take a look at my model. Her and her dolls

Even Ariel has a crown.

Go and check it out on Etsy.

Let me know what you think.

MINNIE MOUSE PHOTO SHOOT

Our Little Model my daughter

First and foremost I would like to say Thank You to all the wonderful ladies and the one man that contributed their talents, items, and time to this photo shoot.

The very talented Bird’s Party for her drink tags and water bottle labels, Shannon from Twirlie Whirlies for her beautiful pinwheels, Bedazzle My Bon Bons for their outrageous glitter chocolates, Claudia from Tiny Posh for her wonderful tutu set and headband, Chelsea from Ribbon Revelry for the great ribbon used in our Minnie toppers, Joanne from Oh Goodie Designs for the perfect straws and last but never least Cindy from Fancy Bowtique for her fabulous bows.  All foods as well as our Minnie Jelly Bean Jars made by Malu Boutiques.

But, if not to bore you I must thank my mom-partner for always being a part of my ideas when she’s not thinking of one herself, my grandmother for keeping the kids busy when all this craziness is going, and to the one man (it’s usually two but my dad was busy that day but he’s got his to do list for the next one),

My HUSBAND- CARPENTER-BAKER- ETC. for all the things he does and trust me, it’s a lot.

I hope you enjoy our new Minnie’s Bowtique line, which will be up for purchase by the end of this week coming at our ETSY store.

But really with a face like that, she can charmed the pants off of anyone even me. The banner pictures will be up with the rest of the items at our etsy store.

Please enjoy the pictures.

French Poodle Madison's (6th Birthday)

Finally I'm able to post about Madi's Birthday. Yay!!! This picture was the night before where mommy, Tia Michi, daddy, abuela and I were getting the party ready. I had to post this picture. Isn't it adorable? Madi is like a 2nd daughter to me. I was super excited when I found out 6 years ago that I was going to be a Tia. I love my Madi.

The party had many different designers. The invitation was made by one of our friends Michelle. Isn't it a cute invitation? Michelle also has an Etsy store with pretty printables called Mod Pod Designs. Check her out.

Each girl as they walked in received a flower for their hair. Everyone had a different type and color of flower . We came up with this idea from my Parisian party. We thought how pretty would it be if everyone would wear a flower like I did in my Parisian party. If you haven't seen the party or the flower headband here is the link to see it. "Night In Paris". All the girls looked adorable.

There were alot of details as you walked in, the poodle illustration on the door sign was designed by one of my favorite party girls. Michele from Crazy for Design. This is my favorite poodle design. We wraped the sign in marabou and glued the poodle design on to a scrapbook paper. The ribbon read Ooh La La and the sign said "Welcome to Madison's Party" in French.

Mommy and I liked the idea of the lights but since it was a day time party the lights would be hard to see, so we came up with flowers instead of lights. Between the flowers above and the balloons on the side of the fence. It felt so Ooh la la as you were walking.

The back of each chair had a hanging cone. Each cone had a pink ribbon, a poodle design topped off with a piece of marabou inside they were filled with popcorn.

The cones were so hard to keep still because the day was sooo windy down here, but it looked beautiful.

I LOVED how it  all came out.

We had all the tables and decorations underneath a tent. All around there was tulle and a few lights. The topiaries were the centerpieces of the food and dessert tables. Both were made with marabou, ribbon, clay pots, and puff balls. The chandelier that you see is actually a crown hung upside down. We found this at Home Goods another favorite store of ours. I love how it came out. Do you see the small cart on the left side of your screen? It's holding the utensils. When it comes to the time for plates and utensils it's hard to display at times. So Ceci came up with idea of making a small cart for them.

Her banner had glitter letters and of course marabou. Can you tell I love it. You see it every where. Do you see the pinata on the right of the screen. Ceci designed it. It's just fabulous. I love how all of her pinatas can be used for decoration till they are put to use. We had a few sweets for the guests to have. Marshmallow pops, guava pastries, chocolate lollipops, starburst, chocolate kisses, and ambrosia salad. The salad was made by Madi's  grandmother. 

Candy Jar Labels Designed by Malu Boutiques.

This is the ambrosia salad. It was delish. All of these beautiful food tent labels were designed by once again Michele Crazy for Design. Have you seen her store yet? 

 

This lady needs no introduction. Genevieve from Celebration today The superchick way is another party fave. Have you seen all of her fabulous designs? Her ideas are just wonderful. I love how she added the little pom poms to the kones.

Each goodie bag had a poodle necklace, a small note pad, a trinket, and  luggage tag.

Aren't these girls just adorable?

 All cakes were designed by Ceci. She made 5 small different cakes. They all had different flavors and just looked beautiful.

 All the girls were busy designing their own bracelets. Ceci's aunt had a ton of different beads, jewels, and rhinestones for the girls to use. The girls had such a wonderful time. It kept them busy for at least 2 hours. Between designing and making. It was a lot of fun.

 Madi's bracelet finished. My little doll face.

All the girls saying cheese.

This is Jojo Madi's dog wearing a tutu. Adorable right?

Hope you all have a wonderful day Monday.

Maylene
