The birthday bash of giving back

There are three mini humans I am absolutely obsessed with, I'm pretty sure it's unhealthy. They are my baby cousin's Gavin, Grayer & Gia (also known as G3). Whoever knows them has come to learn that Gavin is a baby genius who will take over the world with his toy cars, Grayer is the biggest love bug you'll ever come across and Gia is a fiesty diva who has you wrapped around her finger in a matter of a second.
No further explanation needed.
Yeah, point blank they are to die for...in my case, to bake for.

It was their birthdays this past week and my superwoman of an aunt, Laura, was going back and forth between a couple of themes. You'll learn with any party G3Q throws, there is a theme and you'll be kicking yourself asking "why didn't I think of that?" She came up with basing the party off of The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein....like I said, why didn't I think of that? As she began to collect decorations and accesories for the party, I began to do my research and came across the perfect dessert.

An apple shaped cakepop, booyah. I found it to be perfect since the party was earlier in the day, breakfast foods were served and no one would dive into the super sweet sweets. Also, I individually wrapped them sooooo people could take ten home and not feel guilty.

Thanks to Bakerella's how to (now you have it too), this process was long but the outcome was something I was extremely happy with. On the inside is Devil's Food chocolate cake, on the outside are just red candy melts and the stem is an end of a pretzel stick.


I took a break to relive my childhood with G3 when these bouncers came in.

Then got back to work and individually wrapped the cakepops accordingly. 


I couldn't help but leak a sneak peek of the party decor but for more you'll have to visit G3Q Designs, you will not be disappointed. These ladies are absolutely spectacular with their vintage finds and party designs!
