That's Hot!!!

First, Thanks Yolie for letting me be one of your guest. I love it. This is sooo HOT!!!



I had so much fun getting ready for this hop.  Ordinarily we spend our summers in Spain, this year we did not go. My oldest son's birthday is at the end July so he has never had a party at home with his friends until this year. I decided to give him a HOT birthday party.

Here are my projects for this HOT summer hop:



Welcome ALOHA banner

To create this banner I used K&Company paper from their Citronella collection.  The font is Hawaiian Punk (downloaded free)  and I cut it via SCAL2. The Palm tree, flip flops and hibiscus are from Lettering Delights, Mahalo collection. The ribbons came from JoAnn's, Michaels and Hobby Lobby.

More details:

 



Here is the HOT cake!



The cake decorations are made out of gum paste and fondant. The palm trees have pretzel trunks and the leaves are cut with the Cricut Cake (don't remember the name of the file).  The surf board is from Lettering Delight collection "Mahalo" and cut with the Cricut Cake.  The beach hut is actually a frosting container with mini pretzels glued to it with colored buttercream. The rest of deco is made out of gum paste.

Here are some close ups of the details:


Lily colored with yellow and orange edible dust.



Smashed oreos create the dirt and Graham crackers create the sand.  :)

Mr. Tiki is made out of marshmallow fondant. He was sooooo sweet!!

The party was HOT and Philip had a great time. Finally a birthday in the USA!!!

My last HOT project is a Thank You card. We wanted to thank all of our friends that came to the party and also I wanted to thank all my blogger friends. 

MAHALO!
