CIRCUS CRAFTINESS
Cath Kidston Circus Wallpaper was laid on the white tablecloth for table runners. Bright thick satin ribbon
bows were tied around each covered chair. Oversized giant balloons in reds, blues and greens were dotted
around the venue. For centrepieces, Polystyrene hats were painted black, and decorated with red and white
striped ribbon and then real gerbera daisies were pushed into each top hat. Each place setting sported Paper

FOOD STALLS
The advantage of such a theme is the food is easy
to do yourself; think hot dogs, French fries, mini
cheese burgers and popcorn. For drinks serve
lemonade, soft drinks and beer.

CANDY FLOSS
Rent a Cotton candy Machine or buy-ready made
candyfloss and place into colourful paper cones.

BIG TOP CAKE


The colorful cupcakes were made by Annica’s
Deli and were displayed on a ready-made Circus
Cupcake Display Kit bought overseas. Create
something similar with Paper&Cake food picks, or a
colourful cake with miniature bunting can look just
as impressive.

Name: Zahirah Motala (Zalita)
Location: Westville
www.cupcakedlights.blogspot.com

I am a young mom, artist, cake decorator and a photographer.


My favourite possession is my canon SLR rebel xti that my hubby bought as a gift!
The greatest lesson I have learnt is that whatever situation you are in good or bad it will pass and after every
hardship comes ease.
When I was small I wanted to be an artist from the age of 4. It’s all I dreamt of and all I did was paint and
draw and create stuff with my hands.
If I could build a house anywhere it would be on a small lavender farm in Provence.
My biggest regret is that I don’t have time to paint with my oils anymore. I miss working in my studio and
with my fellow art friends.
My simplest pleasure is to spend hours in Exclusive Books and coming home with a packet full of exciting
reads.
I’m good at creating things with fine details, the smaller and more nitty gritty the better I am at it.
My favorite magazine is House and Leisure and Ideas
My favorite colours are all shades of sea blue green/aqua/turquoise .

ABOUT CUPCAKE D’LIGHTS
I am an artist/mom who in 2006 was bored and looking for something creative besides oil paintings (with
harmful fumes) when my baby was small and found the amazing world of cupcakes online. I started creating
pretty cupcakes much to my family and friends amusement until everyone realised how seriously obsessed I
was.

I was asked to make pretty cupcakes for a few friends children’s birthdays and from there one thing led to
another and so I started a small home based couture cupcake business. I have never been to learn the art
of cake decor/design everything has been just trial and error, my cupcakes are highly decorated and I slowly
developed a unique style

ABOUT THE DESSERT BUFFET


A really sweet lady asked me to create her daughter’s first birthday cake and so I convinced her to allow me
to create a whole princess candy table. I started out at the party shop finding pretty items in pink. I filled the
glass jars with pink beads, baubles, feathers and stuck little pink fluffy balls on them, I found gorgeous little
pink diamante stones which added a little bling to the table

I covered little bar-one bite size chocolates with pink foil and pretty paper and printed Zoe’s name onto
sticker paper. Filled packets with pink and white cachous and sealed with a gingham printed paper and a little
crown sticker. The lollipops were covered in pink foil and pink tissue paper and I tied a pretty ribbon and stuck
a pretty stone on each one.

The cake, cookies and cupcakes were kept to the princess theme: castles and crowns. The Zoe bunting was
my favourite it added a cute personalised touch to the table and I also added cute princess stickers to the
letters which will remind Zoe and her mom of her first birthday.

Suzi tells us the story behind her daughter’s 5th
birthday. “We celebrated with a pretty pink and
red lala bird theme, based around our lala bird
invitations. The lala bird invitations were named
after Alannah, I call her Lala for short, so it was
only fitting that she should celebrate with the
lala bird party theme.”

ROSY RED AND BLUSH PINK
I had such fun with this party, I never grow
tired of red and pink together, it’s such an
unexpected but pretty combination, and I
found that there are endless options of bird
things that you can pick up from all over the
place to help set the scene.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Tissue paper pom poms were homemade,
birds and hearts were hung from the ceiling
and the happy birthday banner was bought
from Paperklip. The hydrangeas were
ordered specially for me and the stunning
pink and red roses are also from Camberwell
Florist (I can’t remember the name of the
variety, but I’ll certainly be asking for them
again). Each guest was greeted with a lala
bird party hat made by me with an extra
special one just for the birthday girl.

www.ingoodcompany.co.za | 45
BIRD SEED
I kept the dessert table food to a theme
of red, pink, chocolate, birds and hearts.
Food included cupcakes, gingerbread
birds, sweets, candy kebabs, chocolate
crackles, and heart shaped fairy bread.
Jodi from Designer Cakes created this
beautiful Lala bird cake for me.

46 | www.ingoodcompany.co.za
EGG HUNT
As we had quite a few children at the party I also set up an area outside, this is where we served the hot food for lunch and played
the party games. The table centre piece was simply a handful of fallen branches that I collected, spray painted and placed in a
vase, we then hung some lovely wooden birds from it that I found in Bed, Bath N Table, together with some crepe paper roses
that I made.
All children love party games, and whilst we played some traditional favourites like pass the parcel, musical chairs
and pinata, I wanted to also incorporate something on theme. I got the idea for these nifty little cups from the Eat Drink Chic blog,
and thought they’d be great to use as ‘nests’ for the children to do an egg hunt. The child that found the most eggs got to choose
a prize from the birdcage. (And of course they all got to keep their eggs). The cups are super easy to make, simply buy plain paper
cups, punch a hole either side at the top, insert ribbon and you’ve got a pretty little favour basket or candy cup.

THIRSTY BIRDS
I love these pop top bottles as they have no artificial colours and flavours and they’re perfect for parties - it saves you time
pouring drinks and eliminates spillages on the party table. I made the little labels to co-ordinate in with the rest of the stationery.

www.ingoodcompany.co.za | 47
SWEET TWEETS
All little birds love a tweet (or treat)
at the end of a party, I used our little
lala bird party bag tags, and found
these gorgeous little pink pegs on
etsy. Together with an assortment of
lollies for the guests, each party bag
also had a necklace gift ‘for pretty
birds’ inside. The girls and I made
these together, they’re simple and
cost effective to make - just take a
length of ribbon and thread some
wooden beads onto it, tying a knot
in between each bead - I then just
slipped them into a cellophane bag.

My little lala bird loved her bird party,


we’re already in discussions for the
next one, and her little sister bells has
put in a request for a new design for
her party in July… stay tuned…

If Rosanna Bowles ran the world, everyone would gather around each evening
and enjoy a delicious meal passed around the table on exquisite dishes while
laughing, talking and sipping glasses of wine. She believes dining together is a
giving, loving—and truly fun—experience. In her opinion, entertaining can be
effortless and elegant, and any occasion is cause for a celebration. Whether it’s a
birthday party for the five-year-old, a glamourous soirée with the girls, or simply
a romantic evening at home, stylish dishes turn any-and every day-into a special

GOOD LIFE

PARTY
TIME
For Natalie’s 30th Birthday, she had
a bubble inspired bash of note.

THINGS WE LOVE
The bubble theme was carried throughout from the brightly coloured spotty
custom invitations to the favour bags filled with miniature bottles of Graham Beck
Champagne and Charlotte Rhys Bubble Bath.

Guests made an entrance by having a party shot with the birthday girl by We Love
Pictures (welovepictures.co.za) in front of a black and white striped backdrop and
giant round balloons!

The party was held at The Venue in Melrose Arch and the superb venue only
required a few additional decorations to personalise the space: jewel toned paper
lanterns and glass fish bowl shaped vases filled with wrapped around tulips or
bunches of gerbera daisies, plus round pearl ball candles and disco balls for a bit of
bling.

The food was all cocktail style served by waiters and a dessert table under a canopy
of paper daisies included black bowls and stands of colour coordinated lollipops,
cupcakes and even liquorice allsorts iced biscuits. And of course the birthday cake!

The bar was set up right next to the dance floor and included a fantastic signature
drink whereby a ball dropped in opened up to reveal an edible flower!
The highlight of the evening was the live band that kept everyone mixing it up on
the dance floor till the early hours of the morning.

CHOCOLATE CRAFTS
Melt chocolate and pour into an ice tray. When almost, set place a wooden spoon or fork in the chocolate
(standing upright). Remove, wrap the wooden handle in ribbon and serve guests a mug of hot milk with
the spoon and attached chocolate block to melt into their milk. Marble the chocolate or even layer with

get rid of excess chocolate. Place on a nonstick mat to set. Melt white chocolate and place in a small jiffy
bag. Cut a small hole and drizzle lines along the top end of the chocolate. Set and serve with a strawberry
and mascarpone or a Woolies mousse. Add coconut oil to white chocolate if it not melting to a thin
consistency.

Make chocolate ice cubes, donuts or heart shapes with Woolies donut silicone ice tray. Use the cross
shaped ones, combine with rings and make edible noughts and crosses.

MEET THE READER
Name: Rela
Age:26
Occupation: Plant Administrator
Location: Johannesburg

I am addicted to chocolate.

I most admire my sister Lilka for her unwavering


determination, despite her disabilities.

I feel most beautiful when my partner looks over at


me and smiles his special smile.

When I was little I wanted to be a lawyer - I love a


good argument!
SNEAK PEEK AT RELA’S WEDDING
The quality I least like about myself is I am a drama
queen at times.

The quality I like least in others is laziness. “If I could take a vacation
Something that no one knows about me is that I am anywhere in the world where
painfully shy. would it be? Laos.”
The best decision I’ve ever made was to throw
caution to the wind and go on a date with the man
who is now my fiancé.

What surprises you most about adult life? That I am


ALREADY an adult!

What’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you?


Thank you for always being there.

What’s your idea of a perfect meal? Fresh,


homemade pasta, herbs and veg. from my garden,
good music playing in the background, a glass of
wine, and the time to catch up on the day with my
fiancé.

If I knew then what I know now I’d savour every


moment more carefully and take more pictures.

What I would do with a R1 000 in spare cash? Give it


to one of my employees who scrapes every cent of
his money together each month to help pay for the
exorbitant medicine costs for his disabled son.
