Party Inspiration: Modern Wilderness Baby Shower. Let's Eat.

Thursday, 20 July 2017



modern wilderness baby shower | creativebag.com

Welcome to our Modern Wilderness Baby Shower. 

We teamed up with an amazing group of local entrepreneurs and makers to create a styled shoot filled with unique details that are sure to inspire. This is the first of three posts and today is all about our sweet table set up because honestly, who doesn't love a sweet table?!

The party colours were primarily black and white. It's a perfect palette for a gender neutral theme and you can add pops of colour with the food and flowers. As you will see, a few pink elements will be revealed during the party.

 A modern wilderness themed nursery was the inspiration for the party. A few baby gifts were left unwrapped and incorporated into the party decor. The black and white striped play tent will make a wonderful gift. We placed it beside the sweet table so party gifts could be placed inside. Balloons and paper lanterns  are easy to set up, take up a lot of space and are available in colours to match almost any colour palette.

Our adorable two tier cake was inspired by a handmade fox doll and the hand drawn graphics printed on a onesie. We added a striped paper straw to the acrylic love cake topper to add a pop of colour. 

The toy camera is a reminder to grab a real camera for the cake cutting.

The cake cutting reveals an ombre pink filling - a clue for guests that a little girl was on the way.

Our beautiful floral arrangements were created using our exclusive gold foil edge gift boxes. They were topped off with "eat cake" acrylic signs and an adorable felted bird

Last week's contest winner and diy tissue paper cupcake toppers

Wednesday, 17 June 2015


Last week we celebrated the launch of our new website with five days of giveaways. What a week and thanks to everyone who entered our five draws. 

Package. Celebrate. Create. | Creative Bag


The winning entries were selected on Monday and everyone has responded to us with their mailing addresses. So today I'd like to congratulate our five lucky winners ... 

Day 1 (bakery prize package) - Maelyn Kelsey Bondoc
Day 2 (diy prize package) - Jennifer Hongeveen
Day 4 (chocolate prize package) - Corinna vanGerwen

We hope that you enjoy all of the goodies in your prize packages ... they are being mailed out this week.

I've been working on party projects for work and a few friends lately so I'm still in a party mood. Here's a simple little diy idea using tissue paper to dress up your cupcakes.

diy tissue paoer cupcake toppers | Creative Bag

These only require a few supplies and tools - tissue paper, wood skewers, scissor and glue (I used glue dots).

diy tissue paoer cupcake toppers | Creative Bag

1. Fold tissue paper so you can cut a few at a time. I made my strips 2" wide and the length does not really matter because you will cut them to whatever final length you wish. Mine happened to be 4" long. Make small fringes about 1.5" long as shown - with one half an inch of solid tissue along the bottom. I used long wood skewers and cut them to a size to fit my cupcakes. Since I add a lot of icing to my cupcakes - I wanted my cupcake toppers to be a little on the tall side.
2. The top of the wood skewer is attached to the bottom of the tissue paper strip using a glue dot. The skewer should be positioned below the cut fringed area of the tissue paper.
3. Roll the tissue paper along the wood skewer until you get to the end. Add another glue dot at the bottom corner and you are done.
4. The fringe will need to be "fluffed" a little so that it looks like mine.

Make these in any colours you like. Experiment with colour combinations and see what you come up with. If you make these tissue paper cupcake toppers for your party, wedding or special event, I'd love to see them! Leave me a comment below.

Have a great week. 



Special thanks to Bake Sale and your last chance to enter to win one of our five giveaways!

Bake Sale - cupcakes, cakes, cookies, squares and more | 3 Toronto locations

We'd like to send out a special thanks to our friends at Bake Sale for donating 200 mini cupcakes to our Mississauga and Toronto stores on Friday morning to help us to celebrate the launch of our new website. Our Mississauga and Toronto customers (and staff) loved the tasty treats. Freshly made that morning, the cupcakes were as good to eat as they were to look at.

The staff at our Mississauga store set up their sweet table near the front entrance. Customers waited patiently for me to take pictures before snacking on the Bake Sale treats.

Our Toronto store's cupcakes went very quickly but the staff managed to take this picture for me before the cupcakes were all gone!
