I have a slight cabochon addiction. There. I said it. It's just that cabs are so simple to create with. A little jewelry glue is all you need.
I was playing around with some of the cabs I have in my jewelry stash, and created this sugary sweet combination.
Inspired by the most delicious bakery pastels: buttercream and piped icing, cakes and puddings.
I think these would make such fun birthday party favors. I'll file that thought away for when Sofia is a little bigger. Though her first birthday will have no shortage of frosting or roses....!
Is this making anyone else hungry? Or is it just me? I've been trying to be good. Salads and veggies, fish and chicken galore. So, a spatula of buttercream sounds quite nice right about now.
All of the cabochons were found on etsy, and the ready-to-embellish silver bracelet is from Hobby Lobby.
Sure to delight girls ages 3 to 103!
Hi Andrea ~ They are too cute ~ And it's making me hungry for something sooo sugary sweet. I have a MAJOR sweet tooth that's not going to pair so well with my swimsuit!!!
I see your planning the all of girly birthday parties already, good for you ~ what fun ~ go Super Mom!!!

I am so glad you said you were getting hungry because I wouldn't want to be the only person whose sweet tooth was that susceptible to suggestion! I had some hand lotion scented like buttercream and I had to stop using the darn stuff because I walked around craving cake all the time.
