Shirley's 50th

Love the cake idea! Where did you get the large "50". I have been looking all over and and ready to try and create it myself. Julie

Where did you get the large 50? Love this design and haven't been able to find the 50. please email: [email protected] Thank you!

Hi Julie, Aren't they great!! I actually made it. I bought the numbers unfinished at the Hobby Lobby. I drilled holes in the bottom, inserted a small dowel in each #, then painted and glittered them. Make sure you really dust off the excess glitter prior to placing the numbers on the cake. Hope this helps!

Can you tell me about the white "50" hanging on the wall? Where did you get them or what did you use to make them. Love this theme and am planning on using it for a party here. Thanks so much!

Hi Lori, I just cut the oversized '50' out of foam core. Super simple and inexpensive. I did the same thing for my husbands 50th, but I covered it in b&w xerox's of special photo's throughout his life. There's a photo of that version in that party listing. There are super simple and make a huge impact. Thanks.

What are these favors made of? Chocolate Bars wrapped in paper?

Barbara M, Yes, they're Hershey's chocolate nugget bars, wrapped in coordinating scrapbook paper. On the bottom I also made a little tray for them to sit in that you may not be able to see. Super Easy!

What are in the party favor bags?

See the last comment. Thanks!

Can you t 'll me where I can purchase this cake topper?

Hi Anna, I made it, using precut #'s. Thanks!!

How was this 50 made??

Hi Amy, It's just oversized foam core that I cut out. Thx.

How did you make the tags for the favor's?

Hi Allison, I just printed them on the computer and used a paper punch to cut them out.

Stacy, I bought the numbers today for the 50. I also bought Arcylic craft paint and some Elmers glitter glue. I'm not sure if the glitter glue is what I should be using. I painted the numbers and am letting them dry but would really like to know about the glitter. I was worried if I used regular glitter that when I put the numbers on the cake that glitter would get all over the top of it. I also went to Hobby Lobby to find the ribbon but they didn't have any in that design. What width did you use? I have someone making the cake and she thought the size of the cake looked like 10". All the detail I can get would be so appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Allison. I didn't use glitter glue. I used craft paint in lime green with a lime green or apple green glitter. I believe it was Martha Stewart brand. Ribbon I bought at Michaels, about 1-1/2 wide. NOW, listen, my cake was finished in super smooth buttercream. So when I pushed in the numbers, yes, a tiny bit of the glitter did come off onto the cake. But I just used a small paint brush and brushed it off. And I made sure when we took the numbers off, I blew off any add'l that fell off. Yes, I believe e the cake was 2 layer 10" cake. Good Luck!!

Where can I purchase this cake topper?

Hi Armie... I made the topper. Couple ways we can solve this problem. 1. You can buy the numbers and paint them yourself -or-- 2. I can make them for you. =)

I love this! Did you enlarge a stencil for the numbers? If yes, do know the font you used? It looks great!

Hi Serena. I love this too! But not sure what your comment is referring to. Clarify and maybe I can give you more info. Thanks!!

I too would love to know where you can purchase this cake topper please. I'm looking for one in this color, but for it to say 30. Thank you

I just read that you made it yourself. its wonderful and I love the colors thank you! great cute ideas

Hi Emma, Thanks so much!

Awesome! What is the candy on that's green?

Hi Lucretia! The candies are Hershey's Nuggets, wrapped in coordinating scrapbook paper.

Can you please let me know where I can get this topper?? Would love it in this color!!

Hi Kimberly, I made it! =) If you're interested, I can make it for you.

Is there a template for this tag?

Hi Melva. No, there isn't a template. I just used a paper punch.

How did you make the 50? Or can I buy it somewhere online?

Hi Lucy! I made the oversized 50 out of foam core. The numbers are about 3 ft tall (approx). Where do you live? If your local to So. Cal, I can make them for you.

Where did you get the candy wrappers? I can only find wrappers with writing on them. thanks

Hi Adrianne, I cut and wrapped each piece with cute scrapbook paper that matched my theme. So much better! Hope that helps.

Where did you find the 50 or did you make it?

Love the cake topper, where did yo find this? My sister in law wants her 50th in pink, however?

If you can let me know where to get the large 50 cake topper, I would be thrilled, however I need it in pink. My email is [email protected]

Hi Susan. I made both the lg 50 and the cake topper. I can make the cake topper in Pink for you. I'll email you now.

what did you use to put candy in?

Hi Mary A, if you're asking about the party favors, I made a small paper trey that fit the candy perfectly and then I used a cello bag. If that's not what your asking about, please let me know, Thanks!

Hello I love you drink canisters and I've been look for some that are unique for my husband 50th. Could you tell me where you purchased your? Thanks in advance

Hello Lafrances, Thank you. I purchased them quite some time ago from QVC. They are from The Colin Cowie line. I do love them as they are quite different from anything out there.

Where can I get some of the 50. My husband is turning 50 very soon

These oversized #'s are hand cut out of foam core. If you're interested, I can cut them for you. Please contact me thru my email @ [email protected].

Where can I get the 50 from or did you make it and does it comes in the color red?

Hi Patricia, I did make the '50". I don't see why it couldn't be red. Please contact me via [email protected] for more info. Thanks!

Did you use a stencil for the 50 on the wall?

Hi Tina, No I did not use a stencil for the oversized 50. It is just shy of 40" tall, cut from FoamCore. Please contact me via [email protected] for more info. Thanks!
