Cake of the Week - Army Tank Cake


Good Morning!

This week's Cake of the Week comes to us from Christie Hall and is a fantastic 'Tank' cake that she made for her nephew.

Not only does it looked super cool but there was even a sparkler stuck in the gun so when lit it looked like the gun was firing.  Very creative cake Christie, thank you for sharing your creation with us ♥


Have you made a fantastic children's birthday cake lately & want to show it off ?  Then send it through to us at info@pieceofcakeparties.com.au, we would love to hear from you! (The only condition, is that we need good quality photographs.)

Mermaid Party Pretties ♥


Mermaid is one of our most sought after Girl's party themes and we have a super cute Mermaid range along with many coordinating decorations and accessories in store.

I find that people can often be a little hesitant with themed or character parties as they dont want an overly commercialized look.  I love themed parties and love themed products, though I like to use plain stylish party-ware for the majority of the setting and then compliment with some themed items. This creates a stylish, neat look whilst also still portraying your fun theme.

Our gorgeous Mermaid party-ware is in a range of bright colours so plenty of coordinating colour options for decorations and accessories.

Let's take a look at the themed items ...

Mermaid party-ware available in Dinner Plates, Dessert Plates, Cups, Invitations, Centerpiece, Hanging Decorations, Cupcake Stand, Napkins, Treat Boxes plus more items in store. Find them here. 


If sticking to a traditional blue/green colour scheme for your Mermaid party, our themed range coordinates perfectly with our Paper Eskimo designer range in Apple Green, Powder Blue and Sherbert Blue. Items include plates, cups, napkins, cupcake toppers, baking cups, party bags, styling tags & more.  Find our Paper Eskimo range here.

* My Style ~ For my parties I love to use designer plates in a coordinating colour and then I like to sit a themed dessert plate on top to bring in my theme.  The little themed plate can then be used for cake & desserts after your party food.  I also like to use designer cups with a cute paper straw.


We have a great range of decorations that would be perfect for your Mermaid party such as tassel garland kits, tissue pom poms, balloons, hanging fans & more.



This is just a small sample of what we have in store that can help you create a gorgeous Under the Sea/  Mermaid setting.  To see our selection of 'Mermaid' style party goodies click here, though please take a browse through the various sections on our website as you might like to come up with your own gorgeous combination of products to suit your style!



If I can help with your selection please do not hesitate to contact me at info@pieceofcakeparties.com.au as I would love to help with your party ♥

Turtleman saw our Party! How cool is that ...

Hi There!

Well back in July we had my son Declan's 4th Birthday party and we did a Turtleman & Gator Boys theme.  Based on two shows that Declan loves.



Well imagine my excitement and amazement the day after I posted Declan's party pictures on the Piece of Cake Parties & Celebrations Facebook page, I wake up to this comment ...


OMG - THE Call of the Wildman - Turtleman page has seen our party & took the time to comment.  How cool is that!

Then I go to check my PM's & they have sent me a message as well! Rodney the Social Media Manager for Turtleman had messaged saying that they would love to send something for Declan from Ernie (Turtleman) and the Guys. 

A few weeks later Declan received a personalised, signed Turtleman Photo in the mail.



One very excited little boy and family and we can not thank Rodney, Turtleman & the Crew enough for this really generous and lovely gesture.  We will always remember this and thank you so much for your kindness :)

So hows that hey, who would have thought that they would ever come across our little backyard party, let alone contact us about it.  Loving the Internet for making such connections possible and the kindness of this great team! 

This is being framed and is going straight to the pool room!
