Custom Lingerie Cake

I recently created a Lingerie Cake for a friend's birthday and she apparently fell in love with it.  My only regret is that I did not take photos prior to packaging so the photos I have do not do it justice.  It was a 2 Tier cake on a black charger.  The cake was the most controversial part of all...made of feminine hygiene products (Maxi Pads).  I then draped a round white table cloth over each tier.  I wrapped the bottom layer with 2 La Senza Bras (black & white), the top tier was wrapped with a single panty while the remaining four panties were rolled up into rosebuds around the top tier...all of which were La Senza as that is the birthday girl's favorite lingerie shop.  Cake ingredients included: Coconut scented La Senza Body Kiss Shimmer Fragrance Mist, Berry Lovely La Senza Body Kiss Indulgent Swirl Cream, Glitterazzi Ooh La Lips Lip Gloss, & Coral Crush Ooh La Lips Lip Gloss.  Decorative packaging included silk daisies, silk leaves, faux pink and clear crystals.





A perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary, bridal shower,Valentines day, and even a baby shower for the mom who likes to feel pampered and empowered (after all, the baby tends to be boss for 9 months and another 5 years minimum after that *wink, wink*).

News, News + More News!

With summer trying to make its way back thru all the rain & frost, we can't complain when we see what is happening around the world.  Our hearts and prayers go out to those affected by the earthquakes, floods, fires and tornadoes.  For those of you whom are able, please donate to any of the various charities collecting for the victims of these natural disasters; whether it be money, shelter, food, clothing, blood, etc.  Every bit helps & will go a long way, not to mention hopefully bring good karma into your life...basically pay it forward when you can.  :)

On to some positive news, I had a peak at our new website in the works and it's looking great!  However, due to unforseen circumstances, it will not be up and running until Oct. 1, 2011.  In the mean time I will do my best to regularly update this blog with news, promotions, and photos.  When it's ready to go, I will let you all know.

More exciting news to share with you all is our first ever appearance at the Calgary Mom's Trade Fair on June 11, 2011!  We are so excited to be a part of this amazing event.  It's a wonderful chance to meet new people, make contacts, purchase fabulous products/services, win great prizes...but most of all have fun!  The Fair runs from 9:30am-3:00pm at the Radisson Hotel ~ Trade Centre, 2120 - 16th Avenue N.E.  The greatest part of all is the admission which is 2 canned goods or $2 for Adults and 3 canned goods or $3 for Families (3+).  100% of all funds received and all canned goods will be donated to the Calgary Food Bank.  And as an added bonus, free parking, so you can't go wrong.  Creations By Z.A.R.A. will have a few items for sale, a giveaway and will be contributing to the door prizes for people who register in advance for the fair at Calgary Mom's Trade Fair.  Please make sure you check out their website...tons of information at your fingertips for any mom.  :)


I attended the last fair with my children and I have to say it was so much fun.  My children loved it.  The face painting and balloon animal table was the highlight of their day.  For me, it was connecting with other mom's who had been where I was...having a dream...a passion for something and wanting to pursue it from the comforts of my own home, while I was caring for my little ones.  So if you can swing by...even if it's for a quick peak, I'd love to meet you and have a quick chat and discuss any questions you may have. 

Last bit of news is that our price lists are finally up...at the bottom of our blog just above our contact info.  Please keep in mind when reviewing them, that they are merely guides.  Our products are not mass produced...everything is custom made as per the client's theme, preferences and budget.  So if you see anything you don't like or need in the package you want, things can be swapped around and as such the cost of the packages will vary.  In any case, feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone and we can discuss details and pricing.

Until next post, stay safe, have fun and remember to always let the people you care about know just how much you love them...who knows what tomorrow will bring.  :)
