Brazil vs Italy

This past weekend, there were some very exciting football games happening - Ivory Coast played Brazil, and Italy played New Zealand....the results were not quite what we hope, but we had a good time watching the games anyway! :-)

* Thank you to James for the awesome photos (yet again) of the cupcakes 

Chelsea FC made an appearance for Dyl's birthday....but not in their colours

I feel like the World Cup is a good excuse to stick with the soccer theme....so for Dyl's Birthday I made chocolate cupcakes with little soccer men on top of them.  To be fair, I probably should have made them in the blue and white colours of Chelsea FC...Dyl's favourite club (his religion really), but ribbon availability dictated otherwise, so I had to settle with what I had at the time.

My favourite thing about these cupcakes are the faces of the peg men....each one complete with an original hairstyle...love their vibe!  But even better than the cupcakes, is the sneaky World Cup ticket to the Portugal vs Korea DPR game...on the right of the photo....I'm going to watch with Dyl and Franny next week Monday - CANNOT WAIT!!

Happy Birthday for the 16th my friend :-)

World Cup at the Office

I watched the opening game of the Soccer World Cup at my offices and I made these soccer themed cupcakes for the occasion...just to lend a bit of colour and fun to the snacks. The party had a Mexico vs South Africa theme - complete with springboks and tequila...pretty sick! :)

It was such a rad vibe - the office was all kitted out with SA flags everywhere - we even had a huge SA couch in front of the TV. Everyone was dressed in their jerseys and face paint and wigs...mad support was coming from the Ogilvy crew..love it!

World Cup Opening Ceremony Love

I made these for a dinner that I went to on day of the opening game of the World Cup...GO BAFANA!!!

I'm so excited that the World Cup is finally here - the vibe is amazing and I'm so proud of South Africa for a rocking opening ceremony!

Soccer Fever

With the World Cup starting on Friday....soccer fever is definitely here to stay! I made these cakes for a four year old boy's birthday play ring at school.

Bright colours seemed like they were par for the course...being for small children, but my favourite thing about these cakes were the soccer ball shaped whistles on top. I bet that by the end of the day, the kids were loving their new toys, and the teacher was hating them...you win some you lose some I guess!
