Murder Mystery Idea Board

Murder in Sin City by worklaughlove

Steve and I are very excited to be hosting a Murder Mystery Dinner this weekend! We got the story line from this site and its called "Murder in Sin City". I read it over (yes, I cheated) and it seems really cool. A little bit of romance, suspense, and of course murder. Sounds like a good combination to me! So here are my ideas of how to pull it all off.

Food: a buffet of random foods- kind of like the buffets at Las Vegas

Decorations: Vegas themed decorations, maybe try to make the house look like a casino

Venue: our house

Budget: $70

People: 11 including us

Attire: costumes!

Entertainment: the murder mystery game, and also casino games

Baby shower Cake

Tonight I made the cake for the Book themed baby shower this weekend! A little early perhaps, but that marshmallow fondant is resilient- that cake could last forever if covered with that stuff! I wish I had time to actually make my own from-scratch cake and icing, but I got home from class at 8 tonight and just didn’t feel like it. Terrible, I know. I just made a sheet cake out of a box and then cut three of the same sized squares out.

I then plastered them together with the (again, store-bought) icing.

I will eventually post my recipe for marshmallow fondant (super easy), but I rolled it out and completely covered the cake with it.

I then used food dye to make yellow and blue ribbons.

To be honest, I’m not proud of this cake. If I had the time- I would have made a really cute book themed cake, or even just made a better one of these. But oh well, here it is. Its pretty cute and did the trick.
