We're Closed


We're super excited to be expecting the second addition to our family anytime now!
TCP on the B is closed and will reopen in November this year. 
For hire enquiries during this time, pop us an email. 




A few weeks ago, my best friend and sister threw me a sweet little baby shower. They both did admit that it was most stressful planning an event for an event planner, but admitted they did have the advantage of raiding my garage for supplies. They kept all the details a surprise as I anxiously awaited to see what they came up with. I love that they planned every aspect with me in mind, from the not-baby-pink colour scheme, to the choice of florals and the games guests played too. They made me feel so special. Below are some pics from the beautiful day. 




















Thank you Nazmeera & Nabeela. Love you both more than you know!

Glitz and Old Hollywood Glam

Finally posting this Soiree from January that was themed around old Hollywood glam, particularly Marilyn Monroe. Lots of glitz and old school glam for this Shower at the Penthouse of the Suncoast Casino Hotel. Rich blacks and reds with a round feature table this time. Have a looksy!








Nabeela's Bakeshop did ruffle cake pops to mimic one of the most famous Marilyn Monroe scenes of all time, the 1954 shot of her laughing as her skirt is blown up by the blast from a subway vent. 





This two meter high Marilyn Monroe backdrop, together with some themed props served as the perfect area for photo ops.

Meet Mr Skinnylegs

So my little man turned 3 this week! I remember the day he was born like it was just yesterday, and now he's a little human, big enough to help his Mama up the stairs with her big preggie belly. Speaking of preggie belly, I'm 38 weeks along now and we are expecting the new arrival anytime, so we decided on just a little party for Yusuf at school. 

I decided to let him choose his own theme this year. I posed the question and waited anxiously for an answer... "A spider party Mama!". Luckily, something I could work with and he wasn't asking for a Spider Man theme. I used the cutest spider image I could find and we named him Mr Skinnylegs, after the spider from an episode of Yusuf's fav series, Peppa Pig

Being a little party at school, we settled on just party hats, party boxes and a gorgeous cake. 









With the school being strict on party packs, we played it safe by not including any edible items into the boxes. Bubbles, a colouring-in page and crayon, and a "Create your own Mr Skinnylegs" kit. 



Custom wrapped bubbles with a little spider on each.

We also custom wrapped the crayons, love the way they turned out. 


The 'Create your own Mr Skinnylegs" kit included Play-Doh, 8 spider legs and two googly eyes. 

Meet Yusuf, and the edible version of Mr Skinnylegs by Nabeela's Bakeshop (of course!). Check out his cutest little party hat that matched the ones the kiddies wore. Yes, I did make one for Yusuf too, but I knew he waited patiently for his turn to wear the special Birthday Crown his teacher makes them.

Look at that face!



Made Yusuf a tee for his Monster Bash last year which he was so excited to wear all through the year as a reminder of his birthday party. So I had to do him a Mr Skinnylegs version this time, complete with googly eyes and a pom pom. 





Happy Birthday Yusuf!
We love you too much!
