In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the swirl.
Pour half the cake batter into the prepared pan. Drizzle half the cinnamon swirl over batter and use a knife to swirl. Repeat with remaining batter and swirl.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Pour gently over cinnamon batter.

Need a last minute gift for Valentine’s Day?! ❤️💗 Are you ready to POP the question? (Pun intended).

I’m taking orders for all occasion bubble balloons (Valentine’s Day, high school and college graduation, engagement, birthdays, Easter, promposal, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, party centerpieces, etc.)

Each bubble balloon can be designed with your theme or ideas in mind, or I can take gifts that you have already purchased and present them in a fun way by putting them inside of a bubble balloon. Don’t worry, if you need a last minute gift, I can generally accommodate depending on the request and availability.

Bubble balloons can be stuffed with bears or other gifts that can be suspended to look like they are floating or spinning inside of the balloon. I love to make balloons with gifts inside the balloon as well as hidden underneath inside a container that is used as a balloon base. I can fill balloons with stuffed animals, money, hand sanitizer keychains, lip balm, lottery scratch off tickets, colorful balloons, confetti, streamers, silk flowers, toy cars, Barbie Dolls, ultrasound pictures, pregnancy or engagement announcements, engagement rings, and more!

I will discount bulk orders, if anyone wants to order balloons for party centerpieces. I can design bubble balloon gifts and centerpieces with any theme, color scheme, school colors, favorite colors, special messages, school name and/or mascot, graduation year, name, etc. Each bubble balloon can be topped with ribbons, intertwined balloons, and designed with stickers or labels.

Last year, I became Mount Holly’s local Easter Bunny! I can create an Easter basket with any theme, favorite cartoon characters, color scheme, and age range. Baskets are also great gifts for weddings, baby showers, bridesmaid gifts, and more! Preorder today!

I am also taking orders for Easter egg hunts and can be hired to stuff eggs as well as hide them at your home or business.

I can also make custom wine and champagne bottles, which adds a lot of flair to a gift for a bachelor or bachelorette party, engagement, retirement, milestone birthday, college graduation, or for the moment when a couple makes their first toast at their wedding. A glitter bottle is definitely a unique gift for Valentine’s Day too!

Businesses have also ordered my custom creations to use for drawings or raffles.

I also love to make handmade centerpieces, wreaths, and ribbon chandeliers.

I also plan and host everything from large scale events like weddings, high school reunions, nonprofit events or small and intimate gatherings like a tea party. Whatever you need to pull off an extraordinary party, special occasion, surprise, or event, I can help make your day special and unique.

I can accommodate all price points, so if you see what you like, I can work it out to meet your budget needs. Delivery is available, however, I am not able to ship bubble balloons, as they may pop during shipping. If you want to mail a gift, I can offer an option to have a goody box with air or helium filled balloons inside. Baskets can be delivered or shipped, as well.

Thank you to everyone who has voted for me for the competition! I’m currently in 2nd place in my voting group! Please keep voting every day, as I’m looking forward to advancing to the next round of the competition! You can vote for free once daily, or you have the option to make a donation to The National Breast Cancer Foundation, which comes along with votes, as well. I’m hopeful that participating in this competition will raise money for breast cancer research. As some of you are aware, this is near and dear to my heart, from losing my best friend, Kim D. Hawkes Kim Smith to breast cancer, friends who have died too young from breast cancer, friends who are survivors, and those who are currently battling this awful disease, to remembering the day that I learned that my beloved mother-in-law found a lump and told me on Jason’s graduation day from UNCC. Fast forward to becoming Maycee’s adoptive mother, and for a solid year, she thought I was dying, and realizing that she could feel that it was her birth mother who had breast cancer. Then a few weeks after Mommy D’s death, Maycee and I were on our way down our stairs to go get in the pool in our backyard. She was behind me, and I couldn’t see her face when she asked me, “Did the lady who had me in her belly pass away?” My heart sank to the pit of my stomach. I asked her if anyone had talked to her, and she told me she just knew. I had one of the most unimaginable conversations that no one wants to have with their young child, to take away her innocence, to know that she wouldn’t get to see her birth mother again until they meet again in Heaven. It floored me. Mommy D was only in her 20’s when she died of breast cancer. Too young, practically still a child herself. And now I face the reality that my daughter may have the gene too for breast cancer and what I need to do to prepare for this possibility. This is my why. Yes, I’d like to win the money, as I have big plans for that, but I know that the chances of winning a big contest like this is slim to none. But I can at least use our story and our journey for good and hopefully make a difference to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer. I hope you will vote for me. I want to be able to use my voice to help someone else, even if it’s just for one person, then that’s a life saved.
