Project Bread

A few weeks back, Eutopia Events participated in Project Bread's Walk for Hunger in Boston, Massachusetts. We are excited to tell you that we raised just over $1,300 for this fundraiser! We are so proud to have been able to contribute to this very important event. We walked the full 20 miles, blisters and all! It was amazing to be part of such a good cause.

According to the Press Release, 42,000 walkers showed up this year to help the fight against hunger. Over $3.8 million was raised! Unbelievable!

Thank you everyone for all your support and donations! Without your help, Project Bread wouldn't be able to help the thousands of people who need assistance in Massachusetts.

We are still able to take donations so, if you haven't donated but would like to, please click here to visit our team page.

Spring is in the Air!

We've had some warmer weather here in Massachusetts this past week. It is difficult not to have thoughts of Spring and to be hopeful that even more warmer days are on their way! In the spirit of spring-like thoughts, we have some very sweet birthday cakes to share.

Butterflies are a sure sign of spring. This butterfly cake for a little girl named Isla was made for her first birthday! She even had her own mini cake she could get her hands into. What kid could resist that giant butterfly? Isla managed to eat almost the entire cake herself. Even the fondant flowers! Guess she liked it! :) The mini smash cake was made of yellow cake. The bottom layer of the larger cake was chocolate flavor with peanut butter filling, the top layer was yellow with strawberry filling, all covered in fondant.

The ladybug cake was made for Meghan for her second birthday. We were told the birthday girl couldn't keep her hands off the little ladybugs! We are happy she loved the cake so much. The ladybugs were made with yellow cake and the round cake with flowers was red velvet flavor, all with a vanilla buttercream frosting.

Two very special birthday cakes for two very special little girls!

Glowing in the Rain?

What a cool concept by Bright Night! These umbrellas light up! We love the design and practicality of this umbrella. We especially love the idea of using them for a wedding! Not that any couple particularly wants a rainy wedding day, but these sure could brighten it a bit and make for some unique photographs.



If you are looking for an umbrella with a bit more style, the lighted umbrellas come in patterns as well. Here are a few to choose from.



Of course, we couldn't just stop at the lighted umbrellas. Oh no! I guess we're already thinking about Spring:) We started to search out other fun umbrella options.

We love the umbrellas at Bella Umbrella. There is an umbrella that could suite just about anyone's taste. They also offer rentals which is a bonus!

Here are some fun and lovely umbrellas at Bella Umbrella.
