Handcrafted party supplies and occasional decorations

11/06/2023

I’ve been working on a few personal craft projects whilst my Etsy’s been closed, one being the pleasure of making the welcome sign for my friends baby shower, whilst was the boujee-est baby shower I’ve ever attended!

07/03/2023

I have made the decision to close my diary until further notice.

I’m currently faced with a few too many personal factors that isn’t allowing me to provide the ultimate service I want to give to my customers so I am down tooling until I can pour all my time and effort in to it again.

All open orders will be complete and delivered still to my high standards, but I wont be taking on any additional orders.

Thanks for your support, and maybe stick around 🤍

This cake is so fetch!

Doesn’t it just hit you right in the 00’s nostalgia?! Absolutely incredible and such an amazing set to collab with Millie on.

The toppers came complete as a whole set but can be separated into an individual main topper, or a set of the smaller charms/cupcake toppers.

Ain’t nothing strange about this stranger things brownie stack!

This topper set is so versatile, it can be ordered as a set, separately, as cake charms or cupcake toppers 😍 brb just obsessing

If you see this please give it a like, Thankyou ♥️

One from the weekend 🤪

Remember I can turn a brownie stack into any theme to suit a persons favourite things! 2 weeks notice is required for personalised custom orders as I’d need to order the toppers 😊

Don’t @ me cos it’s January and I’m posting Christmas content,

Before they get lost in my thousands of photos on my phone, I just NEEDED to share these Santa gift boxes I made 🥹🥹🥹 I filled them with all kinds of sweets and chocolates but they could be filled with any small gift, jewellery, gift cards, or even nothing just cos it’s cute 🥰

Give Father Santy a like if these should make an appearance next Christmas.. or even a comparatively cute bunny at Easter?! 🐰

Starting a new year means everyone has a birthday or yearly celebration again. Let me be part of it by making you a kick ass cake topper.

Diary is now open, hit me up. 🤘🏼

I’ve taken the last minute decision to close for Christmas due to postal strikes and my printer being out of action due to me ordering the wrong colour refill ☠️

I will still be taking last minute local orders that don’t require posting.

Rebranding to The Crafty Lemon and working more closely with small business bakers has allowed me grow and create some weird and wonderful products.

Thanks to everyone who ordered from me and supported me in any way bit or small! It’s been a fun one 🍋

The crafting process of making a cake topper.. at lightning speed ⚡️

I managed to get a 42 minute video down to 16 seconds 🤯

I designed this cake topper for my cousins 18th and it was my first attempt at the shaker style (with the confetti in the middle). This topper has since been quite popular via Etsy, so it’s a keeper - don’t you think?

You can order this via DM or Etsy and can be made for any name and age.

Sharing a personal project of a keepsake explosion memory box for our besties 30th with a spa gift voucher in the middle 🧖🏼‍♀️

Cakes for friends only mean one thing - me and brookies_bakes_ have full reign the design (and flavour)

We’re having a ✨ rebrand ✨

Ok, I know there was a logo remade for Bennillustration and I’m super proud of everything I’ve done and made under this name but I felt like it wasn’t very cohesive and just didn’t really make sense anymore.

So I now introduce THE CRAFTY LEMON 🍋 a fine nod to my crafty side and my love of anything lemon related. Focusing my products on a broader range of party supplies and occasional decoration (you know, celebration cake toppers and Christmas bits and anywhere in between)

I’ve learnt a lot, including how this small biz fits in with my day to day life and how I very rarely stick to one craft, I want to offer the best of me and all my products, hobbies and crafts; as well as the BTS and tips and tricks in to it all.

So look out for a few more changes and new products around here. Cmon, it’s gonna be juicy.

13/04/2022

One fine glow up indeed🤩

Remember a few weeks ago when I offered £1 toppers on a range of designs? Well this is one of em. Just look at the difference between the initial digital idea to the final topper 😍

You really can’t show that 3D element on a digital draft, sometimes you just gotta trust the process.

And how good does it look in the customers cake?! Made by her mum may I add. Incredible 👏🏼

Coming to an Etsy near you soon 😜

Please note there is a delayed processing time of approx 1-2 weeks due to personal circumstances.

It’s global recycling day today 🌍 ♻️ and did you know that all my packaging is either compostable or recyclable?

Whilst my products may not be recyclable, I encourage customers to keep hold of their items to either reuse or to keep safe as a memory.

I am by no means a fully eco business however I am mindful in taking those small steps, such as using compostable cellophane and cardboard postal boxes, and continuous keeping our environment in mind.

These compostable bags and stickers are from , whom are based locally to me which I didn’t realise until after I placed my order!

What small steps do you take to help our environment?

11/03/2022

Keeping it simple yet personalised is where it’s at. And affordable too!

It’s like a crime to have a beautiful cake with no topper to go with it!

Each topper is handmade to order 💌
Available on Etsy in 2 different sizes and styles.

“There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish”

To all the bad ass bi***es out there, Happy International Women’s day.

Keep smashing life every single day.

And to all the female owned, small business bakers, candle makers, earring creators and more… keep going and always keep the community alive because otherwise I’m just an idiot who shows my face on here for nothing 😂

✨MY CRAFT CORNER ✨

Where all the crafty magic happens. It is genuinely a dream to be able to have this set up in my home.

We’ve had a few beds in this room since we moved in 2 years ago but had the grand total of 2 people stay overnight (one being my sister turning up drunk at 2am, dancing in my living room until 4am and leaving at 11 after eating my food and watching my netflix - so does it really count? 😂) therefore we turned it in to something more useful that houses all of my crafty crap!

The other half of the room is my home office, so as my better version of the Sean Kingston song goes, I could literally work all day, and craft all night in this room.

I absolutely love it, but I gotta give a shout out to my dining table - the OG crafting place. That bad boy helped me through my Christmas chaos 2020 when I set up my Etsy in the last weekend of November, the real MVP ✌🏼

Swipe for a cute surprise and LYK DIS POST if you think he’s cute 🧸

Spent a bit of time today working on this unfinished diamond project I started back in the summer.

I’ve been feeling quite unwell over the last couple of weeks so it’s nice to have a bit of me time and focus on something that’s solely for my own enjoyment.

How do you spend your self-care Sundays? 🧖🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️💆🏻‍♀️

Another Christmas ends and a new year begins, it goes so quick!

Christmas is always my busiest time for Bennillustration so it is bitter sweet when January comes, but it gives time to recharge and reflect and think of some funky new ideas 💡

I am so thankful for all your orders, likes and follows I’ve had throughout 2021. Let’s see what 2022 has in store 💕
