About Us


Mary Ann Ross and Kimberly Lainson are a dynamic mother and daughter team that became business partners in November 1997 for different reasons. Mom had taken an early retirement and was bored (one can only re-organize the fridge so many times!). Kimberly wanted to stay home with her four children. So, we did what we knew best. Having fun with kids, and started an at-home business that has grown from one room in Mom's house to a converted outbuilding on her rural property in Washington and now located in a new large warehouse facility. In our growth, we've added two additional web sites -- www.CakeWorksCentral.com and www.HarryPotter-Birthday.com

Birthdays & More at The PartyWorks is a fun, colorful online party store with designs specializing in kid's birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, party games and craft ideas, loads of free party and cake decorating information, and a free colorful online magazine. We also offer pre-packaged discounted parties. CakeWorks Central has cake decorations to match the party themes as well as lots of cake and cookie photos with directions. HarryPotter-Birthday is the site to find supplies and free party and cake decorating ideas for the perfect Harry Potter party. Mom and Daughter continually add to the valuable Party Library offered to all visitors which includes free kids party games, patterns for theme cakes, shower games, recipes, and more. Kids and parents alike enjoy surfing through their site.

INTRODUCING... The Board of Directors... Don't tell them that because they are really our guinea pigs and help us select the children's birthday party themes, eat desserts we have made from our cake patterns, play the games and sing the songs. They are our best critics...after all,the ones who are having the fun at all the parties know what makes the party work!
