Another Birthday Party!

My DD just had her 18th birthday. She wanted a Disney Princess birthday party. Eighteen! Really? Disney Princess?! I decided to make a castle cake and individual princesses for each of the guests.


Since the castle was going to be mostly for looks, I just made a giant rice krispie treat base. I almost forgot to take "before" pics!














Here it is frosted!












The start of the decorations











Cute Kenzie and a finished castle
















The birthday girl wanted Belle. Fortunately, she turned out the best!










Here's the other girls






































It's a party at the castle! Is everyone here for the ball?








It took me most of a day to do all the cakes, but it was worth it! They were a big hit!

A Birthday Party!

Wow! Where does time go? I haven't posted to this blog FOREVER! I've made cakes for a couple of events recently so I thought I'd better update my blog.




We had our RS birthday party last month. I wanted to do another fancy cake, but since I was in charge of the event, I just didn't have time.

Here's how we decorated the RS room. Thank you Enrichment Committee (and DH) for all your help!


I made tissue paper pom poms that turned out pretty cute! I got the idea for them from Martha Stewart.



Here's a table setting. We used aqua fabric from last year and I cut out tissue circles to use them as confetti. I made aqua chocolate suckers in the shape of a music note with a scripture attached as a take-home favor. They stood up in a green gum drop.

Here's my cake. It was so easy and turned out very "party-ish"! Since I didn't have much time for cake decorating, I just did a copy-cat of a Nothing Bundt Cake. It definitely tasted better than it looked. I think all that frosting scared alot of people off but my family was happy when I came home with lots of leftovers. There were some delicious cakes there! I wish I would've gotten pictures of all of them!
My good friend, Nancy Hanson, came and performed a few songs for us for our program. She is so awesome & fun!
