Birthday party

Yesterday was a pretty long day. I think I woke up at around 2 and couldn't get back to sleep. Then the alarm went off at 4. I went right to Presleys party after work because it's easier on Gibbs if I'm late rather than go home let him out and then leave him again. But that isn't what this post is about. This is about the party.

My phone takes horrible pictures so I stole these from my daughters Facebook page. First the cake that I made for her.

I found the tea set at Walmart for $4.97. You can't really see it too well in the picture but the teapot has steam coming out of it. I made that with some tulle fabric wrapped around a white fuzzy stick (kind of like a pipe cleaner but from the craft department) Then I made a number 2 and covered it with glitten and glued it into the steam.



Then just some random pictures. None with the cowgirl boots on since she took those off about 5 minutes after we got there.




I think she liked the doll that her aunt Amanda got her.

How cute the last picture is! The cake is awesome, it is adorable. I would never have thought of buying decorations for it in the toy department, but it worked wonderfully! You are so creative.

i saw the photos on FB but I did not notice the "steam" and the 2 coming from the tea pot. That is sheer genius and oh so very clever and creative.

Happy Birthday Presley! She looks adorable and the cake is awesome!

Pam said...

Happy Bday....so cute. And I LOVE what you did with the cake. I used to make the grands cakes for their bday and I would purchase toys like trucks and dinosaurs to put on their cakes. My daughter was grown by the time I started doing cakes and other then Evie I don't have a girl to do this for...amazing.

Ann said...

CheerfulMonk, thank you

Ginny, it was adorable watching her reaction. I often tell customers who want things on cakes that I can't do to try the toy section at the dollar stores.

Anni, thanks

Sandee, you get no argument here. I don't think she could be any cuter if she tried.

Grace thanks. I was originally just going to do the steam in the shape of a two but after playing it came out this way instead.

Briony, thanks so much

Lin I agree, she's a total sweetie and thank you

Pam, I often tell customers who want things on cakes that I can't do to try the toy sections. There are a lot of things there you can add to a cake

Reeni said...

The cake is so cute and so is your granddaughter!! That you would even think to have steam come out of the teapot is sheer genius.

Ann said...

Reeni, thaks. I had so much fun making that cake. Originally I was going to make the steam in the shape of a number 2 but then after playing around it ended up a little different

Catherine - Mixed Media Artist said...

the cake is awesome, especially with the tea-set that Grandma made even nore adorable...and at least Presley didn't rip the dress off, looks like it was a happy day...if not rather a long one for you...

Ann said...

Catherine, thank you. I had a lot of fun making the cake. Yes, it was good that she kept the dress on...lol It was fun and long. Once I got home I crashed on the couch until bed time.
