So here I am finally getting around to posting this!! We had such a fun time celebrating Emma's Fourth Birthday with some friends at a nearby park. Emma had been looking forward to this for months!! She wanted a purple cake and my dear friend who lives down the hall found the idea for this cake in Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade magazine. It was fun to make. I think I will definitely make one again for another occasion. Emma loved having all her friends together to play and eat and open presents!! We have made such wonderful friends here in Maryland- we love you!
Here is the Birthday girl under her Birthday banner that she and I made together.
Here is the view of the playground and our picnic area.

Here's a better view of the cake. I didn't make enough frosting, so it doesn't look quite as good as it could have, but Emma was very pleased with the outcome!
We love you, sweet Birthday girl!

I LOVE the cake!! Such a cute idea!!
ReplyDeleteThat cake is amazing!!! WOw! Good job! i'm glad everything went well!
ReplyDeleteThat cake is so Martha Stewart. I love it. The cool thing is, it would work with LOTS of theme colors!! Utterly adorably delectable.
ReplyDeleteI love the cake too. :) How did you do it?
ReplyDeleteI also love the 5th picture down, grants expression is hilarious as he pulls the heck out of that little girls hair. :)
So I am going to say what everybody else said, I loved the cake! So cute. I may have to copy that idea. Your little guy is getting so big. I can't believe how much hair he has. Mine looks bald compared.
ReplyDeleteMindy Mindy- I don't know if you will look at this again, but it is cupcakes anchored on a styrofoam ball with toothpicks. You anchor the cupcakes on, put tissue paper between them and then frost them on the ball. It was such fun to make!
