My daughter who just happens to be the baby of our family turned 16 and her brother turned 17, 3 days later. Yes, they are 11 months and 22 days apart. No, we didn't plan it. We threw them a party. They went ice skating and then came home for pizza and wings. He's a man so there were no decorations for him. Purple is her favorite color but she humored me by letting me decorate in pink and white (Molly Ringwald, anyone?). Here are a few of the pics.
Obsessed with bell shaped lids.
I love the pink pearl edible beads.
Pink Cookies!!!! I just used a chocolate chip cookie recipe, used white chocolate chips and food coloring.
Can't have cookies without milk. I saw a mini version of this glass milk container on Pinterest. I found this one for a fraction of the cost.
Strawberry flavored Marshamallow's dipped in white chocolate.
It was nice. Happy Belated Birthday Blog Israel & Michaela!!
From South Africa With Love,
cute!!!! I love the cupcakes!!! did you made the cake from scratch? I've been baking cake from scratch and they are sooo good!!! (you know for me to say they are good, they really are!)
ReplyDeleteIcing yes, cake no. I had a box of mix from the states. I've made a few homemade ones but didn't want to chance it on their birthday.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking my "from scratch" rules to cakes! so far I've made four, and I have to say they were good...i made one like my moms, (and got her approval) some people said it taste it better than hers yay! lol. and i made a tres leches, the first one was too thick, but i made it a second time and nailed it!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on it. "From Scratch" cakes are a complicated thing, you have to get the consistency just right and you never know until it comes out. I made a butter cake with fresh whipped cream and strawberries. That one was awesome, moist and delicious.
ReplyDeleteA belated birthday wish for Michaela and Israel! And Nicole...I am missing you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I you. I was actually thinking and speaking about you 2 days ago. You are a ray of sunshine, a light in this very dark world, an inspiration to others. Even when you don't see it, think it, or believe it. I do.
