Birthday Month

Sorry I haven't been able to post anything this week.  This past month has been crazy because school is starting, there were 4 birthdays, the Fair is in town and we had to do stuff for that, and we had lots of other things to do.  This year we all had family parties except for me. I had two parties because I happen to have two awesome best friends that threw me my second surprise party.  Surprise parties are awesome. Here was my birthday cake (which I decorated):

Here is my sister's pool cake (made by my mom):

And cutest of all, my younger brother's rainbow cake:

Guess what I got for my birthday? Blue wall paint (we are finally gonna paint my room!).

P.S. I'm thirteen now!

Amy Atlas Style Birthday Party

        This Birthday party was inspired by the ever amazing party designer, Amy Atlas.  This party's theme was cookies n' milk, and the three flavors of milk.  We had a large assortment of color-flow cookies, cupcakes and handmade white chocolates (we put chocolate in a heart mold). We didn't end up cutting into the cake at all because we were already on sugar highs anyway, and there were way too many goodies.  At my sister's party, an hour later, only one person ate the cake (we reused my cake for her party). The big paper poppies are from Martha Stewart. The only difference is that we bent the edges over.

 

In the background we filled pink present bags with tissue paper and flowers.  On either sides of the table we have 3 kinds of milk. 

         The cake is covered in marshmallow fondant with a ribbon for the border and gumpaste daisy's.

 Mini Cupcakes served on a silver platter.

Royal icing butterfly cookies.

 

Molded chocolates 

We covered a box in brown paper to make the desserts at different levels.

We drank milk from great grandma's fancy glasses that we found in the garage.

We got so sick of sugar!
