After a marathon cooking day on Friday, it all culminated yesterday for my niece's 4th Birthday Party. It was her first proper party so we decided to go all out!
The theme for the party was princesses and pirates, and reports from the kids at the end of the day was that it was the best party ever – success!
The colour theme was pink polkadot and black and white stripes. I also made all the little labels, thank you cards, cupcake toppers, and the flag bunting to match with the colour theme.
The hero of the day was definitely the princess castle cake. My sister-in-law and I tackled this mammoth cake together, using the Wilton Romantic Castle Cake set, we made everything for it, including all the little fondant flowers! The bottom cake layer was vanilla and the top was strawberry butter cake. Excluding the cake baking time, it took us 5 hours to complete, but we were so pleased with the final cake, it looked amazing!
Also on the menu was the impressive candy buffet. We made pink princess cupcakes, black and white pirate cupcakes, strawberry macarons, marshmallow pops, princess crown cookies and pirate skull cookies.
Best…Party…Ever… And the birthday girl loved it which is of course the most important thing!
