Pinkety Pink Party



Happy, happy day to my pink loving tutu wearing girl. She is loud, she is fearless, she will try anything that the big boys try, and she really loves pink, and tutus, and tea parties. She wanted an Angelina Ballerina fairy princess party. The invites did not actually mention pink but suggested wearing a tutu or fairy dress. Since I didn't have a blog when she was a baby, here is a tiny snippet of the last three years.





When you were ONE I baked you a Rainbow Fish. I like to make up my own designs, the only two rules being maximal colour and maximal lolly coverage. Here are Roboboy's birthday cakes.





When you were TWO ....




the party you had been talking about for weeks, or was it months, was rained out and postponed three times. We celebrated with your best friend and a very last minute cake. You thought it was fantastic.




 When you were THREE we invited your best friends for girls only tea party.



And I baked you a Fairy Princess cake. The actual idea came at about 11 pm the night before the party, hence the more slap dash than usual icing.



We were so lucky to have our big kid neighbours on holidays, and BORED. They begged me to come and help out at the party. They help put faces on goody bag gingerbread men, dolloped cream onto scones, hung balloons, lay out more pink food than you could imagine, hid lollies, ran the lolly hunt and pass the parcel and that oldest Menace brother even donned a pink rabbit costume and brought his pet mouse and budgie over for extra entertainment.



Apparently you cannot tyre swing without constant squealing and giggling.




Nothing better than just hanging around with all your mates.






And best of all....... PRESENTS.






HAPPY BIG THREE my gorgeous girl. I think there are going to be a whole lot more tea parties going on over here.

  1. What a beautiful day for your beautiful girl. Three seems so much bigger than two. We have to go there in March. I love your cake repertoire. Sometimes the dodgy ones are the most beloved by the wee-uns.
