Since space is limited in our tiny apartment we rented out the party room at the Cupcake Boutique (thanks dad!):
I wish I could take credit for the incredible decorations but I can't. The room comes decorated just like this! I used some of the cupcakes we made to display Momo's birthdays through the years:
Displayed the ginormous cupcake cake:
BTW - I used " Wilton's "Giant Cupcake Pan". I did some research and found that a lot of people preferred this one over the silicone one. It was easy to use. I did bake the bottom piece first for about 15 minutes before adding the batter for the top piece. Also I didn't see the need even frost the bottom half.
I also made some "cupcake bites":
I found the recipe on Jahjong's blog and just had to try it! Her tutorial is fantastic and it ended up being much easier than I anticipated. My pictures don't do these little bites justice - they are small! Here's a picture in my daughter's little hand:
And they were surprisingly yummy! A little crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I can't wait to make these again!We also had some face painting thanks to my best friend and her daughter:
The girls frosted cupcakes:
And of course there was licking of the frosting:
A little game of pin the cherry on the cupcake (poster made by Kailani):
I totally forgot to bring a blindfold so the birthday crown came in handy:
And those that had their face painted we found the apron to be a better alternative:
It was finally time to blow out the candles and Momo couldn't wait. She blew them out before we even sang "Happy Birthday" to her!
It ended up being a fun little party with some fun little girls! :)
