This weekend was my niece’s 2nd birthday, and I spent the day surrounded by Tinkerbell, various princesses, and lots and lots of cake. I love decorating for birthday parties so I headed over on Friday to help out with the set-up.
While I hung rows of streamers, my sister baked 3 (yes, count them 3) custom cakes and 24 cupcakes including this adorable enchanted tree trunk. (Can you believe this is even a cake? Love the little mushrooms!) Rebecca recently opened her own bakery in San Marcos so she managed to make the Tinkerbell cake, a cake shaped like a Porsche for my dad, and her customer’s orders all in the amount of time it took me to make one wonky pompom and hang these streamers. I always expect good things from her (she is my sister after all), but she keeps blowing me away with all that she’s doing. And I think this tree trunk cake might be my favorite yet.
Next up: my mom and I worked on a little sewing project for the birthday girl. It was really fun to plan this present together. I’ll have some pictures to share of my part tomorrow.
