Easton's 4th Birthday

Easton had a Transformer Birthday party this year, and he loved it.  For some crazy reason, we did not take pictures of his actual party.  Luckily, I took a few before the party, as well as several on his actual birthday.

At the party, we did a theme "Transformers Search for Treasure."  We had a story of how the transformers found treasure.  To determine who won the treasure, we did a dice tournament: Autobots vs Decepticons.  Each person at the party chose a transformer, and we had several teams.  The team that rolled the highest moved on.

Once again, I learned while making the cakes:

• Make Brown Sugar Frosting
• Make Marshmallow Fondant

Felicity's 2nd Birthday

I did a My Little Pony themed birthday party for Felicity.  We played pin the tail on Rarity (pony) for the girls and pin the tail on Spike (dragon) for the boys.  It was a lot of fun.

As we sang Happy Birthday to Felicity, she just had a blank stare.  Everyone was wondering if she was going to start crying, but she didn't!  She was one spoiled little girl.

It is amazing how much you can learn just by making a cake.  With her castle cake, I learned how to do/make so many things:

• Make Wedding Buttercream Frosting
• Add Support to Tiered Cakes
• Add Moisture to Cakes
• Smooth Buttercream Frosting

I was pleased to find out that my choice of colors (gold, purple, and white) are truly the colors of the Canterlot castle.  I did not know that until after the birthday party as I was throwing away all of the cases/booklets that held the My Little Ponies!  What a great coincidence.
