I cleared out my back room and set the table for party time. I have been planning this party for months, of course, and now it was time to execute! I found adorable princess party containers at the Christmas Tree Shop, and ordered a bunch of princess and pirate balloons. The kids made treasure/jewelry boxes, fruit loop necklaces and more. I had a variety of snacks and drinks available for the kids and adults to nibble while we did the crafts.
I continued my cupcake cake theme for this party as well, since it saves so much time. This time a request for a princess cake was in order and it needed to be PINK!! I ordered a Wilton pink food coloring, so I could make sure it was a true pink icing. I make all my icing from scratch, as well as the cupcakes. Gianna wanted chocolate cupcakes, so that is exactly what she got! If you're looking for a great icing recipe, look no further, Wilton Buttercream Icing, is the best! In addition to the cupcake cake, I made my famous chocolate covered pretzels and "jewel" rice krispie treats! At the end of the day, everyone went home full, happy and exhausted from all the fun!! Thanks for making Gianna's birthday a blast, the princess is off to dreamland and the queen is on her way as well!
