Amanda turns 8 next week, and I got off easily for her party.
Instead of the typical little girl party where I had to entertain them with mind-numbing games she elected to have a BBQ with her friends and their families. Bonus - easy for me!
She had a Hello Kitty theme but I was so behind getting ready that there was no way I could get a Hello Kitty cake done. Instead, she let me off easily and we made rainbow cakes. In fact, I was so far behind, the cupcakes only got baked 6 hours before the party, which meant the icing knocked the top of the first cupcake I iced. The kids called it an icing cookie! After that, I piped the icing on and spread it VERY gently, and managed to keep the rest mostly intact.
Here is how our cupcakes looked:
One of the big advantages of a BBQ is that Michael does the cooking!
Lots of kids, lots of balls, which also meant lots of time digging balls off of the roof and out of neighbours' yards!
The birthday girl getting ready to blow out her candle (there was an "8" candle behind the sparklers).
