Pretty in Pink - Paris Birthday Party

Another birthday party is down in the books at our happy home!  This little cutie just turned 11 and planned each and every detail of her special day.  From the tulle on the chairs to the feather boa on the light fixture - the girl knew what she wanted!

Chocolate cake, white cupcakes in cones, and cotton candy were on this years birthday celebration menu!

We've done cupcakes in ice cream cones before and as always, they were a big hit with all.  Only two left by the end of the party.  Much more kid friendly too than traditional cupcakes in wrappers.  No wrappers to peel off = less crumbs on the hands = less crumbs on the floor!  Yay me!  Don't they look delish?

Cotton candy was a party favorite too.  What kid doesn't LOVE cotton candy, and it looked so fluffy, colorful, and cute in the little glass parfait cups.  A dollar a bag - money well spent.  By the way, I bought three bags.  One and a half bags filled the cups - the other bag and a half was gone before the guests even arrived.  YUM!

We looked and looked for the perfect cake topper.  The birthday girl really wanted an Eiffel Tower but we couldn't find any that were large enough to be noticed, but small enough to not smash the cake!  So we went for this DIY paper pinwheel.  Stay tuned for a tutorial on how to make one for yourself!

Happy Birthday to my sweet, beautiful daughter.  What a ginormous piece of my heart that little girl holds!
