Fairies on the Ombre Birthday Cake

Life isn't complete without Fairies.

The Ombre Cake.

Yes, they have Champagne balloons....


 


Balloons and lantern under the Parasol
























I do love to throw a party, and with Girl Child turning 25, I told her she could have a party at the house. (her 450 sq foot digs just doesn't work for large gatherings). Hopefully the weather holds and the 30 or so guests can stay outside. We decorated the yard today with lanterns, balloons and other festive items. A few weeks ago, Ky asked if I could make her an Ombre cake (dark to light).....NO PROBLEM says dear mother. This morning we baked 5 layers in layers from plum to pale pink, and iced it with the same. The thing is HUGE. A foot high and weighs about 20 lbs....lots of icing??!! Yikes, I hope it tastes OK. Tonight there's a SUPER MOON, specially ordered........

  13. I wondered how many layers that cake was. It's gorgeous! We've got three May birthdays (out of four people) in our house so I'm getting into high birthday gear myself.
    Hope the party was spectacular!
