I definetly had sugar covered.
Lucky charm and peep crispy treats.
After letting them set in the pan I cut them with cookie cutters in the shape of butterflies and flowers. They were a hit with the kids. I totally have eaten a few of the leftovers. But seriously, what better way to eat lucky charms? I'm totally eating one right now :)
Next I prepared a huge batch of mozzarella stuffed turkey balls, with ground sausage, pepperoni and a ton of veggies. Topped with fresh roasted red pepper-tomato sauce.
I had a very large brie wheel, sliced it in half, spread some orange marmalade, chopped mixed apples, pears, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and raisins. I wrapped it in puff pastry and baked for about 45 minutes. I also added some flowers and a butterfly cutout to the Brie.
And lastly my cake. Hadley wanted a butterflies so I made a butterfly cupcake cake, and a giant cupcake for uncle K's birthday. Tie dye of course. I didn't get pictures of all the finished food but here was some work in progress.
Ohh and I made drunken chai pudding. I was making the same pudding I made in my last post, but then I ran out of coconut milk. So, after rummaging through the cupboards I decided to make it a Mommy only dessert. Yup- coconut rum, vanilla vodka and a splash of frangelico liqueur soaked chai seeds. It came out good, I call it get drunk and stay healthy. It was really good, you need to like the chai seed texture to enjoy the pudding but I'd say it was a home run dessert. And you don't feel guilty after eating a few cupfuls.
H was so excited, she had no idea. She had quite a rough week of listening so I told her we cancelled her birthday. When she finally realized people were coming for her "..for mee?"
Needless to say we pulled of off the perfect day.
Her outfit was a fun diy project. The vest was a jean jacket that got to small, easy fix flip inside out and cut off the arms. Perfect size vest.
The skirt I made out of all the sentimental baby clothes I couldn't bare to get rid of. I made it just like any of the tulle skirts. All the strips were cut at completely randomly widths and lengths.
I have to say a huge thank you to my amazing ladies and framily to help me pull this together. It meant a lot to her that everyone came "just for me" "they all sang Happy Birthday to H". She also is ecstatic for her fishing pole, "daddy gonna show me, he's too big for mine, he just show me" can you say determined and spoiled.
Needless to say we are entering the age of three as a princess for sure.
Stay crafty.
Cheers
