This past holiday weekend was my sister's birthday, as I mentioned in the previous post. I had a blast celebrating it with her and the family. While Joey was outside cooking the steaks (which were wonderful, btw, thanks Joey), I was busy trying to decide how to decorate the cake. It was Aubrey's idea to use her Polly Pocket dolls on the cake somehow, but I wasn't sure as to how I would get them on the cake to where they wouldn't fall over. I did my best to make it work and gave them all skirts made out of crumbled cake and icing and then covered those skirts with a layer of icing. It wasn't easy, but I had to follow through with it since Aubrey and Ella were so excited with the idea of having the dolls on the cake.
Thanks again, Holly and Joey, for having me over this weekend so that I could partay with y'all. It was a lot of fun, I'll see you guys soon.
The cake! Aubrey helped with the oh so special sprinkles placement. I don't know if you can tell or not, but Joey was able to stick a couple of the candles into the dolls hands using some icing. :)
The birthday girl!!!
Cali enjoyed the little party blowers. She was just laughing and laughing everytime Aubrey and Ella would blow on them. Isn't that smile just contagious!?!
Here's a video while we're were at the table eating our cake and ice cream. I thought it was just too cute not to post. Enjoy!
