Birthday Prep

Leila's birthday is coming up,  planning isn't really stressful this time as we are not celebrating it at home which means less stress and less messy, sigh.  That is because she opted to do it in Kizsports where we recently attended her friend's birthday.  Ohh well, ok that is even better for me since they do packaged parties which includes free playtime in the kids' indoor playground.  Discussed it with hubby and I got a thumbs up. So, here we go.  All we need to bring is the birthday cake. 

The Cake Plan

I love making cakes and nothing thrills me more with cakes than doing Kid's birthday cakes where I find them fun to do and needless to say, challenging.  My daughters cake has been planned since last year.  She had been wanting to have a Tinkerbell cake, but that changed after she saw Mika's Cake, a princess doll cake with crown.  Kid's do love to do what their friends do! She like to have the same cake and the same kind of party. She will have a doll cake in blue which I find strange because her favorite colors are pink and purple, but she's my customer; customer is always right!

Getting Crafty

So when the idea of a princess party was born, my crafty hands are itching to do something.  Well, I dropped by to a party shop to check ready-made crowns for kids instead of party hats, and alas, when you need it, there is no way to be found. I searched for crown templates and surprised how easy to do these Paper Crowns.  My daughter loves to decorate them with sticker blings.  I also used some of my nail polish with sparkles.  I can't contain the excitement myself seeing the kids with these paper crowns.  It's unique and so inexpensive and fun to do! We love decorating them and now, we are feeling like royal family. She would use her crown when she wakes up in the morning, and crown the Queen (that's me :) and King (Daddy) so that makes her a princess.
