Another Year Older...Another Funtastic Party!

Liam's 4Th birthday party was Sunday and it was a success. The hit of the party was the bouncy house of course. Liam did tell me at bedtime he wished I would have planned games?! Who knows where that came from because he has yet to attend a party with games. I told him next year I would be SURE to have some fun games planned.

The cake turned out pretty good and everyone had at least one piece. I neglected to get many pictures of the room before everyone started showing up. One hour to decorate was not enough! The food catered from the Club was just OK. I really do prefer having cookout birthdays. But all in all it was a great party. The only thing missing were the grandparents and our Pensacola Pals!

Marshmallow Fondant

My cake decorating instructor told us all about a cool recipe she had seen on Wilton.com for marshmallow fondant. Most people aren't huge fans on fondants flavor but it looks great when done well. Marshmallow fondant is easy to make, cheap, and made from marshmallow!!! Need I say more? I found a recipe/tutorial on a great blog called Cake Journal and gave it a go. SO easy to make but a bit of a mess. (Well at least the way I made it.) If you would like to give the recipe a try you can find it here.

This week will be super nuts with me trying to get Liam's birthday cake complete and looking presentable. I will post pictures as soon as I can of both cake and party. Fingers crossed everything falls into place. If you know me at all you will know I like to make sure I top my previous projects.

Birthday Time Again!

Liam's 4th birthday is right around the corner and party planning has begun! I LIVE to throw parties! This year Liam is wanting an Imagination Movers party. The sad part is Disney has not come to their senses and started putting out Movers merchandise yet. They just got picked up for their 3rd season so I am sure they will have a whole like out about a month after Liam's birthday! OH WELL! My brain is already pumping with ideas. The cake will be a challenge but I am planning on making it again this year. Keep your fingers crossed that I get a stand mixer soon. The one down side of living in the UK is that 220v situation. I could have my mixer shipped over here but a transformer for it would cost a couple hundred dollars! Mike said I could buy a 220 mixer but now the search is on to find one.

I am looking forward to this party planning...it makes me feel ALIVE! A little dramatic tonight, sorry! Stay tuned to see how the party and cake turn out and if I get stuck in blue coveralls!
