My Princess turns 3

I know , I know ...

haven't posted for a while.

I've been really busy getting ready for another sale.

Painting everything in sight .

(More on that in another post.)

 

 

Last week my little Addie turned 3.

 Where has the time gone since her parents brought her home ?

I guess it's true ,

the older you get , the faster the time goes.

 

Addie is Princess CRAZY !

She knows all of their names and what color dress they wear.

Princess Ariel

 

Princess Belle

 

I bought her this dress

 ( after her birthday , you can never have too many princess dresses , right )

 thinking she would think it was Cinderella.

But  you really can't fool her.

She said ," it blue , but it not Cinderella."

What could I say ...

She knows her princess'.

Once again , I was in charge of birthday cakes and cupcakes.

Addie has so many people that love her ,

that her Mommy decided we should have two parties .

( ... I had nothing to do with that ,,,, )

Sooo...

I made not one but two cakes .

Now,

 I am NOT a cake decorator.

AT.ALL.

I was really a little nervous whether I could pull this off.

 

 

I was going to make her a princess cake ( make that 2 )

I wanted to make the old fashioned "Barbie " cakes like I had when I was young and my girls had too.

This is what I came up with .

 

Then ...

 I made another one.

My mantra became ,

Frosting is like spray paint , it can hide a multitude of sins.

If I didn't like the way it looked ,

I just added more frosting "stars" .

 

I used my go- to wedding cake batter  and butter cream frosting recipes.

(Which you can find by following the link or follwing me on Pinterest.)

 

It wasn't really a Princess Cake , but close enough I guess.

When grandpa walked in with the cakes ,

her eyes got big , and she said ,

" I get a fork ! "

Of course Mommy said, " No!"

But it was all this Grandma needed to hear :)

 

My princess has come a long way from then,

 

to now...

 

Time needs to slow down !

Really ,

it does!
