Her favorite color changes with the wind. You wouldn’t have guessed it, though, based on her party decorations.
I started a board on Pinterest and asked her to join me in pinning ideas–details that would make her party unforgettable. As the board filled–with both her pins and mine–I noticed a trend: pink.
There was an ombre rose cake. What color do you want it? I asked. Gray and silver she said. Or Pink. That pink looks nice.
I went with pink more because I didn’t trust my tinting abilities with something darker. Only I ran out of white frosting so the ombre was disrupted by a blinding hot pink bouquet front and center. Oh well.
There were balloons. So many that I had to call in long-winded reinforcements. {No offense, Torri}. We served pizza and cherry-pink 7-UP. 7-Up for seven giggly teen girls. They giggled while they ate. The long line of them shiver-giggled as they stood waiting for the hot tub. And then they hushed each other, giggling late into the night.
There was a gift I cannot imagine ever having asked for, though it topped her wish list. A unicorn mask.
There were cake batter pancakes the next morning, served with a smothering of breakfast frosting, if there is such a thing. This is what they serve in heaven, I overheard.
They quickly dressed and took the unicorn mask out for a spin, acting silly charades out as cars passed inquisitively by. There was more giggling, I presume.
At fifteen, no longer stuck in the middle, but kind of she is.
As a fellow pink-lover, I approve of this party so much. What a beautiful day! I love how it’s Pinterest worthy, but not over the top. Just a beautiful day, simply done and special.
Did you make that cake? It’s gorgeous!
Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!
Awesome job with the cake. And where did you find those glass bottles & straws? Very cute!
The glass bottles were from chai tea beverages from Target. I simply peeled off the plastic label (no sticky residue – yay!) and dumped the chai. The straws were also from Target in the party aisle.
