We had decided on a pink and brown theme, based on the cupcake liners she chose for her party.
The cupcake liners were pink with brown polka dots. The invitations, which I have been waiting until after the party to post, were also pink and brown. (separate post to come)
I made 24 white cupcakes and 24 chocolate cupcakes. I made a double batch of pink buttercream frosting and frosted half of the cupcakes. The other half were left plain so the children could decorate their own cupcakes. I used 2 ounce plastic to-go condiment containers and gave each child containers of pink frosting, brown jimmies, and pink M&M's. They were able to pick white or chocolate cupcakes and decorate them as they chose. Of course I had pink plastic knives for them. It was interesting seeing them get to work, and a lot of fun!
The party favors were homemade marshmallows, coated in a mix of light pink and hot pink sugar. I tied each one with a pink and brown ribbon. This is only the second time I made the marshmallows and this batch turned out even better than the first. This time I had a candy thermometer and didn't whip the batter quite as long. They were so soft and fluffy!
This was the 2nd of the 3 birthday celebrations - so, lots more to come!
