It was Chelseas 8th Birthday last week (I know, how could I possibly have a child that old??), and we celebrated with a cupcake themed party.
Instead of lolly bags, everybody took home a Pink Poppy Cupcake trinket box (with a surprise inside), and a very cool helium ballon.
Naturally I got a bit carried away, and decided I would use the Material Posessions cupcake book for inspiration and make napkins – I know, what was I thinking??
So, anyway only one (sorta) got finished before I realized the ridiculousness of this plan, and moved on. That said, if time had been on my side, how good would these have looked?
Of course, the cake is always the main event, and Chloe from Just Desserts gets all the credit – they were a hit!
Not only did they look gorgeous, they tasted pretty good as well!
Happy Birthday Chelsea,
Love Mum xxx
