I LOVE parties! I love creating invitations, decorating, planning the “menu,” putting together favors, the cakes…Okay, so I don’t actually bake the cakes. CJ’s cakes are way too yummy to compete with, but I do “design” them! I’m fortunate enough that my girls’ birthdays are 6 months apart, so I have plenty of time in between to plan the next! (Although, McCanless’ January 5th birthday always sneaks up on me!)<\/p>\n

We invited her girlfriends and had a fabulous cupcake decorating party at Saffron here in Hartsville! McCanless even helped with the planning this year. She had very specific requests for her 5th birthday party. (I think I’m rubbing off on her.) She wanted everything to be pink, lots of sprinkles and no boys! She did not want us to sing Happy Birthday and she knew exactly where everyone should sit. Saffron catered and made wonderful chocolate cupcakes with vanilla marshmallow icing, tons of sprinkles, and ice cream! We also had a big pink CJ’s cake! We made a mess, but had a great time!<\/p>\n

I found these great little cookie turners and icing spreaders for favors. McCanless and I put them together this morning before the party.<\/p>\n
