CeCe's Bake Shop

We had CeCe's Bake Shop birthday party today.  We decided to have it today because most of her friends were out of town last week and this weekend.  It worked out great having it on a Monday morning.  

Super cute invitation I found on Etsy

She loves helping me plan her parties and decided on a pink and yellow theme this year.  Here we are decorating her cake that she insisted needed to be a white square cake with white icing.  

Big thanks to my friend Melanie for helping us bake the cake last week.  We froze it and that made it much easier to decorate since it was still cold today.  Cappy's steady hand helped get all the icing smooth.  

We spruced the cake up by adding pink sixlets and using sprinkles to make a big 4 in the middle.  It turned out super cute! 

CeCe decided on a 'kitchen party' about 8 months ago.  We narrowed it down to baking cupcakes.  She didn't want to just decorate the cupcakes, she wanted to mix, stir and bake them also.  Hmmm.....could we do it?  Of course we can!  I made aprons for each of her and her friends to wear and my friend Melanie's mom made these super cute bakers hats and mailed them to us.  

The party room this year was the kitchen of course! 

As soon as some of her friends got there we started the first group mixing their ingredients.  

Cappy helped with the mixer station

And they worked together to get everything ready for the oven

 While the cupcakes baked and cooled we ate lunch.  Anthony came to eat with us and brought Pizza Hut!  She wanted Pizza Hut, fruit and pirates booty.  Easy and yummy!  

The boys.  They played baseball most of the time but stopped to have some lunch.  Two of these are big brothers of CeCe's friends and two are friends he invited.  

 Happy Birthday Dear CeCe, Happy Birthday to you!  

 After we finished eating cake, the cupcakes were cool enough to decorate!  

Each girl decorated and took home 4 cupcakes.  We sent them home with these cute cupcake boxes full of their creations and a note from CeCe.

Everyone went outside for a few minutes before heading home.  It was hot today, but not 100 degrees like it was last year for her party!  

 Before they left I requested a picture of everyone in their aprons and hats.  Some wouldn't wear the hats and this is the best picture I got!  Only missing little Claire.  

It was a super fun party and CeCe said every part of the party was her favorite.  That equals success for me!
