A Garden Party for Baby's First Birthday

There is something just magical

about baby's first birthday party and

with a cake like this, how can it be

anything but magical.  Goldie is one and mama

Lindsay said she found all

of her ideas for the party

on Pinterest.com. 

I just adore this

ruffle cake.  I had never seen one

before and now I have seen them  all 

over the internet.

You can find out how to

make it online with how to videos

on Youtube.

Have you joined Pinterest yet?  It is

really fun.  As a matter of fact you will

find that I have pinned many of you, my

blog friends and have featured some

of your beautiful pictures.

Lindsay made this fun lace and fabric

hanging that set the tone for the

table.

She ordered these adorable straws on line and

put them in Ball jars.

Matching lace and fabric ties

top the cute jars.  

Pink is the order of the day

and it looks so cool and refreshing

in the summer outdoors.

A touch of pink was added to

 Rice Krispie Treats and 

then they were cut into hearts and flowers.

These fantstic little ham and swiss sliders

were a recipe she found on Pinterest.  You

make a poppy seed butter and top the

bun with it and then bake them until

the cheese melts.  These were a huge hit.

Pink and purple "ice cream cone"

cupcakes were adored by

all of the little ones.  She

placed the two frostings in 

separate icing bags then put them

in a larger bag together.  The larger

bag had a 1M tip and when it was

squeezed, the two colors came out.

This way the colors don't mix!

Another one sneaks off the platter!

The kids also had fun blowing bubbles.

Now for the funnest part.  Is this

a tradition in your home?  Do you let

them attack their cake on their first

birthday?  We love this.

Look at how she has her foot

up on the high chair tray -  Miss Casual.

This cake is almost too pretty to let her tear into it.

She is just too lady-like.

Ok, so she gets a little help here.

Sometimes you have to teach

them how to dig in!!!

 Mmmmmmm, I think I like this tradition.  Can I do it next
year too?

Let's finish with a few photos of the other 

party goers. (These are all six of my

grandkids!  To be a grandmother is

the greatest thing in the world!)

Everyone had a wonderful time.

Happy 1st Birthday Goldie!
