Anika's 6th Birthday

We invited the 5 little girls from Anika's kindergarten class to a "Tea Party". We started with crafts (decorate your own fan) and Perler beads. The table was set with tea cups and "purse" gift bags for the girls to bring home their crafts.
We asked the girls to bring their "fanciest hat", if they had one.
The "purse" cake (which tasted as good as it looked - I was pleasantly surprised. I had told the girls they might want to take off the jelly beans since they were the ones with a wild number of flavors and I didn't think that cinnamon or black licorice would be a nice surprise.)
Our SIX year old!


We enjoyed "chocolate tea" (aka hot chocolate) with our cake.

The whole group of giggly girls!
The happy birthday girl:
PS Sorry the post is so heavy of pictures of the cake but we had so much fun making it.

That purse cake looks familiar! We must have googled the same "Purse Cake" how-to video!

Happy 6th birthday, Anika! It seems you had the ultimate fancy party. :)
