Paris Princess Fashion Birthday Party



Coral's birthday theme(s) this year was a Pink Paris Princess Fashion and a Barbie and the Three Musketeers swim party. Yep...she couldn't really nail it down, so that s what we ended up with. That was one seriously busy night.

I made pink cupcakes with wrappers made out of pink and black scrapbook paper. The cupcakes were topped with pink icing and homemade Eiffel Tower cupcake toppers. I really loved how those turned out. To make them I sketched a quick Eiffel Tower, and then scanned it into the computer. Nothing fancy, or even symmetrical, just a very rough sketch. Then I printed it out on card stock, and layered it with another piece of card stock. I around the little towers out, and then glued a toothpick between the pieces. They turned out adorable. I don't think I'll every purchase cake or cupcake toppers again.


I made tutus for all of the girls, and we had a fashion shoot. Loads of fun. Then the girls watched Barbie and the Three Musketeers, and made masks from paper decorated with stick-on gem stones, and ribbon. Above is a picture of them recreating the movie afterwards.
