12 years old

Hi everyone!

We celebrated another birthday with another festive cake. 

Although Arielle turned 12, there seemed to be no age limit for mommy's cakes! 

She wished a cake with flowers on it, an elephant, a giraffe and so on.... I had to draw the line somewhere. 

I wasn't as organized and ahead of time this year as per the Covid 19! So the same morning I was shopping for favors and balloons. Thankfully I found some that were matching the cake and the flowers that my husband had brought from Costco the evening before. ouf!

That morning I also made a card. Thanks to already colored images, I just had to refresh the colors and add the penguin, bird and cake! Turned out perfectly fine!

For the cake, I made some fondant flowers with the kids during the week.  I made an elephant and a very modern rainbow (that kind of rainbow is to be found in every paper collection these days!) + the rainbow is the symbol that says everything is going to be ok right now. I thought it was working well.

Here are some details:

The #2 candle was recycled from Maya's 2 years old cake! And went through 4 moves - 2 overseas!

Got some matching balloons. Thankful for a party store 10 minutes away from the house! Yay for being back in the US! Try this in Paris...

Voilà! 2 friends came over. It was small, contended and perfect!! I still have nightmares from the golden birthday party in prague!! LOL
