B's birthday-party theme this year was "Birthday in Venice." She had seven friends at her party (two more were out of town and couldn't make it).
The cake:
 |
Vanilla with lemon filling and buttercream underneath rolled fondant |
The Carnival masks:
 |
| We spray-painted paper-mache masks gold and glossy white, then set the girls loose with feathers, sequins, glitter, paint, and glue guns |
The gondola races:
 |
| The birthday girl |
 |
| The two teams (each girl had to put on a gondolier hat, striped shirt, black pants, red sash, and enormous black shoes, then race to the other end of the room and back while carrying a cardboard "gondola." |
Another successful party, although I'm sure we're going to be finding feathers and glitter in random places for weeks.

{Chuckle} That does look like a fun party. I'll be surprised if you find all the glitter in less than a several months, tho. {MISCHIEVOUS SMILE}
