Lily's 8th Birthday- Princess Tea Party

We celebrated our Baby turning 8 this weekend. 

I always let them pick their birthday party themes, and this year she picked a Princess Tea Party and I thought it was a perfect way to celebrate Princess Lillian.  This was such a fun party to plan, and it turned out adorable. Here a few pictures of some of the party details. 


 Chocolate Covered Strawberries- Simply strawberries dipped into melted chocolate.
 "Petit Fours" - Premade Pound Cake cut into cubes and covered with a glaze icing made from Powdered Sugar, vanilla and cream.

 Lady Fingers dipped in Dark Chocolate- I bought premade lady fingers from the Bakery section of Kroger and then dipped them in melted Dark Chocolate
 Chocolate Covered Oreos- I just drizzled melted chocolate melts over the oreos.
Marshmallow Pops- These were super simple, but the kids loved them! It is just Giant Marshmallows with a Sucker stick stuck into the bottom and then dipped into melted Chocolate Melts. 

Here is the full table including the cake (which was made by me as well)

The cake was a 4 layer white cake covered in buttercream icing. The castle was made from rolling out Fondant and then painting the designs using food coloring. The little flags were made from Scrapbook paper, wooden dowels and rhinestones. The cake was a Huge hit with all of the little Princesses. 



I arranged for a teenage girl I knew to dress as a Princess and come read the girls a story. Lily loved it, as she loves books! 
The "Princess" also participated in the Photo Booth fun. 




All in all, Lily had a Great party!
