bumble bee birthday

Today is my Niece Ava's 1st birthday!  Her Daddy calls her his honey girl so my Sister had a bumble bee birthday party for her last Sunday.

Get this thing out of here!  I said SWISS Meringue, NOT BUTTERCREAM!!!


I said swiss meringue...

Haha what a sweet theme for a first year's birthday party! The picture of the cake meltdown is pretty priceless though! Hopefully next year she'll get swiss meringue!

Cute party theme and everything was so pretty. Your cake was darling. Meltdowns are common at parties but gee give the girl swiss meringue next year.......

Awww sad face!! I'd have loved the cake, Nikki ;-) especially w/those abso-freaking-dorable marzipan almond bees. Great details throughout the celebration. Happy 1st to Ava Grace!

Maybe the cutest party I've ever seen! That photo of her screaming because of the cake made me LOL, so reminiscent of Dane's 1st cake experience. Great job on the cake and decor!

Katia said...

Hahaha! She does get her drama from her Mama :-( Great pictures!Thanks again for all your help. It was a great party! I'm so sad she's 1 already...

Katia said...

P.S. She laughed when she saw the crying pictures... So you didn't tramatize her with the Buttercream ;-)
