Anna's 40 & Fab Birthday!

First off, I know it's been a while since I have blogged and I apologize. This year has been so busy for me that this has been put on the back burner. I will write another post with what's been going on this year and I am committing myself to updating my blog from now on. (Well at least try :) )

So this post is about my sister-in-law's 40 and Fabulous Birthday that took place yesterday, 6/11/11. What a blast! First of all, Kim (her awesome partner) planned this whole event.



Anna & Kim

This was a much deserved birthday party for Anna. She is such a beautiful person inside and out. She does so much for others and let me tell you, she does not look 40. She's gorgeous! :)

 So my part in this event was creating a dessert table. I was very excited to do this, not only because of who it was for but the color scheme was awesome! Hot Pink (fuschia) and zebra print.



This was my inspiration for the dessert table!

 First things first, the cupcake tower. I baked vanilla cupcakes topped with strawberry buttercream frosting and chocolate cupcakes topped with vanilla buttercream frosting. I wanted to keep the decorations simple so I made some fondant toppers  and topped all of them with pink disco dust. Love this stuff! I also made a mini square cake for the birthday girl and covered it in pink fondant and black and zebra print fondant circles. Loving the zebra print.

Next up, the goodies to fill the table. I made chocolated dipped fortune cookies with sprinkles, vanilla cake pops covered in pink sprinkles, chocolate covered oreos with pink martini glasses, sugar cookies topped with white chocolate and customized with the number 40 and an A, chocolate dipped pretzels, and gumballs. Everything just came together. The table was completed with custom soda bottles and water bottles with were made by Kim. The custom labels were cute!

I completed the dessert table with custom labels, custom table banner and table sign.

This was a great party and Kim did an awesome job putting it together. I was so honored to be a part of it. I love you Anna! Thank you for all that you do. :)
