I thought it would be fun to make Lexi her own little fairy garden so my husband & I put together a cute little fairy village.. i'm pretty sure this might become an annual summer thing as Lexi gets older! {tutorial/diy post to come}
curious about the Party Details?
Table Food:
Cupcakes:
miniature popsicle sticks from craft store (Joannes, Michaels, Walmart)

Used fudge type icing from the bakery at grocery store to put on top of chocolate cupcake.. grounded up Chocolate creme centered Oreos for the soil.
Cake: My sister made it,
She used the cupcake silicone & just didn't use the top half.. used frosting from the grocery store bakery and had them die it to the color I wanted we got 1lb & it cost around $4?

Lovely party! Are the Burpee cups with fruit the tiny 2.5 inch or the larger 4-5 inch ones? It's hard to tell. Also, do you happen to have any of the beautiful printables around still?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maggie

I am pretty sure they are 2.5" cups I will have to go check on my external hard drive to see about printables.. I couldn't find any on either computers
