Baking Party!

For Lexi's 6th Birthday party, she wanted a baking party.
On the menu to prepare: Cupcakes and Sugar Cookies!

 
The girls helped mix the frosting (all 5 colors!), mix the cupcake batter, pour it into the pans, roll and cut the cookies,
and of course....
decorate them all!!!

 
Can you see the frosting ring around her mouth? 
She just couldn't refrain from sampling the goods.

 
Lexi's Kindergarten teacher Ms. Moore joined in on the fun.
It was amazing.... She never left Lexi's side. 
They have built such an incredible relationship, that she offered to tutor Lexi after school next year,
because "she would miss her so much".
I think it's very sweet!!!

SPRINKLES!!!

 
All the girls were able to decorate 6 cupcakes and as many cookies as they wanted.
4 of the cupcakes were placed in a take-home bakery box,
complete with a bow to take home.
The other 2 were added to a cake board to become Lexi's birthday cake.
In my opinion...
It turned out adorable!!!

 
As something extra to do, the kids played 
"Pin the Candle on the Cake".
I love watching their excitement over being blindfolded to paste something on a sign.
I wish we could bottle that kind of simple joy!

 
Party favors: A personalized apron, a baker's hat, their own cake bag with various decorating tips, a recipe, a set of mini spatulas, their decorated cupcakes and cookies, and finally...
A baking box filled with baking themed favors such as:
a blank "recipe book", stickers, lip gloss, and body glitter.

(What more does a girl need???)

I was surprised about one thing though...
After decorating all these treats, 
they hardly wanted to eat any!!!
