Mackenzie's Birthday

 

After school on Friday, Sept. 17, Mackenzie helped make the cupcakes for her “cupcake decorating” birthday party the next day. Emma and I made yellow cake earlier in the day then, she and Jayten went to stay with Grandma Carla and Grandpa Mark, so we could have some Momma/Mackenzie time. We baked fresh strawberry and chocolate cupcakes. You got to stay up late that night. You helped get all the sprinkles and toppings organized. You were especially excited about the fondant and the little cookie cutters to use with it. I surprised you in the morning with one more flavor of cupcake-Orange Creamsicle! We made cream cheese, vanilla buttercream and chocolate buttercream. You invited 7 friends because you were turning 7 years old. Each of you decorated 7 cupcakes, one to eat at the party and six to take home. Once everyone arrived, you decorated your own cake boxes to carry your cupcakes. Everyone also received a chef’s apron to keep. You all had fun deciding what you might call a bakery if you had one. After your boxes were ready, it was time for the cupcakes. You all went to town on, using frosting, sprinkles, colored spray, chocolate chips, toffee bits, crushed Oreos, gummy worms and more. You created some very colorful cupcakes! Your friends Madison, Hannah,
Diego, Myah, Sarah and Gracie came. Chanler was unable to attend. After the cupcakes were finished, you opened presents, then had a pizza picnic out in the backyard. You spent the rest of the time
playing outside and in your room with your friends, then enjoyed a cupcake at the end of the party. You really enjoyedplaying at with the end and had some nice one-on-one time with your friends. You received a Barbie Repunzel Horse,Fancy Nancy Cupcake book, horse stickers, Easy Bake Oven
Mix, Pixos, Activity book and crafts, Furry Friends and a Glamour Barbie.
