Five and FANCY !

Madison’s Birthday was NOT celebrated with a “party”, it was a SOIREE! I  made the invitations and mailed them out three weeks in advance. INVITE MADDIE for blog

One of Madison’s favorite books is “Fancy Nancy” by  Jane O’Connor. If you are not familiar with these books, they are precious!  To “Nancy” the fancier the better!  Our goal was all things “Fancy”!

The table was set with Hot Pink and plenty of ‘Fancy” extras! (I glued rhinestones on all the plastic flatware…)

A hot pink Eiffel Tower of course!   I even found Eiffel Tower cups!  Now how cute are those??

I made a beautiful crown for the Birthday Girl!

The trimmings were POSH down to the last detail! (That’s “fancy” for FANCY!)

There were different “stations” for the girls to visit:

Our special boutique where they received pearls and a feather boa. And they had their picture done in the “Fancy” chair once they were all “fancied” up!

My hairdresser came and gave the girls all “fancy” up-doo’s complete with glitter and topped off with a tiara!IMG_4365

Don’t they just look adorable !  They were all so still getting their hair done!

We had a station for make-up and face paint as well as manicures and fancy nail charms!

The last station was “La Posh Patisserie” where they decorated a tiara shaped cookie.  They loved this and working with all the “fancy” sprinkles & sparkling sugars!

And what Patisserie would be complete without CAKE!  And CUPCAKES!IMG_4299

 Each one of the toppers was hand made from fondant.  The cake is covered with home made marshmallow fondant.  I had a blast making these!
