Betsy Birthday Party

Child's Name: Betsy
Child's Age: 5
Location: our home, Saint Louis, MO
Description: The theme was 'apples' in turquoise and green. Betsy is the 'apple of our eye'. I made several things for this party, including, pennant bunting, Betsy's party dress, the invitations and thank you notes. But the thing I am most proud of is the apple shaped cake balls used for favors, and the two tiered caramel apple cake I made. It was the first tiered cake I attempted and it looked just the way I envisioned and tasted great, too! Submitted by : Beth Grebe
Project Details:
I purchased most of the supplies from my local Hobby Lobby, and party store.
I bought the custom made fondant apples on the homemade cake from etsy shop Clineff's Confections.

I love Bakerella, and saw some apple shaped cake pops she had made. I tweeked them a bit to fit the color scheme of the party.

Advice:
Choose one or two colors. Even if they aren't realistic to the theme. It's something unexpected and makes decorating much easier. Make a list! Tackle things that can get done ahead of time a couple of weeks before so that the week of the party you can focus on set-up and the food. Then, BREATHE! Try and enjoy all of your hard work!
