Those are some awesome cake holders you used!

That's a lot of cake, and a lot of smiling girls. Well done =D

Janell, the local grocery store (Smiths) bakery department sold them to me, a steal at .20 each (base, cardboard round, lid included). I'll be returning the overpriced cardboard rounds (.40 each) that i got at the Orson Gigi restaurant supply store (which didn't have anything like a box for them to carry them home in.)

Looks like a party! Wish I could have been there!

Wow, what a fun b day! 14? really? I am going to guess your not baking a cake any time soon. :)

Blue said...

Tif, I wish! But actually, I'm bringing the dessert for the party with extended family this weekend. It's going to be fun. I'm no Bakerella, but maybe I'm Bluerella! ;-)

Amazing! And exhausting! Hats off to you, Blue! And I recognize most of those sweet girls.

All hail Smiths! Although I'm not good at it, I always feel the wrapping of a gift, in this case a cake, is almost as fun as the contents. Very nice presentation and what a fun party. Next year, one thought... cupcakes. :)
