Ok, today's post is of LuLu's B-Day party on Sun.
Beware: Lots of pics!!
Laci's latest obsessions are w/peace signs & dolphins.
So, she decided she wanted a peace party.
I went online to find the paper products.
I ended up finding this set that was called Hippie Chick, they were adorable.
Of course I forgot to take a pic, but the main colors were brown, pale lime green & pink.
Next I started to think about what I was going to do for her cake.
I wanted to somehow incorporate all 3 colors.
I came up w/this:
I would do one layer chocolate & the other strawberry w/green frosting in between them.

I wanted to somehow incorporate all 3 colors.
I came up w/this:
I would do one layer chocolate & the other strawberry w/green frosting in between them.
First I baked the chocolate layer.
Once it was cooled I frosted the top w/the green frosting.
Once it was cooled I frosted the top w/the green frosting.
Then baked the strawberry layer.
Once it was cooled added it to the top.
This is where I got to pre-occupied & forgot to take pics of the rest of the process.
Next, I frosted the side of the cake w/brown frosting.
Then the top w/the green frosting.
I then, as you can see, did the peace sign & around the bottom of the cake in pink.
And, 3 hours later.....

And LuLu loved it!
