The Circus Party has come and gone, and I think it was a big hit. O had two volumes on party day--loud and PARTY LOUD! She was pretty excited. The house was decorated with the usual circus type things-balloons, clown clothes and wigs, and a great circus tent (courtesy of Grandma and Papa). The food was cotton candy, popcorn, a cracker jack snack, chocolate covered pretzels, and some grapes (not so circusy, but I had to offer at least something a little healthy). My favorite part was the clown cupcakes as seen in the picture. That's a marshmallow head, with chocolate sprinkles for eyes, a cut gumdrop for a nose, gumdrop hat, and icing decorations. I used buttercream because it keeps its shape a bit better than the icing I usually make. The favors were popcorn bags with cotton candy and clown noses inside. I have to learn to take better pictures, I think this stuff was a lot cuter in person.
Blog fans (i.e. my parents, J and A) get excited for this weekend. Husband is finally home and I am going to spend some time downstairs in my craft area! Many projects in the hopper.
