Paityn’s {1st birthday} Pink Party

I’m finally rummaging through photos from Paityn’s birthday party.  My camera is on its last leg and gave me such fits on her party day.  I kept having to stop and turn the camera off, eject the battery, replace it and then turn it back on.  All while trying to get a one-year-old to hold a pose.  How well do you think that worked??

Here is her lovely pink party in all its glory.

This Instagram display was just some thick ribbon glued to an empty frame.  I printed the photos from printstagram.  (By the way, I loved them, much better than postal pix.)

 This cake was such a labor of love.  It took my close to three hours total.  Honestly, the rose icing was pretty easy, it was the actual cake that was tough.  I used this scratch strawberry cake recipe and if you’re interested, here’s the icing tutorial I used.

Girlfriend loved eating the cake!

This is the best we could do getting a picture of the birthday girl with her parents.  Her attention is always elsewhere.

Love that sweet baby girl!
