Summer turns 18!

 

Being Two is tough work for this wee one as behind the scenes is a noisy new born brother!

 

Looking adorable comes easy...especially with those big eyes & eyelashes!

 

However, the 6th April 2014 is a big day for her as she is turning 18!

 

 

 

I love to bake - so out came the cookbook.

 

 

 

Never one for waiting for surprises - Summer takes a peek!

 

 

Summer loves all things pink & Ballet, so it wasn't hard to decide on what direction

I was going to take with decorating the cake.

I thought the vintage roses would be a nice touch as since she is turning 18 - fresh

flowers from The Country Providore would 'grow the cake up' so to speak.

 

 

 

 

I thought Raspberry & White Chocolate Icing would look great with the colour scheme -

not too mention great flavour!

The name of the roses where 'Old Dutch' & looked great with the vintage little

ballerina decorations I found at a local shop.

The pink balls around the edge of the cake were in actual fact - scorched almonds.

They were coated in this amazing pink metallic coating!

I found these also at a speciality lolly store in town.

 

 

The cute little 'Happy Birthday' bunting came from a giftware sale that I had saved.

 

 

 

Our 'big girl' at 18!

 

Happy Birthday Summer xx
