Cake toppers (not my original idea).
Emily requested chocolate cupcakes. I used this recipe from Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook.
And I used this chocolate frosting recipe. Warning: This much chocolate requires a healthy dose of milk… which we had.
I made Emily a special birthday skirt (and a matching one for her doll… who she named “Aurora,” by the way), and I appliqued a shirt for her.
Her party was at the dance studio where she takes “pre-dance” class. And with plenty of friends, dancing, laughing, cupcake-eating, fancy-necklace-wearing, scarf-waving, and tip-toe-walking, I’d say it was a success!

Oh, she most definitely loves Sleeping Beauty! :)

I love Sleeping Beauty too! I wanted to name our daughter Aurora, but I’m not sure the hubby will go for it….

It looks like she had such a lovely birthday! Such a lucky girl to have such a crafty mama! ;) (Clara really likes the picture of Emily in her tutu and necklaces….”wow, she looks like a ballerina!” Oh, and she also declared that she needs that pink shirt with the bird on it. It is such a cute outfit…I may have to copy you and make a similar one for her!)
