Party Prep

 

We did party prep yesterday.  We had lots of fun.   Made chocolate bowls.   She recently switched from only liking frosting, to only liking cake.   But, there was never a stage in the middle when she liked both.  (sigh)    So, I am making triple chocolate cupcakes.   I'll make some without frosting, some with white cream cheese frosting since many kids avoid food colorings, and Tatiana requested some with the palest pink frosting.   She wants to supervise the dyeing of the frosting.   Last night, after the store closed, I looked for the powdered sugar that I was sure I had, and didn't find it.  So, I'll be making frosting in a bit.  I'd bought these silicone molds to make small chocolate candies.   Will decorate the cupcakes with them.  There was leftover melted chocolate, so Tatiana dunked some strawberries in the chocolate.    She declared that the strawberries were for the kids only.   I laughed and told her No, the adults would love the strawberries.  There was lots of chocolate eaten yesterday.   I told her that she might need to go on a chocolate detox after the party.  

She decided to wear her Pandacorn shirt to the parties.  She even washed it yesterday.   I suggested maybe a nice dress.   She said No.    In one day she went from only wearing dresses, to only wearing pants.   Dresses were so cute and easy.
