Cake Party!

She loves Food Network and wanted nothing more than to have a cake party for her birthday!


My mother and I cooked up single layered cakes and had them on single plastic plates (they came packaged at the Dollar Tree for 2 or 4/$1.) Each guest iced their own cake, decorated it and took it home along with their aprons.


The day before I went to sewing up aprons for each of the guest chef's.

-I bought a yard each of a few different fun fabrics (I got $1/yard value fabrics at Walmart).
-Sketched out a super simple apron shape onto parchment paper.
-Folded the yards in half.
-pinned the "pattern" to the folded yard.
-cut out the aprons.
-Sewed simple folded seam around the edges, added ribbon for around the neck, added ruffle at the bottom.
-Done!


The parties can be really "fancied up" but we loved the easy flow and relaxed feeling of the simplified version. The time went fast and it was just super fun!
