A good friend of mine’s husband published a book so I helped her plan a celebration party in LIC. 

Soooo good to see these two!

I had so much fun hanging out with old and new friends at the event. What a fun busy week! More photos to follow…

Guests have arrived!

Shane also got a playdate.

While they are out, I prepared hot chocolate & dessert plates for the cake.

Birthday cake!

Surprise!

LOVED the girls’ reactions when I cut the cake. Totally made my 9 hrs of labor making the cake sooooo worth it!

Came out better than I thought!

Let the good times continue~

We extended the party until 8pm because they were having so much fun. We ended the night with Home Alone 3.
WHAT A FUN DAY.

I prepared brunch for the guests.

Blueberry croissant puff

Spinach & Ham Cheese Puffs

Pear walnut ricotta crostini

Birthday girl!

I’m planning Chloe’s birthday party tomorrow and decided to make her a rainbow cake. 

I didn’t realize I needed several more baking pans and mixing bowls to make 9 different layers of cake so I took out whatever bowls I could use…

Note to self: Need to buy cooling rack.

Looking good, so far…

I had a lot of fun throwing sprinkles to make it stick. 

Ready to party!

With a great help of kids, we painted our dinning room and installed a brand new wallpaper by Ellie Cashman. I had been obsessing over
this dark floral design wallpaper for two years now. I finally pulled the trigger and went for it. I’m very happy with how it turned out!

Church decorations. Done. 🙂

Put together this beautiful arrangements for tonights dinner.

Table is set~

After dinner we came to experience a breathtaking display of more than 7,000 illuminated jack o’ lanterns—all designed and hand-carved on site by the team of artisans. Amazing!
