A Birthday Party-

brought to you by a firstborn over achiever

We held the girls birthday party on Saturday, because it's the weekend (duh!) and we had out of town family coming to the party. As I mentioned before we were going with a rainbow theme. I thought it would be cheap and easy. Buy some colorful balloons, the cheapest plates, utensils and napkins from the party store, have it catered to keep it easy on myself. Well, then it happened my firstbornedness(new word just go with it) flared up and I needed to do something over the top.



And then I saw this-




I originally found the recipe here and I thank Amanda for sharing it with the unknown masses. And then of course to kick it up a notch rather than put the layers together with frosting I made and used pastry cream.

Oh, wait it gets better. I made rainbow cupcakes

and filled them with pastry cream too.

I am an overachiever and I need help. A simple easy peasy party turned into 4 days of preparation, sometimes I seriously annoy myself. Oh! but the cake was so moist and the cream cheese frosting divine.

Enough about me already. On to the party--

Coralee, Uncle Buddy (my brother) and Brennan

Coralee (a little excited)
Brennan (just as excited as sissy)

It's messy..

What? Messy? It's delicious

MMMMMMMmmm!

Coralee didn't like getting messy, so she pretended she was bobbing for apples cupcake.
