Bonne Fête Hailey!!

I believe my nieces would have loved these particular creations. Why? Because they're pink! (Most of them anyway.) The main request I had when I was designing these with the Birthday Girl's Mum was that she was a "girly girl" so could I include pink and purple. No problem. I instantly imagined designs involving bright pink, and happy purple, polka dots, flowers, sprinkles and other happy girly designs. There was also a request that the three boys at the party be catered for, so they got blue and green designed with shooting stars.
Not only was I making cakepops for the birthday girl, but her Mum also wanted a bigger cake to go with them. (First time for everything!) So again, I went with the pink, happy theme. I went with a pink butter cream, and to be honest all I could imagine when I was smearing this over the cake was "pink elephant". Don't ask me why, but but it's just what I thought this colour represented. I then topped it off with fondant polka dots in the cakepop colours.
I hope the Birthday day girl enjoys her treats, and bowls a strike at her party!!
The cake pops, drying. These are chocolate centres. There are 6 dipped in pink with purple flowers and 5 diped in purple with pink flowers. For the boys, all three were dipped in blue with green designs. I did shooting stars all three with different trails after their stars. All 14 were finished off with sugar pearls for a bit of class!
All wrapped up with their tags that read "Bonne Fête Hailey". The paper looks orange, but it's really flourescent pink.
My first order for a big cake! Chocolate also, with lots of polka dots in the same colours as the cake pops.
