no more cupcakes, please....

Today's fairy disco party signals the end of cupcake month at my house.
Seriously, I could  whip up a perfectly acceptable batch of cupcakes, iced and decorated within an inch of their sweet little lives, blindfolded and  with both hands tied behind my back.
All done whilst singing Wuthering Heights loudly and tunefully.
(Ok, maybe not tunefully but definitely loudly and with feeling and that's what counts. You hear what I'm saying, girlfriend? Just ask Marsha.)
Anyway ,the party was a lot of fun- relaxed, plenty of food( including cupcakes)  and fine weather, music loud and fairy- disco like.What more could a three year old ask for?

A fairy disco cake ,of course!
This one almost beat me- all week I've been trying to work out how to decorate the cake with very little progress. At 8pm last night, the cake was baked and ready to be transformed- but into what?
Finally,inspiration!
Fairy disco equals fairy disco wands- bit of glitter, a few stars and a quick hunt through Rose's fairy collection. Rose whipped up a few paddle pop stick flowers and helped add the finishing touches with silver balls and sugar flowers.
Charlie seemed most happy with the result and I am now hanging up the apron and putting on the painting smock to finish my canvases for the Spring Fair.

(Actually, I think I might just can the painting for tonight and watch some junk TV with a glass of wine instead. I'm all domestic godess/superschool mummed out...)

Speaking of fairies,we had our first visit from the tooth collecting variety last night.
Rose, much to her delight lost her first tiny bottom tooth yesterday.She's been checking her teeth for wobbly ones ever since she started kindy and most of her classmates started losing their teeth.

Now I guess I  have about three more years of Charlie telling me everyday that she thinks she has wobbly 'teef" as well.
As long as my teeth don't start falling out from eating too many cupcakes, that's fine with me!

ps- my family thanks everyone for their song suggestions. I think they will be quite happy to hear just a little less of   "'wuthering,wuthering,wuthering- heights, Heathcliff...."

Hi - I really enjoyed hearing your latest slice of life. I love your 'domestic goddess/supermummed out' phrase it makes me think how we are all running in our own separate little hamster wheels. Great fairy disco concept.

That is the best fairy disco cake I have ever seen. Fantastic! Now I have a theme for my next party :)

[Violet & Rose]

Glad it all went off without a hitch. Great cake, great party girl. I meant to say last time, that a great follow on song for Wuthering Heights is "Babushka". "Ay, yi, Babushka, Babushka, Babushka, yi, yi."

Your daughters are so gorgeous and the fairy disco party sounds like it was a huge success! Charlie looks so happy with the cake. Hope you enjoyed your much deserved veg-out night of junk tv :-)
