Lilia wanted to have a chef party for her birthday this year. Together we came up with a plan to allow that to happen.
And being the chef that she is, she insisted on making her own birthday cake. This cake was delicious! It was a homemade vanilla cake recipe with a chocolate buttercream frosting and a layer of concentrated pudding in between.
She decided to teach them to make her first favorite recipe which was pumpkin muffins into little bread loaves so they could each take it home. They donned their own little aprons (I love bulk purchases on amazon!) and she put them to work delivering instructions. As they were waiting to take their turn with ingredients, they copied the recipe onto little recipe cards.
The bread was a hit, as was the birthday cake. She made a haul in swedish fish and got lots of cute little gifts. Jaedyn bought her some art stuff and Ebony bought here shell necklace. McKinley bought her some yarn for her craft and Mom/Dad bought her some new basketball shoes, a world map, and some boondoggle crafts.
We had a large nacho bar...
Some of her friends stayed for a while after the party ended. They played basketball in the driveway and make chalk outlines in the driveway as if someone had died. Lilia has a large group of good friends and it has been fun to watch them change so much in the last year!
Happy Birthday Lilia!
