Cali chose a Mermaid theme for her birthday this year! She has also fallen in love with the color turquise, so I thought it was perfect!
I designed this invitation for her mermaid party and sent them around to her friends and then changed the time to 7:00 and gave those to family. Yes, we did 2 parties in one day! Alot of work, but at least I didn't have to decorate twice, and yes I would!!
The cake alone was quite the adventure! I have never done a cake before, let alone used fondant! I know, I'm crazy! Needless to say it took me an entire day and into the evening to make this masterpiece! I found the inspiration from bubblynaturecreations.com and the tutorial from bubbleandsweet.blogspot.com. I made the ruffles out of fondant and yes, I colored each layer separately so it got darker as it went down. What a pain! Haha! The topping is graham cracker I put through my food processor. I got the pearls (white sixlets) from Zurchers and Cali and I made the chocolate seashells with a candy mold. She loved helping out!
The inside was also colored turquise! And it tasted so good too!
The goodie table
Cali and I made some Mermaid posters and fishies to hang all over
I made chocolate cupcakes with a turquise buttercream frosting topped with our candy seashells we made :) YUM!
I made the kids Cali's favorite, PB&J shaped like fishies! And of course Cali's favorite snack to go with it, GOLDFISH!
I also made a blue jello fishbowl with sweedish fish swimming around in it! Didn't quite turn out like I wanted, but it was still fun!
I LOOOve Candy! A party isn't a party witout CANDY! We have blue gumballs, turquise jelly bellys, and turquise and white sixlets!
We made some seaweed with streamers and bubbles with opaly-white balloons
The kids jumping in the fishbowl tramp
and fishing in the pool!
I also made Cali a fishtail mermaid tutu skirt with toole
Blowing out the candles!
Happy 5th Birthday, LOVE!

Cami, I think the changing colors on the ruffles on the cake turned out cute....sometimes as you go deeper in the water it can be a darker color, at least that's what I thought I've heard.....soooo cute!!!!
It surely seems like an amazing party. Great choice of theme, and I loved how there was so much blue everywhere, as it’s my favorite color too. You put up a lovely party I must say. I’m also hoping to organize an enjoyable party for my son’s birthday next week, and have also found a suitable party venue for the event.
