I plan to bake the cake using the Pampered Chef batter bowl. It is the perfect round shape and they even have a 'recipe' on their website. But it says to make 2 cake mixes and bake separately. Then I re-read your post and found that you also made 2 cakes. Is this necessary? That seems like a lot of cake for a small party. Can you tell that I usually do cupcakes for my kids' parties? I can't picture how I would use 2 round cakes to make Barbie's ball gown!angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688991209865856563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-6260947765611201342011-09-08T21:42:52.816-04:002011-09-08T21:42:52.816-04:00Guess what??

I looked back at this post to refresh my memory of some of the ideas I plan to steal! Do you still have any of the silhouettes that you could scan for me? I'm having trouble free-handing the vintage look logo. Target used to use that logo on their aisle markers, but no longer.angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688991209865856563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-44539240838328088292010-11-06T19:41:58.586-04:002010-11-06T19:41:58.586-04:00Monica, the party looks fabulous!

They dress up very nicely with a doily and some ribbon. You always do greatly creative things! Your ability to turn random items into beautifully hand-crafted treasures is truly God's gifting.

My name is Barbara and people wanted to call me Barbie, but my mom would not allow them - - my brother's name is Ken. Yes, it's true :-) Surprisingly though, we did not get teased.barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939700227013533301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-14430028396436849182010-11-05T10:14:33.642-04:002010-11-05T10:14:33.642-04:00The cake is beautiful!

My daughter has all of my old Barbie things, as well. If you pick and choose the accessories/clothes, it can be great fun. I had the Barbie hot tub when I was little and it's one of my favorites of my seven year old! It's amazing at all of the new versions of the old toys they have. My mother told me a story of my father and my grandfather staying up until 3am on Christmas Eve putting together the Barbie townhouse because they couldn't get the elevator to work. You'll never guess what's on my daughters list this year: The all-new townhouse! Barbies and American Girl dolls are two favorites here among the girls. <br />I love all of your projects for the party! And those cakes are $65 here...so kudos to you for making your own!!MrsCoachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18235764226620788111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-45437965451261462552010-11-04T15:27:09.890-04:002010-11-04T15:27:09.890-04:00Wonderful Monica...

They are also homeschooled and sing for Jesus :)haha...

I also really like the idea of limiting the birthday budget. $50 seems like a good amount that would give you enough money to do some fun things with, but not going overboard. You are so creative. I hope my kids will have such cool parties one day. (Right now I just have a boy, so I don't think the classic barbie idea will go over well for him.) And the photo corner is a great idea.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07821592360402715054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-33481720960341049432010-11-04T10:20:37.236-04:002010-11-04T10:20:37.236-04:00I think it turned out wonderfully.
