Princess Party with a Castle Cake
Lighting the 3 birthday candles
Before we had cake and ice cream, the guests did some arts and crafts. The girls first decorated a wooden princess crown that was on a stick that I found at the Dollar Tree. Here is our daughter painting her crown before sprinkling glitter on it:
Then in the cake decoration section at Wal-Mart, I stumbled upon these great edible rings (that were on clearance) with edible ink markers that the girls decorated, then ate! Wilton makes these rings and they were a hit!
After having a royal dinner of hot dogs, chips and fruit and eating cake and ice cream, our princess enjoyed opening her gifts. Then each guest received a princess treat bag filled with a wand, candy jewelry, princess juicy snacks, princess silly bands, and a tube filled with a lollipop and a couple of pieces of candy jewelry.
The tube (empty toilet paper tube) is in the left side of the bag covered with pink paper. Here is how I made this great and easy craft that can be used for any occasion/holiday:
I cut a sheet of tissue paper in half and filled the tube with the treats.
The I rolled the tube up with the paper
Finally, I tied the ends with a shiny curly ribbon and placed a sticker in the middle then put each one in the treat bags. So cute and easy!
Our daughter and our family and friends had a great time celebrating another special occasion in our family's life!

Thanks Melissa! The most difficult part of making this cake was making sure the cake didn't cave in all the way when I stuck the ice cream cones in upside down! :0
