Fabulous Fashionista

 Table for 8 celebrated another members milestone birthday! Sandy's theme was "Fashionista" with hot pink and zebra prints. It was hosted at Suzie's beautiful home and as guests arrived they were greeted with Cosmos cocktails and a trip to the photo booth to have a picture with the birthday girl.

 Each hostess brought an appetizer for guests to enjoy and I made the birthday cake and cupcakes.


 I put together all of the flower arrangements.
 It was the first time I ever made or worked with gum paste and I made these flowers just a few hours before the party. Not the best time to try a new technique!



 Since it was a fashionista party, we broke the guests up into groups and had them design toilet paper fashions. One late entry was a friend of Suzies son who had crashed the party. The winning team won a pair of hot pink opera gloves.



 Belinda did a reading from a friendship tea book and others shared their love for Sandy.  We had a champagne toast and enjoyed some French vanilla cake with chocolate fill. Guests went home with the photo of themselves and Sandy in a zebra printed frame and a special thank you gift from Sandy.
