To celebrate Lola's birthday we had a little party on Sunday up on our roof deck. After a foggy, grey start to the morning the sun eventually came out and we ended up with a glorious sunny day. Good friends, lovely weather, lots of sugar... what more could a 2 year old want?
Lola has been a little obsessed with Mickey Mouse since our trip to Disneyland last month so it was pretty easy to pick a theme for her party. Mickey Mouse ears everywhere! On the cake, the cookies, the cheese platter, the piñata, the guests...
Here's a little look at Lola's special day.
Stay tuned for a few detailed posts about some of the Mickey Mouse goodies I prepared for the day...

ReplyDeleteDid you make the Mickey Mouse cake? If you did, can you give some suggestions for creating my own? Frosting? Cake pans? Etc.?
