Happy 5th Birthday Makyia!

Here is another one of my sister's amazing birthday parties she put together. I can't take any credit, well maybe a little for the cupcakes, but she is the master mind behind it all.
The Trolls theme was very fun, bright and yummy!!
This was the take home gift section (my sisters favorite part) She always has really fun gifts for the kids to make and to choose from. I love her creative brain. She works on this stuff for months. 
Speaking of "Life being all cupcakes and rainbows"...
My mom and I made these.
 
 We colored the frosting, purple, pink and blue. We added the 3 colors to a piping bag being careful to keep each color on its own side of the bag and then squeezed it out until we saw 3 colors. We used a 1M tip to swirl onto the cupcakes. For the rainbows we used the blue frosting as the base, we cut a slit into the cupcake where the rainbow candy will go and then gently push it into the cupcake. They don't always stay in an arch but that was ok with us. Then you pipe on the white clouds using a small star tip. You could use mini marshmallows as well.
The Vegas heat in June made the cupcakes a little melty but I think the cream cheese frosting (8 oz. cream cheese softened, 1/2 cup butter softened, 1 tsp. vanilla, 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar) is yummy no matter how it looks. 
I think Linc agrees with that!!
We did 2 chocolate fountains with pink and blue chocolate melts.
Hug time!
We served pizza at Lady Glitter Sparkles and King Gristles Pizza Parlor. 
This was the best picture I could find of the adorable Lady Glitter Sparkles piƱata she made. Seriously that hair is so awesome!
Here is the fantastic photo booth she created! She even had color hairspray for the kids to create their own Troll hair.  So fun! 
Happy Birthday Makyia!
