Princess Baking Party

Halle Kate and I went to the most fun birthday party tonight. A girl in her class turned 4 and had a party at Pink Pastry Parlor. It was one fun night!

Be ready to be shocked. The invitation was pink, had princesses all over it and HK still wanted to go. She even dressed herself in a dress and bow.

When we got there the girls got to jump on a big bed and have a pillow fight. At first they all looked nervously at us moms like “are you sure we’re not going to get in trouble?”. Once we’d given them permission they were all giggles and bounces. And all us mamas had huge smiles watching them have so much fun.

After they jumped for a while we went into a room where, with the help of a pink employee, every two girls made a batch of cupcakes. They were so excited.

Once the batter was in the oven they got to make their own icing. Pretty much every girl chose pink or purple….except HK who wanted “green like slime”. That’s my girl! She also was more than happy to sample her icing. They were some sugared up girls by the time we brought them home!

While the cupcakes baked the girls went to dance on the runway. At first they were all very shy.

Poor HK. Do you see her in the picture below? Yep, that’s my peanut with the hat that kept falling over her head. I finally took it away. All these girls are together in class at preschool. HK is not the youngest but she sure is the smallest.

Once the music cranked up the pink employees helped teach them a dance.

And then HK showed her true colors. See her jumping in the picture below? By the time Justin Beiber was done singing “baby baby” Halle Kate had danced and jumped so much that her tights fell all the way around her ankles. I was videoing and you can hear me say “her Daddy will be so proud” as another mom pulled them up for her. Many of the other girls eventually warmed up and danced but HK stole the show. She was wild! Several parents commented that “she sure knew that song” and I had to tell them that no, she’d never heard a Beiber song before. She’s just that wild!

Once the dancing was over we went into another room for a tea party and dinner. There were sandwiches, fruit, veggies, chips, brownies and marshmallows. HK’s plate ended up with brownies and marshmallows. Again, sugar rush!

The birthday girl had a huge Barbie cake and a cupcake tower. The girls ate cake and when they finished the cupcakes were out of the oven.

Time for icing! Each girl got 3 cupcakes to ice and then we packed them up to bring home….along with another cupcake from the tower. It’s a shame sugar isn’t a food group!

Halle Kate was very proud of her green slime creations!

After cupcakes we headed into another room with doll houses and TVs. My child found a punching bag and stayed there beating it while everyone else cheered her on. She has seen me wearing gloves/doing that in a class at the gym and was very proud to get to try herself.

At the end all the girls sat down for a picture together. They were shown how to cross their legs and sit up straight but that lesson didn’t stick!

Honestly, I wasn’t very excited about going but we had such a fun time. I think as a parent if your baby girl is having fun then you’re having fun! I know both of my girls would love a party there, especially Matney. I went to the front desk to ask about parties before we left. Ummmmm, holy smokes! The smallest size you can have is 7 children for this party. Which costs……wait for it…..grab your water so you don’t choke…..$700. Yep, $100 per kid for the first 7 kids and then $66 per child more than 7. So, in case you wondered, no, you will not be getting an invite to a party here from us EVER. If you’d like to throw a party for your child here pretty please invite ours because they’d love to come!
