Two down, one to go.  My first and youngest children’s birthdays are eight days apart, so when it comes to celebrating, it gets crazy around here.  Thankfully, I have until March till the next one.  Anyway, back to the party. My oldest daughter wanted to have a Salon Party.  To make it a little more fun, we had the girls come in their pajamas.  

I had four different stations set up.  One for nails, one for friendship bracelets, and the others for bling strands and hair styling. Gratefully, I have two friends that know how to put in color strands and can also do hair.

I purchased colored hair styling glue and strands at a beauty supply store.  All the girls had a blast with it!  As the girls waited to get their hair done, they painted their nails and made  Friendship Bracelets we have shared on our site.

Now in the interest of honesty, I’ll share with you my highs and lows.  I was “attempting” to make a zebra cake that I had seen on Pinterest. I assumed I knew everything about how to make the cake by simply looking at the picture and NOT reading the instructions, I just “went for it”.  I was, of course, on a time crunch. Failure? No.  Looked like a zebra?  Sort of.

Luckily, children are VERY forgiving when it comes to cake. They thought it looked like a Zebra.  I’m assuming none of them have been on Pinterest lately.( Or maybe even seen a real zebra.)

Now onto the high.  I ended up decorating the cake and cupcakes with an easy Jello frosting recipe that only has four ingredients.  Coleen posted this icing on her blog.  It was AMAZING.  It was YUMMY. It was WORKABLE and I LOVED it!  The cake was white vanilla and dark fudge chocolate so I used a strawberry Jello.  I will defiantly be using this again.  You can access that recipe by clicking here.  You will be happy you did!
