So this is what all the planning was for-I organised a tea party with cupcake decorating for my little girl-and it took sooo much organising!

Basically, the idea was that her and 8 of her friends get the chance to go mad with sugarpaste, buttercream and sprinkles and then take their creations home in a personalised gift box.

The colour scheme was light blue, lilac and pink and the theme was butterflies..so no surprises with the girly theme then :)

We made all decorations to match this and even cut the sandwiches into butterfly shapes.

For refreshements we had fruit skewers, popcorn, heart and butterfly sandwiches, iced biscuits and of course-mini muffins.

I LOVED the way the pompoms turned out. The how-to on these can be found here:http://www.marthastewart.com/how-to/tissue-paper-pom-poms-how-to

We served juice in the tea pot and mini cups which the girlies loved
