Carissa's Birthday Party

Carissa turned 12 on August 29th. I made her a layer cake that she wanted for her birthday. It was a chocolate cake, with whip cream in the middle and with homemade chocolate frosting.

I make the frosting from organic sugar. I put the organic sugar in the vita mix (dry container) and blend it until it becomes powder sugar. It's that easy. I love what the vita mix can do. No need to have the juicier or blender anymore.




Carissa wanted me to make this old fashioned dress for her. She wore the dress to her birthday tea party.


She asked to have her party here. This the same tea house that she went last year for her birthday.



Twelve of Carissa's friends showed up to the party. The girls had fun in a room to themselves. Many of the girls wore hats and shawls.

Here is Carissa opening up one of her gifts. She received many nice things. Everyone had a good time. The girls even went outside and swung on the tree swing.
