OMFG Cinnamon rolls


Cinnamon roll recipe is found HERE. Here is the picture of the finished product. The recipe turned out REALLY GOOD and they tasted devine! It was so good that we had to take a break from it because they are REALLY SWEET!! It was really good and we shared with the locals. We await their response or call from the hospital for sugar overdose. This is because they are not used to sweet things here in Poland.






All in all a Great recipe. :) The only modification to the recipe is that I used Dark Molasses Brown Sugar rather than regular. Makes for a richer flavor. Not like these needed it tough. :)

Alice in Wonderland themed decorations


This is the table with decorations. Notice the heart plates, napkins and the outline of roses

I scanned a regular playing card and enlarged it with the printer. The crape paper adds to the color to the decor.

A character banner

The inside of the 3 layered cake. YUM!

Get the spirit and dress up! Mad Hatter, Queen of hearts and Alice

Drink me juice bottles. BIG HIT with the kids. You can even write the kid's name on it so they don't loose their juice too!

A view of the whole table

Party hats

The invitations. What? You can't read it. Oh yeah it's in Polish. :)

Personalized gift bags saying thank you filled with yummy goodies and prizes

The decorations. Notice the hand-made tissue paper roses.

A closeup of the roses. I attached the roses to a length of twine to achieve a cascading effect. Came out rather nicely if I say so myself, don't you think so?

Happy Birthday sign of course

The mobile. Got the idea from the website thelongthread.

Eat Me cookies. I didn't know if the thirteen year old girl inside of me would allow me to write that on the cookies, but the polish kids didn't seem to get it. So it was my own private joke.
