That little Minx! I had a fantastic "Charlie and the Chocolate birthday party planned for my little ones 6th birthday and she changed her mind just when I had gathered together party supplies and designed the invites! This is what happens when they talk to other children- apparently, some of her gal pals thought that it would be "Too boyish" which, of course, put her off. She then couldn't make up her mind and, over the next week she switched back and forth between ideas.
It's a shame as the games were going to be mega! Oh well, we live but to serve, and managed to settle on a small family gathering, cake and a girls night out just the two of us at the movies. I had a bit of fun designing a simple cake and trying out an icing bag with very basic success. I put most of the issues down to the natural food colouring I used. It seemed a good idea at the time but, the pale colours meant that i needed loads to achieve a sludgy colour which, in turn, thinned the butter cream too much. She loved it though which is all that mattered and I've not been put off trying again another time.
Isn't it always the way? Shame though as your fantastic 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' party sounded amazing! But yes, all that matters is that she enjoyed herself :-) And the cake looks yummy xx
