Camilla's Birthday - chocolate and turquoise

Here are some images from Camilla's 11th Birthday party. What are fantastic afternoon! Oh and how gorgeous is this home? Super gorgeous I tell you. You should see the artwork on the walls .... to die for. Most importantly though, the family that lives in this house is warm, generous, loving and just as gorgeous as the house itself.

25 eleven year olds full to the eyeballs with chocolate, squealing in absolute delight. The party theme was chocolate so we decided to host a chocolate cupcake decorating party. Each guest was given two cupcakes to decorate after a little demonstration by me.

While this was happening the girls happily sipped on chocolate milk and munched on fresh sushi. So many of the guests commented on how much fun it was decorate their own cupcakes. Many devoured them then and there, others chose to take theirs home to share.

After the decorating was complete, out came a chocolate fountain with fresh strawberries and cherries to dip. OMGoodness, how good where the cherries and chocolate! And what a mess they made. I didn't get any photos of this, but believe me they enjoyed themselves. Some where even drinking the chocolate straight out of the fountain with their stripey straws. Note to self: must try that at Max Brenner next time I'm there.

I'll be back tomorrow to share more photos with you.

The dessert table inspired by Amy Atlas (as always). Thank you Amy.
