My Princess Turns 3

My little Lexi bug turned 3 years old! Where does the time go? She is our spoiled little princess, but  you wouldn't know it because she is so polite, caring and loving. Don't get me wrong for a second, girl can drive mommy a little crazy. However, if I can describe her in one word it would
be sensational. She is THAT child that will light up a room with her charm. For her birthday we hosted a party at a local go-cart and family fun center. We only invited a handful of guest. I had envisioned a very large blow out party but decided last minute that a small party with a handful of guest would be best so we could better budget for more important things we have in store for her this year like her dancing, swimming and her soccer classes. We baked about a million cupcakes, and the majority of them I donated to a local shelter that hosts women and children who are victims of domestic violence. I think that meant so much more to me than hosting a "big" party. I am a big fan of cake decor and fondant cakes and I was extremely disappointed in the birthday cake we purchased. I think we were overcharged and the taste was awful. Dont get me wrong, I loved the look. The barbie on top of the cake was a Latina barbie which we thought was so neat however,  If I learned anything about this party and my son's party back in September. I really want to start making my own fondant cakes.
