Lilly is ONE!!

Many of you may remember the Pink and Black baby shower I did approximately one year go. You can see it here if not:   http://frostedandfabulous.blogspot.ca/2011/08/baby-shower-chic-pretty-in-pink.html

Well, that baby shower was for my niece and her Mom, McKayla.  Lilly is turning one this weekend and McKayla has decided to throw here a fabulous MINNIE MOUSE themed birthday.  As it was Lilly's 1st birthday, she undertook to plan the entire party on  her own.  I have included a few photos from the party for your viewing pleasure.  What a great job she did!

Frosted & Fabulous created the custom water bottle labels and helped McKayla assembler her amazingly creative centrepieces.

Since McKayla's sister is a awesome baker the cupcakes were already taken care of.  I thought I would do something a little different for my dessert that I was in charge of making.

I found some inspiration online and this dessert was adorably cute and super duper easy!  You may want to try it at your next Disney party.

All you need is two bags of Oreos.  One large bag and mini bag. You will also need some type of frosting or icing for the bow.  I used royal icing but any type of icing can work for the little pink bows.



For piping my icing I used a #2 Tip and some pink Wilton's gel food colouring.


Very gently separate the tops from the bottom of the Oreos.



Place two mini oreos in between the larger oreo and press VERY gently.  Several cookies cracked on me, but that just meant I got to eat them :)








And the end result - cute Minnie Mouse cookies with a kitchen that does not look like a tornado went through it :)
