* 83 Organize a party for my parents’ 30 wedding anniversary-Completed July 4, 2008
I am happy to report that the anniversary/July 4th party was a HUGE success. I think everyone had a great time and there was plenty of food, drinks and beautiful weather- no complaints at all. I was really thrilled to be able to have a party for my awesome parents and show them how much they mean to me.
My sister is trying to beat me out as the best baker in the family with her red velvet cupcakes with blue cream cheese frosting and hand picked red, white, and blue sprinkles (yes she picked out those colors from the multi sprinkles- so tedious!) but I think my chocolate cake was pretty popular too. Since her frosting recipe made 8 cups or so I used the leftovers to decorate the anniversary cake. It’s not my best work but it does scream homemade goodness and no one seemed to mind that it didn’t have perfect buttercream roses on it. By the the time I was done assembling the cake, I just didn’t have the energy to doll it up.
So now I am working on reinventing the coleslaw and potato salad leftovers for this week, trying to keep things simple as vacation is less then 2 weeks away which means it is time to get creative with freezer and pantry items! What fun!
