It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but rest assured I’m back. I’ve been busy cooking and entertaining and am gearing up for Summer so I have lots in store. I figured the best post to start off with again was my daughter’s first birthday party. It represents why I’ve been so busy.  I’ve been enjoying my time with her and settling into my new home!

As always, when I’m planning a party I make long list of everything that needs to be done, recipe/grocery list, and I decide what can be made ahead of time. This saves me a lot of stress the days leading up to an event!

Bruschetta with a classic tomato topping

Water cupcakes – chocolate cupcakes and I used Wilton’s Royal Blue gel color.

Duck shaped ice cream bars – strawberry and chocolate

To give you an idea of how I organize things I’ve decided to show you my schedule leading up to the party. Throughout the week I would make a batch of ice cream and pour it into a glass casserole dish. The following day I would cut it into duck shapes. I could do this ahead of time and free up my stand mixer for the weekend.

Friday

Bake cake, make pepper stuffing, make ice cream.

Saturday

Decorate cake, bake cupcakes, make Drip Beef, make pasta salad, stuff peppers.

Sunday

Ice cupcakes, slice veggies, make duck pizzas by using a cookie cutter, make dip, and toast bread for bruschetta and sliders. Party time! It should be noted that my mother-in-law made the stuffed mushrooms so I didn’t have to make those!
