Julie Goodwin : She is sweeter than a cookie

It's another celebration day in the household....Katie is 2.

Just as last year, I'm a little obsessed with party blogs and all the Amazing parties people put together. I love trying to recreate my own parties for the kids and this year for Katie, it was a Cookies & Milk party.

The moment I saw a similar party on another blog I knew how perfect it would be for my sweet girl. Katie LOVES cookies and LOVES, LOVES, LOVES milk (donk, as she calls it. yes she can say milk, but she calls it donk anyways) Her favorite milk is chocolate, of course, and every morning she asks for "chocot donk".

I wanted to keep it simple. Just a few types of cookies, a small cake & some other quick simple foods like sandwiches & fruit. To drink out of I really wanted the Oh So Darling milk jars I have seen so much, but to keep this budget friendly, I decided on small mason jars with brown yarn tied around the top.

I must admit, I'm so proud of myself for the cake. Especially since I have never really tried to decorate one. I made chocolate buttercream icing from scratch and made the cake topper & cupcake toppers in photoshop. I have no idea how the professional cake makers do it. As proud as I am for mine, it certainly has its flaws.
