Red, White and Blue 1st Birthday

I had my baby girls 1st bday on the beach, since her birthday is July 3rd I went for a red, white and blue theme. I tried to adapt it to a birthday and had to do it while we were on vacation for a week at the beach. 

 Since we were traving I didnt get to do everything I wanted, thats ok!
 I kept everything simple. 

I did the Marshmallows from an earlier post HERE and a Berry cake.

I had strawberry oreos and red white and blue keebler chocolate chip cookies and store bought sugar cookies shaped like stars on star plates.

Of course I did my Red, white and blue cupcakes from an earlier post HERE

The table

My favors were in a red and blue blinking stars in a striped bag.

(I didn't get a pic of them in the bag)

Test Kitchen ~Cupcakes

I need to practice my red white an blue cupcakes for Ruby's 1st birthday on the 4th of July! I got my inspiration from Skip to my Lou's post Red, White and Blue Cupcakes.

I didn't practice the frosting, that will be for another day.

I just used Betty Crocker white cake mix added my egg whites then separated the mix into different bowls to add the color. 

I started with a little blue, more white and finished it off with the red. I used a rubber spatula to layer the colors, I was surprised that there was little mess. I was happy with that! :)

They layered perfectly! ..hopefully when I do them for the party it happens again!!

YuM!

The test was a success! and my "tester" thought so too...looks like the dogs are waiting for him to drop some!
