my little sister turned 16 this year!! makes me feel so old!
my mom rented out a hall and we threw her a sweet 16! 16 year olds are pretty easy to please. we hired a dj and ordered pizza and put up a few decorations - the hall didnt let us hang anything so it wasn't as decorated as we had planned :(
i went through my mom's boxes and boxes of pictures and narrowed down the cutest and most embarrassing to just enough to fit on 2 boards:
this was my first attempt at a fondant covered cake....
you learn as you go and try really hard not to get frustrated
our theme was obviously black and pink...
and sweet. my mom covered hershey bars with patterned scrap book paper, cut out ;sweet 16' on her cricut and used Stickles to make them sparkly
i really wanted a candy buffet for our wedding but it was way too expensive, so i settled for a much smaller scale one for her party. it's really hard to find black and pink candy! it turned into my obesession for 2 weeks before the party! we ended up using m&m's, dots, good & plenty, sixlets, licorice bites, rock candy, and gum balls
the birthday girl!:
