Lily’s Halloween Party (5th birthday)

Our Halloween party has been and gone

We had a wonderful day – Lily had a fantastic time and thankfully the rain held off long enough for the kids to have a good play outside.

And of course – there was plenty of food!!!!

Starting with the main table…

The creepy butler on the right is my friend’s and the mirror on the left was a gift from my mother-in-law….it looks like a normal mirror and then as you look closer, it starts talking to you! the kids loved it..

The kid’s table..

The cake!

Covered in bright orange buttercream and decorated with fondant bats, ghosts and spiders and with a cauldron topper

Thanks to everyone on my facebook page for their help in finishing off the topper! I had finished the cauldron and asked for advice on whether to make a witch stirring the pot, or to have the witch in the pot!! I was going to have a cat stirring the pot, but I ran out of time to make it.
