Happy Birthday Karma!

It is hard to believe that my little princess is 4 today. Wow time has really flown by. This year for her birthday we had a princess party at our house for her. We played games and we did a little craft. Karma had lots of fun and is already talking about what we are going to do next year for her birthday party.

This is the castle cake that I made for her birthday. She was really excited for this cake and it wasn't very hard to make. I got the idea from Betty Crocker and I just changed a few things from the original recipe. At the bottom of the post I will put my favorite icing recipe because really homemade icing is way better than canned.

Getting ready to sing Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday dear Karma, Happy Birthday to you!

Making a wish.

Blowing out the candles!

Karma got a lot of great presents and we are so thankful for everybody that was able to come and enjoy this special day with her.
