fave day of this entire month~ our youngest daughter’s birthday
We have two daughters and they are both still very young~~but boy oh boy are they growing up fast. Party planning/photography are a couple of my hobbies, so even with the craziest month ever (our entire fam was in town for thanksgiving and daughter’s bday)~~ it was kind of fun to plan. I decided to do a diy milk and cookies bday party in honor of our little cookie. The reason youngest daughter has the nickname little cookie is because her aunt started calling “cookie” that when she was about 8 months old because when she said that word she would giggle. Ironically, as she was able to eat toddler food which includes all the goodies, ahem sweets we noticed her very very fave sweet treat was cookies. NOt just any cookie, chocolate chip cookies to be exact. To celebrate her second year of life in this world , we decided what better way than to celebrate than with her very faves?! Milk and cookies, and a lot of jumping around.
banner preperation~lots of cutting and sewing
almost finished
pom pom time
personalized canvas thank you bags~ I used my fave font stencil and fabric paint pen
making cookie’s very fave ~gourmet double chunk cookies….8 lbs worth!
a whole lot of chocolate
serious poundage!
ready to bake
while cooling a touch of sea salt is the trick for sweet but savory too
red velvet from scratch
strawberry la creme tarts
tuxedo cake
it took me an entire hour to ice this cake. I wanted to achieve the perfect texture…this is where being ocd bites u in the butt!
finishing touches, love how the banner i made for the cake turned out
done!
decorated red velvet, with a kiss on top.
strawberry cake pops
the final spread!
For exactly two years on this day, you have brought an immeasurable amount of joy into our home little cookie. It’s really the other name 아빠 calls you so much that is most spot on~ happy birthday to our cookie, our littlest love, our ♥ happymaker ♥ ~ Thank you for completing our lives~We love you so much!
I love it!!! I think I need to have a milk & cookies party for myself! Everything is sooo cute and pretty! Good job hehe 🙂

So beautiful Sooae. You did a wonderful job. I particularly love the Tuxedo Cake. And the picture of you and Cookie! So much love there.
thanks loulou! xo!
How amazing! Oh I wish we lived closer, our daughters could have so much fun playing dress up and eating cake. And we would throw the most fabulous parties for them. I love this sophisticated grey and white palette! Everything looks delicious but most of all, I’m loving the ruffled backdrop. I actually came across the same backdrop on pinterest and immediately saved it for future reference. Okay mama, I think it’s time you took a break now. All this baking is hard work.
