Cowgirl Birthday

My daughter is going through a horse phase.  So for her 9th Birthday we had a Cowgirl Party.  This was actually a Gluten AND Egg free cake so it stayed in the pan (or it would fall apart).  Here are the details about the party:

The dinnerware:  Pie plates, bandana napkins, and more

My uncle gave me an unused "disco" pinata he had.  I transformed him into a cowboy.

"Hay Stack" Rice Treates

"Cow Pattyies" (Star Crunch) and old fashioned candy

The "Chuck Wagon" served chili with lots of toppings and a variety of snacks.

Complete with Wagon Wheels (covered hula hoops)

The Saloon

Yum!

The Activities:

Uno Moo for the little ones

Decorate your own bandana (with fabric markers)

That Pinata

Horseshoes

Cowgirl Pictures

And of course Line Dancing

I think she had a great time :)

Gandy Reunion (Cowboy Cake #2)

The Gandy Reunion on Thanksgiving was western theme (like the Driver reunion cake on 6/16/07). So this is basically a copy of the other cake...only round. The center icing layer also has chocolate chips...mmmmmmmm.

Family Reunion Cowboy Cake

I made this for the Driver Family Reunion. Obviously it was a western theme. The 5 accessories on the cake are not edible and are made of wood. The top border is a rope lasso made from icing Which matches the lasso cupcakes. Simple but fun.
