happy camille day

Our Cameek is ten. Her favorite part of the party was playing a game they made up: one girl thows a towel and another one has to jump into the pool and catch it at the same time. I bought a ton of this locally made horse print fabric–most of these girls take riding lessons–and used it for the tablecloth, and I had it made into back packs for the party favors. The requested menu: hot dogs, which I couldn’t even find in this town until the last panic-y moment, potato salad and fruit kabobs. Chocolate cake with royal icing. I had to make the cake twice, it was a cracked pale pancake the first time around, but the second time it was perfect, if a bit lopsided. The leftovers are sitting on the counter calling my name.
