Wee One #2 is a serious Barbie kid and loves all things pink, so naturally for her 6th birthday we went all out. She’s really turning into a mini May and it’s totally happening just by watching me. When she decided she wanted a Barbie party she did three things that struck me as so very … me<\/i>. First, she went to Google for inspiration. Next, she made a board on Pinterest (right here if you’re interested<\/a>) and pinned things she found and wanted to incorporate into her party. These two steps alone only really prove that she was born after 2000, right? I mean most kids (especially kids with computer geeky parents) would think to do this, right? The third thing though, totally me. She passed over all the glossy post-1980 Barbies and was only interested in the vintage style black and pink old school Barbies. Love!!!<\/p>\n

I whipped up some fuchsia buttercream for her three tiered cake, strung vintage Barbie printables and small disco balls from pink curling ribbon from our kitchen chandelier, and set up a cute pink table with treats, loot bags, cutlery, and candy kabobs – as per her instructions! The pink cookies I had made before and liked, but I didn’t loooove<\/b> them. She however, did. So she insisted they be included in her party and all her wee little girlfriends really, really liked them. I thought the bright pink and black candy kabobs would have stolen the show, or that the crazy sugar coma inducing cake with buttercream would do it, but no. It was the pink jello cookies.<\/p>\n

The Chocolate Cake was the same chocolate cake I usually make<\/a>, with Classic Wilton Buttercream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Empty the other jello package in a small bowl, and roll up all of the dough into smallish balls. I got almost 5 dozen. Drop each ball hehe<\/i> into the jello powder to coat it.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Flatten each ball with the back of a glass and bake at 400F for 8 minutes.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
