ERICA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
I was really excited to be invited to Erica‘s birthday party on Saturday, hosted by Anabela & Geoff. Little did I know just how dreamy this party would be. Firstly, their apartment is the cutest thing ever. I hardly knew where to look, there were so many great pieces of art by artists that I love. The place was lit up with twinkle lights and decorated with balloons and peachy, frilly banners. There was a tower of cupcakes and lovely nibbles to eat.
I finally got to meet Nikole in person. Finally. Nikole brought THE cake. I have never seen anything like this spectacular cake. I almost cried when I saw it and it wasn’t even for me. It was a chocolate cake with sour cherries in the middle. It was completely devoured towards the end of the night, but not before it was lit up with over thirty candles which set the tiny little flags on fire.
Did I mention the pink unicorn pinata? or the sparklers, the glitter birthday hats and the exploding streamers? Anabela, you totally set the bar for future birthday parties!
p.s. Celine’s photos from the party are pretty great.
p.p.s. Anabela’s party post is here.
