Budweiser Houseparty

I hosted my Budweiser Ultimate Backyard BBQ House Party on July 4th.  What a great time we had.

If you aren't signed up with House Party you def. should right now!  You have the chance to host parties and they send you great party packs to give to your guests.  This is the second party I have hosted.  Check out my first party here.

Anyway, here is our party pack.

Love this tray!

And our surprise flag cake.

I made this cake last year as well.  

Luckily this year, I only had to bake the cakes and my BFF put it together.  

I hope you had a great Fourth of July with your family!

XOXO

Happy Fourth of July!

My 4 day weeks have started!  So now through Labor Day weekend I will be off every Friday.  I am super excited to take advantage of some extra time with my peanut!  

Here is Mommy's little Firecracker!

I was looking to do something fun for July 4th.  While searching through blogs and good ole Google I came across 17 and Baking.  This is a wonderful blog and inspired me to make her cake.

So, I attempted to make the Flag Cake earlier this week as a trial run.  Let me just say that I am NOT a baker.  I usually burn everything, so I knew I would need a trial run.  Good thing I did too, because the red and blue cakes stuck to the pan and just crumbled.  I was so bummed, I threw it away.

So here are my three cakes.  All ready to go.  It was 2 boxes of White cake, split into 3 equal parts, and then dye 1 blue and 1 red.

Then you begin to layer red and white... Recipe here

So again, I cannot bake but was super excited that it came out PERFECT!

So fun right?!  If I make this again I might get those sugar sprinkles for the top because the blue cake kinda carried through the rest of the icing.  But again, since I cannot bake, I give myself an A on this project!

We even had enough left over for red, white, and blue Trifle!

That was my back-up plan in case the cakes stuck to the bottom of the pans again!

I hope your Fourth of July weekend was as fabulous as mine!  Have a great week!
