I’m one of those moms. You know, the kind that does the big fancy shmancy birthday party for the child that will never remember it. The 1st birthday. It’s probably the most special of all of them to me and I like to celebrate it big – from the cake to the decorations and everything in between.
Little Miss Emma’s 1st birthday is just 2 months away and I’m already getting excited finding the perfect party supplies…the only thing left is finding the perfect tutu. If anyone has any suggestions of a tutu maker they’ve used and loved, I’d love to hear about them!
My to do list over the next month includes doing a trial run on that beautiful castle cake, ordering party supplies, a custom onesie and like I said above, a tutu for her birthday girl outfit.

Oh I wish I could do a princess party lol. Can’t wait to hear how the birthday cake goes.
I am actually looking for a tutu for my little girl too! Her first birthday is in April. I found a whole bunch of cute Etsy sights out there BUT I’m not sure of the quality. Happy Birthday to Emma and have fun planning!
I do huge parties, too. I think the princess party will be a blast and I can’t wait to see it!
How exciting. I love that cake!
Great theme! Sadly my two little boys would not look back upon pictures of them in tutus too fondly. lol
That cake looks awesome! Good luck with that. And, you know I love a personalized onesie and tutu on a birthday girl. What fun.
You really do go all out! Can I adopt you as a my mother for my birthday? LOL I love birthdays! Happy WW, a tad early!
I haven’t heard of a tutu maker, I just make my own, tying tule over elastic and hot gluing flowers on it.
I can’t wait to see all the pics – this is going to be a a fabulous birthday!!
My daughter’s first bday was Mother Goose themed – I made a little bo peep cake with sheep cupcakes and that was the extent of my decorating. LOL I am terrible at parties, but I have high aspirations!
That sounds like so much fun!
I did a blog post on Tutus: Be A WAHM: Start your OWN Baby Boutique Business SET of Tutorials and MORE
Wow after reading that I kinda feel like I’ve jipped all 4 of my kids. I’ve never made a big deal out of the first birthday just because I knew they wouldn’t remember but it looks like Emma will have a great one! Happy WW!
Wow, can’t wait to see the cake when you are done! I’m sure it will look fantastic. I can’t believe she is almost one already! Has this year flown by or what?
It really is scary to look at her and realize just how quickly this year has gone by. My last baby is growing up.
I was that mama last year, lol. We had a Super Mario cake with decor. We didn’t do clothing though, wish we did! Emma’s party is going to be so much fun, I can tell. I can’t wait to have a little girl. I am totally doing tutus and chocolate and pink polka dots!
Watch out, it becomes an obsession. After having all things boy for 6 years before the girls came along it looked like someone vomited Pepto Bismol all over the house. Now I just can’t help myself with all the girlie things.
Ahh..two months and Sarah will be 1 as well..and I have not even started planning…I shall now have to start planning..at least we have a location..:)
That cake is awesome. Did you already buy the pan. I am trying to convince my sister to get it so i can make my niece’s birthday cake this coming year. LOL! (I have no girls, I do not need the pan personally…)
What About Miss Priss for a tutu? http://www.missprisstutus.com/
I used to do that, but then I had my second one and it was just too much work.
I love big parties as well! She’s going to be adorable!
As for a tutu – that consignment store by County Market has them. I think they can order one for you as well. Adorable and VERY affordable. You might check it out!
Emma’s first birthday party is going to be awesome!
Sounds like a lot of fun!
Yay for princess parties! I’m sure it will be fun and fab.
Looks like such fun! I see excitement brewing.
Okay, having 2 boys I totally miss out on this type of thing. Hope the party is awesome.
I’m one of “THOSE” moms too, its ok. That cake is AWESOME – I cant wait to see how you do with it. I have a 4th birthday in April for a little princess – I may have to try too!
The cake looks so easy on the video instructions at BettyCrocker.com
I’m thinking of changing up some of the colors though, I really wanted to do a purple princess party, but there’s no purple stuff anywhere.
I recently won a contest @MyOrganizedChaos for a gift card to Little Diva Tutus. Their Tutus are gorgeous. Here is the link if you are interested in checking them out:

we did a large party for my grandbaby where pink was the theme
I love that cake!! Adorable! My sister at Keeperofthecheerios.com used to make tutus all the time. Maybe she can tell you how to make them.
I have always done big 1st birthday parties too! It’s the first so it should be perfect. CUTE cake!
Happy WW!

cute stuff! I’m the opposite of you – no planning “oops, is today Violet’s birthday party? better get a cake!”
How adorable! That face is just so cute, it makes you stop dead in your tracks. Lol I can’t wait to see how the party comes along-Even though she won’t remember it, I know it’ll be extremely special for you and other family and friends
What a little princess! That cake is amazing.
Boy, that sounds like a party I want to have, because after all, I am a princess, too!!

I am obsessed with tutus! I have purchased several from etsy and love them. I also love dimplesanddandelions.com! They have tutus, tutu dresses, and birthday outfits………..they aren’t cheap but boy are they cute. On etsy search for paisleyandposies and rosiesbowtique………..they are two stores that I love that are very reasonable if price is an issue!
