Nicki's 40th The Best Is Yet To Come

Started with a hot pink background, used black for drapes, three hot pink pom poms,
and large hand painted 40. Covered the table in black and used zebra print fabric for the runner. Made zebra print bows to put on the candles. Used upside down wine glasses with a flower for the candle holders.
We had white cake with vanilla buttercream, covered in MMF, hot pink flowers, and a letter N for a topper. The cupcakes were strawberry with hot pink vanilla buttercream and MMF toppers hand painted zebra stripes and hot pink 40's and N's! The cake pops were chocolate with hot pink and white candy coating. Hand painted zebra stripes on the white ones and hot pink sprinkles on the others. I used MMF for the bows. The Jell-O shots were strawberry banana with coconut rum. I used captain Morgan mini bottles for the favors and made tags that said "Nicki may be turning 40 but the best is yet to come"
Used a zebra print bucket with a hot pink bow for the forks, zebra print napkins, and hot pink plates with zebra stripes. I made her a crosage that said "I'm 40 bitches" it fit her personality perfectly.
I was very happy with the way it turned out... It was small but it ment the world to Nicki!!! That makes all the work totally worth it!
