Alyssah turned 16 this week! Her mom is an old coworker of mine and decided to trick her for her sweet 16. Alyssah was told that there was just no money for a birthday party this year… but in reality there was a huge surprise party planned!
We went with zebra, hot pink, and turquoise as the “theme.”
This was my first time making zebra cookies. I contemplated a few ways I could do it before settling on outlining each stripe and filling them separately.
They came out better than I imagined, and each one was unique because I just free handed the stripes.
The rest of the cookies were filled in hot pink and bright turquoise, with alternating mongrams, 16’s, and her name.
Don’t they look cute together? I am in love with this set.
Last year for Alyssah’s birthday I made these Red Velvet Cake Balls. Her mom asked for cake balls again, so this year I went with yellow cake and chocolate coating.
I colored the chocolate coating black (or as black as I could) so that they would match the cookies. Then I drizzled the tops with turquoise and hot pink to match the cookies.
Alyssah was so surprised at her party! Her parents told her they were going to her aunt’s house for dinner. All her friends were hiding under the tables and behind furniture so they could pop out as she walked through the door!
