And to go along with the very pink girly girl cake, you need some very pink girly girl punch!
But, alas, the party wasn't just about cake and punch -- but about a light luncheon for the guests. Many of whom traveled from afar to help our "girl" celebrate this very special birthday.
Slices of ham and cranberry mustard. Slices of turkey breast with pesto mayonnaise. To be put between the little rolls for mini sandwiches.
And salads. A corn salad with red and green peppers and red onion and a vinaigrette and an old favorite pasta salad with cucumber, green pepper, green onion and pimiento and a sweet dressing. For the granddaughter, pickles!

It was a grand afternoon -- especially for the honoree!
It's Pink Saturday. So please join Beverly at How Sweet The Sound to see the other pinks for this Saturday. It's my first time and I'm excited to participate.

A happy and pink birthday wish goes out to your Mother-In-Law! Yummy! I can't sleep and it is the wee hours of the morning and your food looks soooooo good! Now I am hungry. The cake is certainly a "girly-girl" creation. Do you have any delicious left-overs?
I noticed on your side bar that you are teaching a class in Epelskivers. Have fun! I'm sure your class will love them. I do! I would love you to post about making them and give some great sweet and savory fillings (HINT)!
