Do you want to create a really fabulous party on your little girl’s birthday? Last year, you celebrated an ice skating party for her. And she went bowling the year before that. She’s had a pool party, too. A sleepover comes into your mind, but unfortunately, she’s also done that! You’re pretty much out of ideas! If your little girls love to bake and love being creative, a cupcake decorating party is really a marvelous idea.

Kids love to get messy and they love creating stuff. Every little girl will love coming to a birthday party and decorating cupcakes! Cupcake decorating birthday parties aren’t very common which means your daughter’s party will be extra special!

First of all, it’s important to have a large area where there will be enough room for all the girls to decorate their cupcakes. One really large table or a few small ones covered with cute pink table cloths would be perfect. Set up a small area with a plate and two unfrosted cupcakes for each little girl. (She will have one cupcake to eat at the party and an extra one to take home! Give each girl a small box to take her cupcake home in.) Set out the decorating materials in the center or at even intervals around the table.

Remember, it isn’t mandatory to bake your cupcakes all the same flavor! Bake both chocolate and vanilla cupcakes; it’s more fun to have one of each!

Cupcake decorating is more fun when you have a colorful and fun selection of decorations; keep this in mind when you buy the supplies.

A few months ago I decided to treat myself to a new fountain pen and decided to buy one from the Cross range. The Cross Century II fountain pen that I bought came in black and gold with a glossy lacquer finish.  As pens go it’s a fairly thin pen the feels really good in the hand.  However, I prefer to use it without the cap attached as it feels more unbalanced in my hand with it on.  I feel this is due to the fact that this is a Brass pen covered in lacquer, which accounts for the weight.

The nib is gold plated, being decorated with some elegant etched lines.  The pen I chose came with an extra find nib which on first use didn’t quite feel right.  This could be due to the fact that this is the first extra fine I have used.  I didn’t find it scratchy, but there was a feel of friction.  After using it for a period of time I did get used to it and it always laid down a nice wet, steady line.  The ink is supplied using either proprietary cartridges or a screw in converter.

I do feel the part of my problem with using his pen is the extra fine nib.  I actually got this pen for less than so really can’t complain too much, but next time I would definitely go for a medium nib.  What really works in this pen is its weight and shape.  It has classic styling and really does sit well in your hand.
