Enjoy this horse themed birthday party….
This has been an absolutely crazy week for me since my daughters birthday is on the 8th and my husbands is on the 9th. ;)
Luckily, my husband only wanted Key Lime pie for his birthday dessert, but my daughter wanted a big birthday bash with 15 of her preteen friends. She wanted ANOTHER horse party since she is obsessed with horses! She rides English, so I thought it would be appropriate to have a cake that depicted that.
This is an 8″ cake that I covered in white fondant first to make the white undershirt and then I covered the white with black to make the jacket. This was a trial and error kinda cake since I hadn’t done it before, so I am sorry if I don’t give the most detailed instructions.
Anyway, I made the hat by using rice crispy treats that I bought in a box (i must have used 20 of the things) from the store. I smushed them altogether (doesn’t sound to appetizing) to make the shape of the helmet and then built it up with black fondant to make it bigger. After getting it the size I wanted, I covered the whole thing in black fondant and then added the front part. I made the ribbon out of blue fondant and fan folded it in a circular motion (did this at least three times to get it right) and then let it dry and painted on the gold with luster dust mixed with extract.
The whip is a piece of covered floral wire that I inserted into a piece of fondant that had been rolled to the size I wanted, and then I added the end, etc.
The buttons are done using fondant and two different sized circle cutters to make it look more realistic.
I am happy with the way it turned out, but my daughter and her friends were most impressed and that made me happiest!
Here a few other photos from the party:
;)
I bought bags from Michaels and printed off initials of all the girls that were coming to the party. I used flower and circle punches I had from all my craft supplies. The polka dotted ribbon was purchased from Michaels and the green from WalMart. The colors matched the party theme perfectly!
;)
These were water bottles that I just added cut cardstock to and then happened to find Propel packets that matched the color theme to insert inside.

Here is a tutorial on How to make the water bottle pouch!

This is an ice bucket I purchased from Southern living at Home! Love it ! I use it for every party I have!

Our aunt just happened to have an ice bucket to match the colors!

The girls got ribbons for winning the games we played. We played games like bobbing for carrots (we hung them from a string and they had to eat it fastest. We had a jumping course where they had to compete to see who could finish with the best time and then we threw horseshoes to see who could throw them the furthest. It was alot of fun but very hot and humid (as you can see by the way some of pictures are blurred)!
;)
My daugther decorated the yard with some of her horseback riding equipment! It was a great day and the girls seemed to have a great time!

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
