My sister did such a wonderful job planning the entire party. She didn’t overlook any detail and everything had just the perfect pink/green touch. Everyone raved about the food and had a wonderful time. My niece loved her smash cake (not pictured) and licked each finger to get every last bit of icing off that she could :). Overall the party was a complete success. I can’t wait to start helping to plan her 2nd birthday party ;)
One of the appetizers that everyone loved was the horseradish and apricot crostini; everyone raved about this appetizer and kept going back for more. The original recipe suggests serving it as a dip with crackers, but my sister thought it would be great on toasted french bread as well...and it was!
