I decided to reschedule for Saturday, but now a "wintery mix" is predicted for that day! I haven't sent out the invite yet... Should I still try? Sun looks better weather wise but we already rsvp'd yes to another friend's bday party that day. I could do Fri night -5-7 or something, but that might be hard for people who are working and my LO can be cranky then... Not sure what to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269265 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:42:58 +0000 chopsuey 1269265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awwwwww bummer! :( I would reschedule! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269257 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:40:15 +0000 78h2o 1269257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: so glad to hear your twice frozen cookies came out okay! :) Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269255 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:38:45 +0000 Beyond2 1269255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've frozen cookies twice and they've been perfectly fine! I've never done a cake, but being so short of a freeze it will probably be fine. If not I think everyone would still understand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269254 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:38:39 +0000 littlek 1269254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: What an adorable cake! I'm sorry.. I would try for next weekend.. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269253 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:38:12 +0000 78h2o 1269253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Unfortunately I was out of saran wrap... the box didn't have a top, so I covered the top of the box with foil, taped it on, then covered all the box's seams with duct tape. I just Googled it and saw the saran wrap suggestion, but it did say foil was probably okay. The cupcakes are in a plastic carrier that I think is pretty airtight, so hopefully they are okay as they are. Although, some of the cupcakes have cream cheese frosting and it does say it's not good to freeze... but the rest should be okay. </p> <p>@psw27: thanks! yes, I make it... it's kinda sloppy since it was late and I was ready for bed, but I think it's still cute enough. Hopefully it will come out of the freezer okay! I wanted to make a penguin with a Happy Birthday sign but ran out of time, so if it comes out okay, maybe I will have time for that!</p> <p>Thanks everyone for your support. I am thinking I will try for a redo with a smaller group on Saturday. </p> <p>@JoyfulKiwi: I think you are totally right that buying/ordering food is the way to go.... it will just take me awhile to convince myself that's okay... I spent a lot of time finding recipes and figuring out what to make, so it makes me sad to think about ordering (plus the expense)... but I really don't want to have to cook everything again. I'm just not always good at simplifying! I'm going to try though! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269252 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:38:10 +0000 Trailmix 1269252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, man, that stinks!! I'm sorry :(<br /> I'd definitely try to re-schedule! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269145 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 11:57:02 +0000 Smurfette 1269145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: Did you wrap the box up? I think it is saran wrap and then foil? I would google how to freeze wedding cakes. I have a friend that freezes cakes ALL the time and says that they are fine. Especially since it won't be for that long of a period, I think it will be fine.<br /> And that cute is adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269120 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 11:47:10 +0000 psw27 1269120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a bummer. Try again this weekend. </p> <p>Sidenote: omg what a cute cake! Did you make that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269082 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 11:37:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 1269082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aww I am sorry! those cookies do look DELICIOUS. </p> <p>I would try for this weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1269070 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 11:33:43 +0000 78h2o 1269070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I did go ahead and put them in the freezer, but I'm worried because I already froze them once between baking and icing them.</p> <p>I put her cake in the freezer (in a box)... What are the chances it will come out ok? Do you think I should make another if we try to reschedule for this Sat? I also put the polar bear cupcakes in the freezer. I have no experience with freezing baked goods. </p> [attach=2480/13/mxjt2w.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1268832 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:19:50 +0000 edelweiss 1268832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh i would be so disappointed too! those cookies look beautiful--good call on freezing what you can. i also vote for doing something smaller next weekend (so it's a bit easier). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1268824 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:18:19 +0000 Smurfette 1268824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!

I'd try for next weekend &amp; not redo the more complicated food items. Maybe order pizzas or sandwich trays? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1268433 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 23:13:13 +0000 fancyfunction 1268433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, so sorry that happened! We had M's party this past weekend and believe me, I know how much work you put into everything. I also vote for next weekend and hopefully a good portion of guests can make it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1268430 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 23:04:59 +0000 wheres_c 1268430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so sorry! I thought ours was going to go the same way but it worked out.

Those cookies are gorgeous! Hope everything works out for next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1268413 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 22:30:41 +0000 cmomma17 1268413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer!!! </p> <p>Try for a smaller redo this weekend. Less people, so less food.<br /> Those cookies are beautiful!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1268410 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 22:24:12 +0000 travelgirl1 1268410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw I'm so sorry :( I would redo it for next weekend, even if not everyone could come, you don't want all that hard work to go to waste. And those cookies look fab! Happy Birthday to your LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1268409 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 22:24:03 +0000 californiadreams 1268409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'd do it next weekend, seems to save more money and not too far from the actual date you were supposed to have it. i wouldn''t expect all 40 guests to be able to come though.</p> <p>eta. what a bummer though, i would have also been totally disappointed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disappointed-1st-birthday-party-got-snowed-out-today#post-1268406 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 22:20:07 +0000 78h2o 1268406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, so I know in the grand sceme of of things this is not a big deal, but today I'm disappointed. Super disappointed. I've been planning my LO's winter wONEderland party for the past 2 months and today had everything ready to go (including helium balloons - the works!) and then it snowed 8"! A real, but inconvienient, winter wonderland! So only a neighbor made it out of 35-40 people. Several people tried to make it and had to turn around, it was awful out.</p> <p>Ugh! I worked so hard on the food and everything... It just sucks! I will try to re freeze the cookies, cupcakes, and cake in hopes of doing something next weekend, but I am so exhausted from all the cleaning, decorating, cooking/baking that it is overwhelming thinking of having to buy all the food again and redo it... But then again, I also spent a lot of time on everything else that will still be good.</p> <p>What would you do? Just be done with it or try for a redo? If I try to reschedule, it would have to be for next weekend or in Jan. But if we did it next weekend, some food would still be ok (Cheeses, ingredients for dips I hadn't made yet - like sour cream)... But this is a busy week, so it will be a challenge to redo the food... And it's not much notice for people.</p> <p>Let's just hope I don't eat all 4 dozen cookies before I figure out what do with them! :)</p> <p>[attach=2480/13/mxirxk.448x600.image.jpg] </p>
