My dear friend Elisha turned 21 at the end of April, so we threw her a fun TEA PARTY!
Elisha requested spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I am pretty particular about my cupcakes and especially frosting. I rarely like the frosting I make; however, I love this recipe!
My friend Chrissy emailed it to me a while ago and it's super simple.

The best Cream Cheese Frosting
Beat 8 oz. cold cream cheese (not rock solid, but it means you can use it straight out of the refrigerator) with 5 Tbsp. softened butter and 2 tsp. vanilla until combined. Gradually add 2 c. powdered sugar that has been sifted after measuring. Continue to add more sifted powdered sugar until you reach a consistency and sweetness that fits your taste.
Some of my favorite details of the day were the lanterns hanging from above and on the mantle
(I LOVE lanterns) and the fabulous fabric I found for the table. I really like the idea of having fabrics as a splash of color or design to help tie the theme together. I also love that I don't need to spend a ton on fabric. I only purchased 2 yards here and I feel it looks great.

We also placed hats on the kitchen table for anyone who didn't have one
(yes, I put out an Angels hat just for fun).
