Australia’s sweetheart Nikki Webster goes all out for her little girl’s big day, reports SHARI NEMENTZIK<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"With an elaborate candy bar of lollipop cakes and personalised cookies, a three-tier pink and gold cake and a jumping castle in the shape of Cinderella\u2019s Carriage, Skylah’s first birthday party is a dream come true for her famous mum Nikki Webster.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started thinking about it as soon as she was born,\u201d reveals an excited Nikki, who spent months planning the over the top birthday bash. “Skylah’s my best friend and it was so much fun.”<\/p>\n

It’s hard to believe the curly-haired, freckle-faced 13-year-old who stole our hearts at the Sydney Olympics 15 years ago is now mum to a gorgeous 1-year-old girl, with husband Matthew McMah, 35.<\/p>\n

\u201cNikki was virtually identical to this one,\u201d says her mum Tina as she helps tiny Skylah into her custom0made party outfit. \u201cExcept Skylah has more hair. I had to stick a bow to Nikki\u2019s head with sticky tape because she had no hair!\u201d<\/p>\n

For the big day, Nikki’s Sydney home is transformed into a pink playground fit for a princess. “I feel like it’s my<\/em> birthday party!” exclaims Nikki, 27, also decked out in top-to-toe pink.<\/p>\n

\u201cSkylah hasn\u2019t got to the age where she can choose, so I\u2019m going to get her in as much pink while I can. She\u2019ll probably end up choosing everything black when she\u2019s older!”<\/p>\n

While the set-up may seem extravagant for a first birthday, it seems the Websters are known for their memorable bashes. “I always had amazing parties,” says Nikki. “They were the ones everyone wanted to be invited to. I used to have massive disco parties, and one year I had monkeys!”<\/p>\n

And it’s clear the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. “I have such great memories of our parties and I want that for Skylah,” says the proud first-time mum.<\/p>\n

But considering the 70-plus guests, dad Matthew has other plans. “She’ll get a 16th, 18th and 21st only!” he jokes. “She’s growing up too fast!”<\/p>\n
