Sweet Little Fox Party Inspiration

We wanted to share a little table we put together with inspiration for a 'Sweet Little Fox' celebration. We love this as a birthday party theme! Filled with festive balloons, buntings and fox party hats you can not go wrong! We filled a kiddo friendly table with delicious cupcakes from our favorite bakery, Cacao Sweets and Treats and topped them with little glittery hearts, made some pink chocolate covered marshmallows dusted in course sugar and of course what party would be complete without donuts!?! We love balloons and adding some festooning to them  makes them even more festive, a little 'sweets' garland completes the backdrop and hangs perfectly above the table! We used our little 'fox food' tags to put on favor boxes and are excited to introduce our new 'prints' {which will be listed soon in our shop, take any illustration and turn it into a print for your kiddos room!} We these pictures make you happy, have a great Monday!!

Donut Party

Well, our donut inspiration week is coming to end, but what would the end of a week be with our a party! So we have for you, a festive donut party! We truly do believe that parties should be simple, fun and carefree and that's exactly what this is! You would not believe how easily this came together, with a few store bought donuts, you can set up a donut bar in no time at all! We created a confetti garland by using two shades of pink paper and white paper. We love this look because they are almost reminiscent of donut holes, if you use your imagination, right! We took two pedestals and pilled sugary donuts on one and chocolate glazed on the other. Our cake is a simple white frosted cake with mini powdered donut holes around the bottom.  We just took a DIY donut from our donut garland and popped it on a paper straw to create a simple cake topper! Mini glass, polka dot ramekins filled with hot fudge were perfect to balance our donut skewers on. We used "dunk it" cupcake toppers and just turned them sideways and skewered a glazed donut hole on to it so they could be easily dunked in the hot fudge and popped in your mouth! Lastly, our "donut bar" letter garland hung from our pink chevron table cloth! Now, how simple is that! These ideas could be used for a birthday party, a baby shower or sprinkle or even just a fun set up for you little ones after a sleep over, who would not want to wake up to a donut bar!?!

We couldn't decide whether we liked our cake with a donut on a straw cake topper or a donut party hat cake topper...which is your favorite!?! 

"Sweet Sleepover" 11th Birthday Party

This past weekend Kellie's daughter sweet Annabella celebrated her 11th birthday! She had such a successful and fun-filled sleepover last year, that Annabella decided she wanted another one this year! So the theme became, "A Sweet Sleepover"! To set the tone we used our "sweet shoppe" invites! At the party the girls decorated cake boxes, decorated their own personal mini cakes that they got to bring home and share with their families, had a candy hunt, opened gift with oven mits on their hands...yes challenging but so much fun!

For decorations we played off of the color palette on the invites, pink and aqua...always a pretty combination and perfect for an 11 year old! We created our own tassel garlands that we strung in multiple locations! We even put one on each girl's chair, where they sat to decorate their cakes! There are so many great tutorials online for creating tassel garlands, we used on from Visual Vocabulary, found here. We also ordered paper poms from our favorite pom vendor, Paper White Designs! We made a mini letter garland that read, "11 is sweet" and an oversized cupcake flag topped our ruffled caked. We also purchased a super fun metallic, aqua backdrop so that the girls could take silly photos in front of it, of course they loved it! We even took photos of them holding their cakes in front of it.

We didn't necessarily have a "sweet table" but more of a "sweet area"! We set up pink wooden boxes that the girls had their cake decorating supplies in and were able to decorate their cakes right in the boxes. They also helped to avoid a huge cake mess! We really wanted to mimic the illustration on our invites, so in the middle of the table we set up 3 pedestals with desserts that Annabella picked out for us to make! We made a tall ruffle cake, cookie dough cupcakes {umm yea they are amazing}, brownie pops with a shimmered polka dot and of course what party would be complete without french macarons rimmed in pink sugar on top of a bowl full of jelly beans! Above the table we set up 3 apothecary jars on a shelf filled with candy they girls could take home.

The "sweet sleepover" was a success and a great party for an 11 year old girl! Although, I have an idea that Kellie may be taking the next year off from hosting another sleepover ;)

Gold and Creme Baby Shower

We were recently asked to create a sweet table for my aunt's gorgeous daughter in law's baby shower. She wanted a gold and crème color scheme! Since we love all of the metallics that are so popular right now, we could not wait to get started! We decided to literally create the whole table around oversized gold paper flowers that we made as a backdrop. We created them from large rolls of brown paper that we sprayed gold, in three of them we added tissue paper flower centers to create some dimension. To compliment them we made crème colored tissue paper flowers with gold fringe centers to top our mini cupcakes. We also made 3 coordinating cake toppers that were placed on top of a shimmered ruffle cake! Under the cake were mini rice krispie treats drizzled in white chocolate and wrapped in gold foil. We also made chocolate brownie pops with gold shimmered gems and gold glittered tiny tim cookies! The table was set with a gold cloth and a crème colored scalloped lace overlay. We completed the table with a “hand-glittered” letter garland that read “sweet bebe”.
