{Teen Beach Movie Pool Party}

Today I'd like to share this fantastic Teen Beach Movie inspired party for Mia.  I've done several parties for this family over the years and I just love to work with them.

This party was full of bright colors with a summer feel.  Although it is officially Fall, here in PR we have wonderful weather all year long, so a pool party is never out of the question. For the background we used bamboo fencing and foam props shaped as surfboards which I personalized with the little girl's name, age and movie logo.  We also got these character props which were a huge hit with the kids.

The dessert table is always my favorite part.  I always have a wonderful cake and cupcakes by Jovanna Valentín and lots of sweet treats.  This time my darling sister-in-law Mari from Sugar Bliss provided all the desserts: french macarons, brownies, polvorones, coconut macaroons and sugar cookies which I adore.  Check out the details on the flip flops!  The birthday girl's name and age... adorable!

Now, the cake was wonderful.  She is definitely a master.  Clean lines, smooth fondant and the VW buggy on top was the 'icing' on this cake.  Love all the detail.

We also created a juice bar with coconuts and pineapple cups for everyone.

Kids would receive beach pails filled with candy and toys topped with a beach ball.

Always a pleasure to create for this family!

{British Royal Birthday Bash}

I am so excited to show you this beautiful party!  You might remember this sweet family from the many events we have created for their little boys.  Francisco is my friend's third little prince.  After the fabulous hot air balloon baby shower we created for her last year we knew we had to step it up a notch with his first birthday.  So she chose a London royal theme, and it was smashing!

Joanna from GloboArte created a large British guard and lamp post to complement our d-board telephone booth creating an awesome background for our main table.

As always we setup a dessert and candy bar full of delicious sweetness.  Candy favorites that should always be part of a candy stand and home made desserts complete our fantastic table.  Among the desserts we offered mini trifles, lemon cookie biscuits, french macarons and jello cups by Merari's Pastry.  Cupcakes and cake pops with the london theme were brought in along with the beautiful cake by EndulsArte by Mary Annette.  She is an artist with porcelain and gum paste.  The cake topper was inspired by the little soldier from digital graphics by KandyMagick we used on our stationary.  We also served suger cookies by Peggy in three iconic designs.

We used lots of aluminum tea cans with the Brithish theme that we were so lucky to find at Marshall's.  These came in red, white and blue as well as with the British flag, a couple of tin taxi cabs and iconic mailboxes.  How cute are they!  They worked amazingly for us as we used them to display candy on the dessert table and white and blue daisies for our centerpieces for which  we used several types of boxes, paper luggage, frames and flowers.

The favor table was framed by a d-board double decker bus.  Small tin buckets were filled with kid's favorites embellished with a gift tag.

And as usual we completed the setup with bottle water labels, paper straws, striped favor bags, a birthday banner and framed signs.

So fun and bright! A party fit for a little prince.
