{Maleficent Birthday Party}

Halloween is always a favorite holiday to celebrate and how lucky is this little girl to have a birthday so close to the date! She absolutely loves Maleficent and had been asking for a themed party since the movie released.  So this year we suggested a Maleficent inspired costume party at a local jungle gym.  We selected purple, apple green and black as our color scheme, and let me just say it looked amazing!

Read on for all the party details and lots of pictures!

Let us start with this cake, or should I say, this GORGEOUS cake!  Jovanna from Jovadiel Cake Designs came up with this adorable creation in black lace over purple fondant and a mirror frame with our girl's initial.  The rest of the cake speaks for itself.  Delicious and beautiful, a hit with all the guests.  To continue with the Maleficent inspiration she also created cupcakes with toppers featuring small mirror and the horns, of course. 

As for the desserts, deliciously created by Sugar Bliss, we wanted to take the Halloween route and crate spooky, curious and sweet treats.  Most of them inspiration gathered on Pinterest.  Chocolate covered apples with bling sticks from Treats by Taryn on Etsy, rice krispy treats, marshmallow brownie ghosts, nutella cheesecake tombs, witch fingers, and of course, the beautiful and cookies by Cookies by Suehery in lemon, coconut and vanilla flavors.  Simply amazing!

The whole setup was completed with green and black curtains, a custom made banner, dessert tags, signage, favor boxes and small themed decorations by yours truly.

I hope you all love this party as much as I do!  Hopefully it will bring some inspiration to your Halloween parties in the future.

{Mickey Musketeer Birthday}

It is always such a treat to work with this family. For some amazing reason I get really inspired by the themes we choose for all the celebrations we have made for all three of their kids.  So this time, we took a popular theme as Mickey Mouse and got inspired by The Three Musketeers movie.  The result is a colorful and fun display of desserts and balloons.  Guests were impressed and delighted by all the sweetness.

We started off with the balloon art by my friend Johanna of GloboArte where she created a life size Mickey Musketeer and a not so literal Goofy by incorporating the age of the birthday boy.  Placed by each side of our dessert table it was the perfect backdrop element along with a birthday banner with a medieval look.

Now on to the table.  Lots of desserts including strawberry cheesecakes with embellished spoons, lemon French macarons, fleur de lis sugar cookies, chocolate covered Oreos, coconut macaroons and brownies.  All of these desserts made by my sweet sister-in-law Mari from Sugar Bliss.

The cake is always a focal point of my tables and this one is simply spectacular.  Mary from The Cake Factory created three tiers of deliciousness and really fantastic sugar art.  An exclusive design for this party! The cupcakes were a perfect complement to this cake.

The kids tables featured a musketeer look alike centerpiece, Mickey head place mats, polka dot plates and personalized water bottle labels with striped straws.  Mickey ears for each kid completed the setting.

We prepared burlap goody bags along with tiaras and magic wands for girls and foam swords for the kids.

The party was held at a local indoor playground and the kids had a blast.
