{All Star Birthday}

Now, this next party was for a loyal customer of mine.  I have already planned birthday for two of her kids, and this is the third one, for her little boy Carlos Julián who just turned 6.  She wanted a Sports theme in red, white and blue.  So we designed everything around sports balls and created a great invitation!



So based on this invitation we created lots of fun details.  Pennant banners hanged over the pool and for the menu we created an 'All Star Menu' offering ballpark and stadium food.



The cake and candy buffet table was a huge success.  We created custom candy labels for the candy jars as well as favor tags for the blue favor bags that each kid would fill with toys from the piñata.






For centerpieces we used re-purposed tin buckets and filled them with inflatable sports balls.  Each bucket was personalized with the birthday boy's initial and name.



The cake and cupcakes were created by The Little Cupcake Shop, a local bakery.  




The table was framed by a huge pennant birthday banner and cheerleader pom poms!




We were really pleased of how this party turned out.  
'Till next time!







{On the Farm Birthday}

I was really happy to work with this theme for a set of adorable triplets that turned 3 years old!  The girl's mom wanted something simple but with little details of cow print and farm animals in sets of three.  So I found the cutest farm clip art from Stockberry Studio over at MyGrafico.  Using the little cute animals, I customized a digital invitation cute enough to be printed and delivered by hand!


For favors we wrapped lots of goodies including lots of candy in extra large bandannas in primary colors.  I tied them with jute string and attached a favor tag.



The banner was the perfect combination of red, blue, yellow and cow print.  We attached it to a burlap backdrop.


Since the favors had lots of yummy candy, we created a simple candy bar with cute candy labels.



For the tables, we used tin pails stuffed and decorated with "lollipop" centerpieces featuring each of the little animals of the theme.  Gingham ribbon adorned every detail


Finally, the cake... a major work of art!  An local and, needless to say, amazing cake designer created this beautiful cake.  She was the same designer of our {Sweet 1st Birthday: Candy and Cupcakes}. For the little animals we used fondant figurines as well as clay figures created by my husband's cousin.  They both did a great job and everyone was nuts about this cake!


The overall look of the cake table with the cow print linens... amazing!


Love how everything turned out!
