Here’s what Sarah had to say about planning the party- “I scream, you scream… we all scream for Ice cream parties, they are the best! Nothing like a smorgasbord of toppings and treaties, delicious pastel colours and fresh ice cream, it’s scrumminess at its finest!! I was so excited about this party, everything from the location in the park, the beautiful colour palette, the delicious cake, the yummy toppings, it was heaven. My inspiration came from Kara’s amazing ice-cream and cherries party in 2011, I loved absolutely everything about it. It was one big drool session and will go down as one of my most favourite styled kids parties EVER, well done Kara. So I took lots of ideas from Kara’s (your) party and put my Sugar Coated Mama stamp on it. Many things were against me, my lovely white marquee blew away and broke in the wind, then the replacement tent broke in the wind, then with great faith, the third marquee was finally erected and thankfully stayed up the whole day. Despite a rocky start, it was a beautiful day for an ice-cream party!
There are a few DIY ideas in this little soiree; hand sewn ice-cream cones, workman’s horse I found from the side of the road painted up with a wood panel on top, hand painted shelving, left over material used as ribbon to hang off giant balloons and the scalloped pastel bunting.”

Cupcakes were chocolate and topped with a cookie dough frosting and a homemade chocolate chip cookie. Dipped Oreos were topped with adorable fondant toppers from Rachel at Fondant Flinger right down to the “Yum”on the Oreo! The amazing decorated cookies were provided by Katie’s Creative Baking and tasted just as delicious as they look!
And if the littles didn’t get their fill during the day they were welcome to a little “midnight snack” of cookie cereal and milk.” Items used in this party available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop:
Here’s what Sharnel said about planning the party- “This birthday was extra special as my son celebrated alongside his best friend Ella. William and Ella have a very special friendship that’s hard to put into words, you need to see them together to understand. Melissa (Ella’s Mum) and I decided on an Ice Cream Social theme with a punchy yellow and red colour palette that suits both a girl and boy. The party was intimate. Only three other families celebrated alongside us. The concept was simple: each child could build their own Ice Cream Sundae!”
