Ariel + Under the Sea 2nd Birthday Party

1

This adorable ARIEL + UNDER THE SEA SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Joanne of Cakes by Joanne Charmand.

This Ariel under the sea party is so beautiful! A few of my favorite elements are:
  • The stunning mermaid fondant cake
  • The clamshell shaped cookies
  • The simple but effective use of paper fringe for an ocean backdrop
  • and MORE!
This is what Joanne said about planning the party- “This setup was for my gorgeous niece’s 2nd birthday. She loves Ariel and loves the water! The party was actually at the pool so it was a challenge setting up the buffet as we could not use any glass. I made all the cupcake wrappers simply by getting the different shades of glittery paper from Lincraft. The beautiful photo on the ocean backdrop was taken The White Room Photography.”

I love the creativity of this cookies and milk party! There are so many fabulous (and delicious looking) elements & ideas here. A few of my favorites are:
The white chocolate “milk mustaches”
The cookie dough cupcake frosting
The milk bottle and milk carton shaped cookies
and MORE!

This is what Elizabeth said about the party- “The hardest part about this party was not eating it all before I photographed it! Forever Your Prints‘ label set was the perfect starting point for the table design. Chocolate chip cookies, whoopie pies and peanut butter blossoms (all featured in the labels) were baked and displayed throughout the table. My favorite treat had to be the three layer cookie bars though, check out how I took them even further here. I also made white chocolate “milk mustaches” to put next to the milk buffet offering up chocolate, strawberry and white milk.

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.”

This is what Melissa said about planning the party- “My daughter Kate recently turned two and I took two of her favorite things as inspiration for the party: The book “Pinkalicious” and anything with Gold Glitter. She has favored the “Pinkalicious” book since she’s been tiny. Our copy of the book is torn to shreds! I didn’t want to use the character in the book for the main design but instead used my sweet Kate. I photographed her in a gold princess crown and and dressed her in a shade of pink. Then I worked with the color in designing the invite.

At the party, guests got to enjoy a variety of Pinkalicious treats that you’d see in the story. Two of my favorites were the pink cupcakes complete with gold dust and the Pinkalicious strawberry cake. For the party favors, the girls received gold or glitter star wands just like Pinkalicious in the story. For the extra pink/glitter touches throughout the table, I incorporated pink/glitter ribbon on the mason jars and designed pink and glitter water bottle labels. I love the chevron design of the backdrop and was so excited to stumble across that paper. It added the touch of modern I was looking for. The paper tassels at the top were so easy to make and polished off the background. Pinkalicious Kate and her friends had a sparkly fun 2nd birthday party!”

Cat + Kitty Themed 2nd Birthday Party

3

This adorable CAT THEMED SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Carissa Wegner.

I love that this party is completely centered around cats! So many cute ideas here! Here are a few of my favorite elements:
The yarn-wrapped MEOW letters
The favor bags with paper cat faces glued onto them
The fondant pennant banner cake with a 3-D cat topper
The hand-painted cat themed photo op
and MORE!

This is what Carissa said about planning the party- “My daughter loves cats, so I used her Bla Bla Bubbles cat doll as inspiration for her birthday party. I tried to make everything kitty themed. The invitation and printables were designed by Anders Ruff. They did an amazing job! Rachel of Frosted Bliss made the delicious cake. She did a wonderful job incorporating all the details from the invitation. There were also plenty of other sweets like paw print cookies from RedSprinkles, kitty cake pops from Glass of Milk Cake Company, and a candy bar with kit kats, licorice, and sweedish fish. For entertainment we had a custom kitty pinata made by Aracely, a pin the tail on the cat game made by my talented mother in law, and a fun photo op painted by DeeDee. For non-sweets we had Meow Mix (chex mix), gold fish crackers, fruit kabobs, and fish shaped sandwiches. Everything was a big hit!”
