Alison said this about planning the party- “Glam meets the kitchen in this fun Bake Shop theme. My daughter is in love with everything baking and she thoroughly enjoyed baking with her friends for her big day. My goal was to create a sophisticated, little bake shop that one might find in a quaint corner of a downtown district. The décor was set around the lovely chandelier and everything came together from there. From the bead board backboard to the hot pink, cut-out frame, Charlotte’s Bake Shop sung of feminine details that any little girl would go giddy over.

In keeping with the theme, Charlotte and her guests met at a local commercial kitchen, Lovable Foods, where they not only got to bake their treats, but received instruction from a professional chef. Alicia Garcia, co-owner and chef with Lovable Foods, lead the girls through baking and creating several delicious treats – including apple tartlets and strawberry shortcake. The idea was that the girls would create their own delectable fare for Charlotte’s Bake Shop and have enough to take home.

The entire party was branded to look like an actual bake shop. Each girl was given a personalized apron with the shop’s brand and left with a favor bag and personalized recipe cards that matched. Red and hot pink accented the paper goods with the occasional green – to add a contrasting pop of color.

The girls feasted on their creations of apple tartlets and strawberry shortcake. They also decorated their own cupcakes and were served whole fruits that were used in the ingredients of their cooking lesson – fresh strawberries and whole green apples. A simple ruffle cake was presented to the birthday girl – at her request – with a personalized cake topper that mimicked the rest of the design.

The girls also created their take away bakery boxes. Small medallions were created with their own personalized tag and glued onto each box so they knew who’s was who’s upon departure. The party was a huge success and the girls thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of their labor. The party was fun, educational, and in the end, very delicious!”
