Rock Candy Cake - Kara's Party Ideas

Today I am excited to showcase one of my latest parties, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATTERNED PARTY! All of the products used in this party can be found in my shop!

Could all the patterns, colors & prints be any cuter? I love this whole birthday collection so much!

I set this party up on a cute shabby chic buffet. Hung behind the table was the fun patterned ornate party banner. I arranged all the party goods and treats on top of the buffet. The adorable rock candy cake was inspired by this cake from Cocoa and Fig. Kim Stoegbauer from The Tomkat Studio, also used a similar cake here.

This patterned party collection would be perfect for any age, young or old. You could even use certain elements for baby showers & bridal showers! I love how simple it was to put together, because of all the party supplies I had my whole party set up in no time!

I attached one of the cute birthday party tags that are included in the invitation set to the top of the apothecary jar.

Using my Flourish Ornate Paper Punch, I punched out a design at the bottom of a small paper/favor bag. I then inserted a clear cello bag full of candy….viola! Fold over the top of the bag and punch holes for ribbon or twine to finish it off!

This SWEET SHOPPE CANDY PARTY was a blast to design and execute. I just love all the colors…and SUGAR!

My favorite things about this party–
The ric rac / paper and candy necklace bunting
The milk bottles
The bubble gum machine drink dispenser {took the top off my gumball machine and replaced it with a beverage dispenser}
The various lollipops
The paper straws
The funky ribbon on the candy scoops and favor pails
The chocolate dipped candy sticks
and the chevron bags

Of course, the rock candy cake is also so fun! It was inspired by this cake from Cocoa and Fig. The amazing Kim Stoegbauer from The Tomkat Studio also used a similar cake here.
