I wanted Owen’s first birthday to be unique and special, while using as little money as possible. My goal was to decorate with things I already had in the house, buying only a few basic necessities. The result was a very simple, handmade party… nothing extravagant or expensive, just a sweet little celebration of our baby’s first year.

Oh now this is ingenious and so sweet! The cloud templates on the shelves made me smile and the draped circular bunting that tied in with the shapes of the hot air balloons is magical and very professiona looking.
What is darling to me is the little balloon on top of the cake – a show-stopper and perfect for a little boy. I hope he had a delightful birthday!

How did you make the DIY mini cake topper?

The basket is a mini cupcake, and the top is a mini Japanese lantern that I pulled off a string of lantern lights. I taped toothpicks to the inside of the lantern, and stuck the toothpicks in the mini cupcake :).

I’m not sure if you’re still looking at comments on this page, but I’m doing a hot air balloon party for my son, and I’d love to know where you found the elephant/hot air balloon image you used on his invitation! It is SO cute.

Where did you find the tiny paper lanterns especially for the cake?
