Preppy Pink & Navy Nautical First Birthday

The dessert table was set up in the lake gazebo and filled with the talents of so many! The pink cake was designed with a swirl “wave” pattern and contributed by Creations Bakery. It sat on my favorite white scallop stand from Pier 1 Imports. The adorable anchor cookies were made by Sweet Goosie Girl and were just as delicious as cute! I couldn’t resist and ate one within minutes of the package landing on my doorstep! The fondant toppers were custom made by Claudia Cupcake Lady to perfectly match the sailboat and monogram used throughout. Claudia also kindly designed a sailboat fondant topper for Eliza’s smash cake. The pink stripe and navy stripe straws were courtesy of Fun Paper Straws.  I designed straw flags and used glass bottles that were recycled Starbucks frappuccino bottles! The individual snack containers were filled with pretzel goldfish and topped with a “Catch of the Day” sticker. The containers were another fun freebie! While eating lunch at a local deli, those perfect little containers were served with the kid’s meal. I asked if I could purchase some and the kind manager gave me as many as I needed! The pink lunch bags held “Sailor Sandwiches”. The sailboat kabobs were filled with blackberrries and blueberries to match our navy colored theme. The skewers were topped with a sail and inserted into a glass vase of brown sugar to give the look of sand. The beautiful photography was by Stacy Mize Photography and all of the preppy party decor was designed by Sweet Peach Paperie.
