We threw a NYC-themed “Big Apple Birthday” for our daughter’s 1st birthday. We spent the last three months of Anna Drake’s first year in New York, so the theme was fitting! We use apples to decorate the tables, as well as in our menu! We enjoyed apple toast (with gouda cheese) and the children had classic apple juice, while adults sipped an apple rum spritzer.
To Celebrate Lucas’ second birthday, his mom picked a farm theme. Based on this beautiful idea, I created and changed the whole environment at their home, to make it feel like a farm. We set up different stations in their backyard, where the children could experience a day in a farmers life, from picking eggs and fruits, to gardening and even getting a wheelbarrow ride. The main idea for this party was to celebrate as well as teach their guests, all about the life at a farm.
In celebration of American Heart Month, a little heart-healthy dessert inspiration.
I wanted something fun, different, and colorful for Buggies 5th birthday party {just like her}. After a little back and forth on the theme I went with a “A Very Cute Fruit Stand”.

The theme was ‘apples’ in turquoise and green. Betsy is the ‘apple of our eye’. I made several things for this party, including, pennant bunting, Betsy’s party dress, the invitations and thank you notes. But the thing I am most proud of is the apple shaped cake balls used for favors, and the two tiered caramel apple cake I made. It was the first tiered cake I attempted and it looked just the way I envisioned and tasted great, too! Submitted by : Beth Grebe
