Rainbow Cake

After surviving the addition of twin sisters to the family, our sweet girl deserved a magical day to celebrate her and turning three! We needed magic, balanced with quick and easy! Like most little girls she adores unicorns and the wonder they bring! Amazon finds and naptime crafting were essential for this busy momma to create the magic! We incorporated magical fun with classic and traditional touches!
Naptime DIYs included the tissue paper rainbow tassel banner, the rainbow cake and chalkboard art! Easy decorations included framing a free unicorn print out and “unicorn name” chart, backyard hydrangeas, old chalkboards and a unicorn figurine cake topper! Rainbow fruit kabobs and a rainbow vegetable platter added to the fun!

I was so excited to have this awesome party theme thrown my way by a great local mom here in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Her daughter was adamant about having a party based on the Adventure Time TV show. Mom was having a hard time finding party supplies to go with the theme so she came to me. I made all the graphics for her and a custom cake/cupcakes/marshmallow pops as well. All in all working on this project was a good time. The kids had a ball at the party playing a cool penguin bowling game that they made out of bottles. An awesome face painter and entertainer was there to show the kids an extra fun time as well.  Great party for a great gal, Happy Birthday Aila!

Mila wanted a cheery and colorful theme for her birthday and she picked Rainbow. We brought in a fairy who did face painting, balloon twisting and magic show for entertainment.

The main idea was to have a party that was simple and colorful, without an obvious theme. Our little girl hadn’t been exposed to a lot of tv characters, so she did not have a favorite character to be the driving force and inspiration for the party. Instead, we chose to use animals and colors to compose a theme, since that’s what she was learning at the time. And also, because we live in an old house we love, there was nothing better than marrying a vintage theme with animals that she loved. So vintage circus it was! The color scheme was vintage inspired, as well as the patterns. I purchased the round poms poms at etsy and made the banner pom poms to accentuate the color scheme. Other than that, I worked on the same combination for the tags, cards, labels, invitation, etc. It was a fun project to work on and practice my illustrator and photoshop skills. The piñata was a gift and it completed the decor. The home brewed beer was also a wonderful gift and it made the party! Everyone had a great time, especially our girl.

Rainbow birthday Sweetscape

Since our sweet Addelyn has to share her birthday with the holiday season we wanted a theme that was still colorful and festive but not CHRISTMAS! I know that rainbow parties are all the craze these days but I figured a first birthday with a color theme would be the most appropriate. We had tons of fun with it.
