Colorful summer birthday party

For my son’s 2nd birthday, I wanted to make something as bright and fun as his personality.  We made him a strawberry cake (with freeze-dried strawberries), ombre strawberry buttercream and strawberries on top!  I went vaguely for a tropical theme, hence the flamingos and bright colors.  I tried to stick to pinks, blues and purples. I also made him the pastel iridescent garland and the giant balloon arch (though I ordered the supplies on Etsy).  We also made rice krispies treats for the kids in attendance.  The sparkly blue  ‘2’ candle was also from Etsy.  We had an electronic picture frame flipping through pictures of the past year on the table as well.
