A second birthday party with the theme of cupcakes and polka dots! Colors were purple, lavender, and hot pink. Food served included chili, mac-n-cheese, veggies, and fruit. A cupcake bar was used for the dessert!

My name is Kathy Sanders. I am a daughter, sister, wife, and mother. Growing up I was often the go-to person for planning social events for my family and friends. I enjoyed all the details involved in throwing a fabulous event.
After planning my own wedding in 2006, I was hooked on planning! Since then I have planned various events here and there, all the while growing my passion for parties. Then came my daughter’s first birthday party and I fell head over heels in love with do-it-yourself party printables. What a wonderful way to make any party a one of a kind event!
I have always loved crafts and DIY projects. I enjoy learning how to make something and adding my own personal flare to it.
Baking is one of my favorite things to do. From cookies, cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, and everything in between. I promise to share my baking explorations along the way!

Such a cute idea! A question about the decorating… sometimes it’s hard to get toppings to stick unless you decorate them immediately after applying the icing. Did you use a special frosting recipe, frost them right before guests arrived, or did it just work out?

Mischa,
Thanks Mischa! I baked all the cupcakes the day before and stored them in air tight containers. Then the morning of the party I whipped up my favorite buttercream icing recipe from Johnny Gabriel’s Cooking in the South cookbook. I frosted them about 3 hours before the party started. The toppings stuck beautifully! Any leftover cupcakes were stored in air tight containers and were still fresh days later.

Hi! I like what you did on your daughter’s 2nd birthday! Im from the Philippines and have been visiting project nursery for ideas on how to go about my daughter’s 1st birthday.Like you, I have been organizing events (weddings most especially) I’m excited to do my first child’s birthday and you just gave me ideas and inspiration. I don’t need to buy lots of apothecary jars anymore, thanks to you:) I just need to learn how to bake my first real big cake now. You did a nice job on the decorations too.
