Cookie

Our good friends own an apple orchard so we decided it would be a great place to hold an apple themed birthday party in the fall.  The trees were full of appes, cider was brewing and donuts were hot!

All little boys love robots and I tried to create this one with a modern twist to a classic theme. We added vintage antique robots collected by Logan’s dad to the dessert table and had food to resemble “robot” parts. Red licorice wheels, gumballs, cosmic cookies and more for all to enjoy! Logan’s favorite food is french fries, so I created custom french frie cones to match the table fabric. We  created arts and crafts projects using robot cut outs. The kids had fun gluing and glittering them and then we hing them up to create a “home made” banner for all to enjoy. Fun “global” blow up balls were a fun toy for all the kids to play with and then take home as one of the favors.

For this party, I wanted the dessert table to help capture the children’s imagination just a Barbie does. So, I tried to design it as though it was actually a place in Barbie’s house.  I found the perfect black and white striped fabric, for the background, which called back to Barbie’s original bathing suit. And then I chose a dressing table to display the sweets and used it as inspiration for many of the other elements. First I found the most beautiful corset cookies and chose to stand them up like a wardrobe of gorgeous Barbie dresses and displayed them in and around a jewelry box. I had the cake pops standing up in a make up bag like beautiful lip glosses. And I created a silhouette, inspired by the classic vintage Barbie silhouette, and used it as one of the icons for the party as I designed the paper goods.  To create the “floral” centerpiece for the dressing table, I was lucky enough to find the perfect marshmallow roller pops .  The favor table was laden with fabulous accessories which I was able to find in the Target dollars bins… pearl necklaces, bracelets, flower headbands, gloves and even little purses to hold all the goodies!
