A few weeks ago I put together my daughter’s 4th birthday party. This one was so exciting to plan as I absolutely loooovve making things pretty and pink! I got in touch with my creative crafty side and made tissue paper pom poms (thanks to Martha Stewart’s tutorials), pinwheels which reminded me of my childhood, I even made the cupcake wrappers myself! I cut these out of scrapbook card and laminated them so I can use them again! I made and designed the cupcake toppers and food labels, the invitation, the banner/bunting which unfortunately I didn’t get a photograph of!
Now for all the baking… I made cupcakes (of course), cakepops, coconut ice, marshmallow slice, club sandwiches, teapot cookies, heart shaped sugar cookies… there was also lunch provided for the adults… my amazing husband made seafood chowder, my wonderful mother made a delicious Thai chicken curry, and my lovely sister made some yummy savouries!!
As for the cake… I let Teela choose what kind of cake she wanted… I was hoping she would say one of those beautiful big Barbie cakes or a mermaid cake, but no, all she wanted was a “cupcake” so I thought I would make a giant cupcake! She was so excited when she saw it, she absolutely loved it. My husband wanted a job to do on the cake so I got him to make a chocolate base for the cupcake wrapper… I think he did a brilliant job!
Also, a big thank you to our friend Ben Hunter for the awesome photographs!!

Wow! That is the ultimate girly party - great job! That dessert table is seriously amazing, I bet your daughter loved it!
ReplyDeleteThe giant cupcakes are so much fun aren't they? I did one for my daughter's 2nd birthday and she thought it was awesome.
Hi Hayley!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words :-) yes my daughter absolutely loved her party, and I had so much fun creating it all for her!! Hehe yea, the giant cupcakes are awesome, there's so many different things you can do with them. we ended up using a chocolate shell/base which was kinda tricky, but I've seen some really cool ones made with fondant and buttercream icing!
