This party was styled by Whitney from Bon Fortune for two special boys. The little brother has overcome a neurological speech disorder called Apraxia. For this joint birthday party, the family decided to give back to the speech center that helped him instead of accepting gifts. We love how the theme of the party was a “Strong Man” themed carnival party to celebrate the strength of the boys. Sweet treats on the dessert table included…

A dessert table included sweet treats like peanut butter and jelly bars, mini apple pies, cookie and milk parfaits and a naked cake. We love the “#2 is on the way” flags on the #2 pencils! …

Vintage Baseball Guest Dessert Feature
Jennifer of BellaGrey Designs styled this vintage baseball party for her son’s birthday and we think it is a home run! Jennifer used astro turf and duct tape to turn a simple table into baseball diamond. We love the peanuts in their shells and how she brought in baseball equipment like gloves and balls for decoration. The little sluggers snacked on hot dogs, cotton candy and Cracker Jacks. Jennifer also had candy waxed bottles, pinstriped…

Little Rascals Guest Dessert Feature
This party was definitely a nod to nostalgia for me. I LOVED the Little Rascals. I remember sitting in my living room and laughing at Stymie, Alfalfa, Spanky and Buckwheat and all of the the trouble they got themselves into. And then there was Darla. How great was Darla? This party was styled by one of our readers, Michelle, for her 4 year old son! Michelle was inspired by the original “Our Gang” of the…

Up In The Air Guest Dessert Feature
How awesome is this airplane party styled by Karolina from Karo’s Fun Land for her son’s birthday party? We think the design works for both adult and kid parties. We love how she mixed diagonal, vertical and horizontal stripes. Her use of different stripes plus other patterns like chevron and dots works here because she also brought in a lot of white to give the eyes a little rest from the much pattern.This is a…

Sound the alarm because we are about to set Sweet Designs on fire! Amanda from Red Wagon Events was asked by her client to create a vintage fire engine theme for her two children (a boy and girl) that were turning one and three. Amanda set up a dessert table and a thirsty firefighter drink station. Like the post we showed you this morning, the fabulous backdrop highlighted the table and really made the colors…

Ice Cream Guest Dessert Feature
Catherine from Serendipity Soiree styled this vintage firetruck dessert table for her son and husband who have birthdays just three days apart. Since ice cream is a treat that can span the generation gap, Catherine mixed a vintage truck theme with an ice cream float bar for her “men.” She kept both the party and the dessert table small. You don’t have to create a huge table to make a GIANT statement. We love the …

Ruffles & Pink Guest Dessert Feature
Our theme today is clearly pink submissions from Australia. This one came to us from Allison of Allison Lawson Cakes. She created this dessert table for a morning tea that she hosted in honor of a friend’s birthday. We love how Allison used an antique tea set left to her by her grandmother. All of the sweets and cakes were baked by Allison, except for the macarons which were purchased from a local patisserie. A…

The table was made by Glenda’s husband out of a door and four legs that they found in the vintage stores. They painted the door blue and then distressed and glazed it. The DIY “SWEETS” burlap sign added an old fashioned touch. We love the how the…

You Give Good Love Guest Dessert Feature
I know that I am not alone in my sadness over the death of Whitney Houston on Saturday. There are certain artists that add to the soundtrack of your life and for me, Whitney was one of them. On the eve of Valentine’s Day, we are bringing a little love to you with some more Valentine’s Day inspiration. With all of the hearts, we thought this table is fitting for Whitney’s iconic song, “You Give…

This party was sent to us by Michelle at The Social Event Company, which was styled by her partner Jacky. This table would be great for a masculine birthday party, corporate event, or an event for a photographer. Jacky used chocolate brown as her focus for the dessert bar.

Whimsical Guest Dessert Feature
It is rainy in NYC today and this dreamy shoot from Aleishia from Pretty My Love is cheering us up. To create a whimsical feel, Aleishia used a vintage desk for the sweets table and a Pepsi crate for the favors. She filled apothecary jars with candy to give the table a light and airy feel. We love the pretty pink lemonade in the apothecary jar dispenser. Sweet treats included cake in a jar, coconut…

We have another pretty dessert feature on the blog today. This one is from Dewi of Sweet Bloom Cakes, who created an elegant dessert table for her friend’s wedding. The beachfront venue, The Boat House in Sydney Palm Beach, was the perfect setting for the event. Dewi chose a romantic palette of pinks, greens and neutrals, and accessorized the dessert table with pink peonies, milk glass stands and burlap. It worked so well with the…

We’re not the biggest fans of circus parties, but we think this French vintage take on the traditional circus theme is pretty chic. Michelle from Social Event Planning Co used red and black to show off thick striped and polka dot patterns. Sweet treats included circus staples such as red candy apples, cotton candy and lollipops, as well as donut pops and Bakerella-inspired cake pops. We love the popcorn topiaries and think they were the…

Last Train to Aidansville Guest Dessert Feature
All aboard the Aidan Express. This featured submission came to us from Belinda from Styled By Belle, who created this party for her son’s 3rd birthday. Her son loves Thomas the Tank, so she knew she wanted to subtly incorporate the theme into the party without making it too commercial. To start, guests were greeted by the “Sir Topham Hatt”. Cargo crates were used as vessels and the confections were transported in a train built…
