Ethan's 3'rd Birthday: Disney Cars Sweets Table

My little man turned three last Thursday...we hosted his birthday party on Saturday and had such a blast! Ethan loves anything with wheels and his favorite movie is Cars, so it seemed like the perfect theme. Today I will focus on the sweets table I made. I chose red and blue as the primary color scheme with black and white (checkered flags) as the accents. The dessert table featured chocolate and vanilla cupcakes that I made along with various candies and treats. I love how a sweets table creates such wonder and smiles with the kids. You always expect cake and ice cream at a party, which is fine, but I like to add a little extra. All baked goods were made by me except the sugar cookies which were supplied by my sister. I will be back to share other parts of the party!

Tea Party

This past April I hosted a tea party for my birthday. This idea had been in the back of my mind for 4 years and I am so happy I was able to put it together. I served a light lunch which included finger sandwich's, fresh fruit and veggies and potato salad and an assortment of desserts. I offered both hot and iced teas for the guest's. I used a mix of homemade and store bought food items so i wouldn't be so overwhelmed. I pulled all the platers and china from my collection and borrowed a few items from my mom. I really enjoyed creating this party and was happy with the end result.

Hello party people!

Thanks for dropping by my blog. I have been inspired by many people showcasing their talents in the party world and wanted a venue to present my work too.
