Claire's 1st Birthday Party.

Yesterday we celebrated the 1st Birthday of our little girl Claire. (Read more about the preparations here and here) I have been planning her party since she was about 4 months old, when I purchased her party outfit!

Here are the photo's from her special day!


{ The Candy and Dessert Table }


{ The invitations }


{ The Ruffle Birthday Cake ( custom topper Enchanted Belles) }
 

{ Inside the Birthday Cake - Milk Chocolate and Caramel Layered mudcake)


{ Vanilla Ruffle Cupcakes }

 
 
{ Rocky Road }


{ Pink Smartie Cookies }


{ A selection of goodies on the gorgeous Sambellina party ware }


{ Along with pink candy the girl's were given a little pot of fairy dust }


{ The boy's party boxes }


{ Pink Smarties }
{ ABC Cups from My Little Jedi }


{ Claire's Initial greeted guests at the front door }


{ The Birthday Girl }

If you have made it all the way down to here, thankyou!

The party was a great success and this was partly due to the fabulous suppliers who provided the following:

Sharnel Dollar Designs : tulle pom pom's, round candy jars, party bags, fairy dust, square platters and pink smarties.

Sambellina : party ware and gift tags - Kate was wonderful and posted these directly to me as they were only being shipped to suppliers this week. Thankyou :)

Scissors Paper Rock Designs : invitations, menu labels and party bag labels.

Row's Pottery Shed : custom made cake stand.

Enchanted Belle's :  custom cake topper.

My Little Jedi : divine twine and ABC cups.

Stitcheroos : Birthday outfit.


The dessert table goodies were all made by me. The menu consisted of caramel and chocolate cake balls, vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, pink smartie cookies, rocky road, pink smarties, pink mushrooms and marshmallows as well as the birthday cake. The initial sign and table tu-tu were make by me too.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about Claire's 1st Birthday, it was a joy to create this for our beautiful little girl.

Happy Birthday sweet girl xxx

  17. You look gorgeous Mrs KT..and happy! And doesn't Claire look beautiful? That is one amazing party, I love the silver scoop - I bought two recently and you've given me an idea of how to use them. The cake is magnificent! My husband and I have started watching this show called Cake Boss about a bakery and cake decorating company in New Jersey. It is so funny but also amazing. The boss is such an artist - his cakes are incredible. So are yours, it really is a very artistic talent you have. And don't apologise for not commenting, I've really struggled to keep up with all the blogs I love! I have a look at what you're doing but don't always get back to comment..Rachaelxx

  22. Wow, this party looks amazing! It is so so cute! Hey I was just wondering if you could help me out with doing the ruffles on the cake? What kind of tip did you use? Also, where did you find the adorable cake topper? If you could let me know I would really appreciate it! I am trying to get ideas for my little girls 3rd birthday party in a couple of weeks. my email is jeffplusnat@gmail.com - thank you!
