~ Birthday Party ~ The Avengers

Here I have one party for boys to show you! The AVENGERS Birthday Party.

 

 

 

I created these designs for a talented Party Planner from Colombia...My mom.

 Yes, she styled this party for her friend's grandson 5th birthday. 

 

 

I really like the cake and the Captain American Shield cookies.

 

I got the task to create the printable designs for the party: I designed water bottle labels, Thank you tags and food labels. 

 

 

  

My mom made a balloon wall backdrop.  Covering the walls can really add a festive touch to any party – you can use balloons, fabric, murals..

 

 Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man and the Handsome Thor, they were all at the party!

 

The AVENGERS printable party collection is now available in the shop! 

 

The Avengers party supplies can be purchased online at Birthday Express

~Party Ideas~ Mario Kart wii Party Pinterest Board

 I just wanted to show you what I did today
{well is past 12 now, so I guess what I did yesterday}...

...I did a 'photo shoot' with my Mario Kart Printable Party designs

What do you think? Do you like it?

I'm having so much fun coming up for ideas for boys parties!

I was thinking of foods and sweets that can be served at a Mario Kart Themed party for my  food/sweet table labels and with my daughter's help, together we came up with these:

Jello Peach or anything with Peaches {for Princess Peach Food labels}

Banana Split or Banana shaped candy {One of the characters is a Banana Peel}

Pizza, Pasta {I think Luigi and Mario are Italian}

Mushroom Pops {Marshmallow covered in read candy coating and white chocolate chips on the top}

Fruits {My daughter told me Yoshi likes to eat fruits}

She also said the party should have Lots of Cookies because there is a race happening at a 'CookieLand'

Star pops {using star shapped candy molds}

Chocolate shapped mustaches

Chocolate gold coins

~ Birthday Party ~ Pirates!! 1st birthday party and Pirate pops Tutorial

 I've been meaning to post these pictures for a while. Ivano turned one in October and his mom and I thought a Pirate Party was the perfect theme to celebrate his birthday. 

I had so much fun planning all the details of this party and I love how everything turned out!

 Ivano loves balloons and we had tons of them!

 We wanted to have a "cute" rather than "scary" pirate theme,

that's why we chose the color palette to be sky blue, white and red.  

I made the cupcakes and designed the cupcake toppers to match the decor.

  

  

I made the most adorable rice krispie pops in the shape of little pirate faces

{Tutorial here}

The tables were decorated with tons of chocolate gold coins, pirate eyepatches,

 gold necklaces and gold wrapped Hershey kisses {pretend gems}.

 I also made the water bottle labels to match the pirate party theme.

We wrapped the party favors in white and red stripes paper and decorated with a raffia bow and made to match Thank you tags.  

 All of the pirate party supplies were purchased at the party packagers here in Canada.

 Pirate party supplies can be also purchased online at Birthday express.   

  All of the pirate printable collection now available at my Etsy store.

 

These boy party ideas were also featured on Spaceships and Laser Beams.

~ Cake Craze ~ Anthony's Thomas The Train 4th Birthday Cake

My friend Laura asked me to make a cake for her son Anthony's 4th Birthday Party.  Anthony is a big fan of Thomas the Train. I used the towering tiers cake stand from Wilton.  I really like this stand because you can either use it for both cakes or cupcakes or a combination of both.

I made orange cupcakes with Dulce de Leche filling {or Arequipe how is called in my country, which is a Caramel-like milk spread that is so yummy!} and buttercream icing. I made the cupcake toppers with Thomas the Train confetti cut-outs.

As for the cake it was the same recipe but I added a touch of Whisky and covered in fondant, it was served to adults only - because of the whisky of course:)

 

I will be posting the orange-caramel cake recipe soon! Thanks Laura for trusting me to make the cake for cutie Anthony.

~ Birthday Party ~ Big Top Circus Ashton's 1st Birthday Party

All the credits for this party are for Timmy, the birthday boy's mom, who organized a Circus themed party to celebrate her son Asthon's first birthday.  This time I just helped a little bit by giving some ideas, but Timmy executed all herself and she did a great job.  

The BIG TOP Circus party supplies and balloons were purchased at Party Packagers.  I love the Circus theme.  There are so many ideas to do and it can really be accommodated for any occasion, for both girls and boys birthday parties, Sweet 16, Baby showers etc...

Did you notice how cute the popcorn bags look on the Elephant display? This was actually a game for the kids to play, but Timmy used it as a Prop for the table.

The Birthday boy's aunt Dayana, baked all the cupcakes. Cupcake wrappers and the Wilton 4-Tier Dessert Stand were purchased at Homesense.  They have a lot of the Wilton  products at a discounted price. Worth to check out if you are looking for baking and cake decorating supplies.

Timmy did the yummi-gummi sticks and used a vase filled with jelly beans to put them in.

Thanks Timmy for sharing with us.  Share with us your party-tales please email us at party-tales{at}rogers.com.  We'd love to feature your party!

~ Birthday Party ~ This Party sure ROCKED! Jackson's Rock Star Party

  

When I saw the pictures of the party that Jessica from Modern Moments designed for her son Jackson,  I was amazed!! and I mean really amazed.  She really thought of everything. The attention to detail was impeccable.  

 

I just love everything about this party, the Cd's invitations and all the party printables that Jessica designed herself were stunning, the favors, the cupcake toppers, the guitar cake, the drum set decorations, the cake pops, and of course the birthday boy himself. {Jackson is such a CUTIE!!}. 

For those of you who don't know, my my brother is a drummer and a Musician in Miami and soon I am going to be an auntie YAY!! So when I saw the pictures of Jackson's birthday, I immediately thought that this would be the perfect theme for my nephew or niece birthday {OK fine I am crazy, the baby hasn't even born yet, and I am already organizing birthday parties...but you need time to plan an amazing party} One thing I am sure, is that  when the time comes I will ask Jessica to design some Rock Star invitations too.. She is a very talented graphic designer. 

THIS PARTY ROCKED!! You can admire all of Jessica's work at her Etsy shop.
