Hey sweet friends! This week we have a super lush ' baking themed ' party week for ya! So prepare to be dazzle with the eye candy ;) My kids love to bake with me, and when I was designing Bird's Party latest Baking Party Printables , I realized there aren't many ' boy-friendly' baking parties out there, and there should be! There are lots of girly, frilly decorations, so I wanted to design and style something cute, but that would appeal to boys or girls and twins of any age. Come to think of it, these baking party ideas would also be cool for play dates, classroom activities, or a twins birthday ?!
As a designer, I relish the chance to create unique printables, to push myself and challenge my abilities. Bird's Party Magazine offers me a chance to do just that. Not only we always have to come up with new and exciting ideas for each issue, but I also get to work with some incredible, talented stylists who's vision and unique events always push me to give it my all and venture out of my comfort zone .
As part of our inspiration week, we couldn't finish without a super fun theme for the boys . Or girls for that matter, 'cause we actually get just as many sweet customers styling it for their birthday girls ! In fact, the theme came about from my own love of science . You probably don't know this, but I used to be an chemical engineer before parties took over my life...anyways, I relished the chance to design something that included a lab coat, molecular structure designs, and the good ol' test tube . Not to mention a nod to the Periodic Table ! :) Here are some party ideas to help inspire your own science-filled Blue and Green Mad Scientist Bash !
This color party theme has to be one of my favorites. I think it has a lot to do with my love of red and all things 'toadstools' . Don't ask me to reason with you, but there's just something so whimsical about them! Anyways, if you're also mad on this birthday party or color palette, then here's are some ideas for a woodland themed Little Red Riding Hood inspired birthday party . And yes, it's all about themed party inspiration this week. What's not to ♥?!
On with our nautical theme, and excited to share the latest candy buffet post styled by the guys at Candy Galaxy - Just love the fun props and themed candy used (like chocolate seashell and Swedish fish!) and the Nautical printables too of course! ;) Check out all the eye candy and inspiration below, including full shopping list to help you re-create this look!
Okay, so some of us are still feeling the chill, but what better way to escape to sunnier climes than with a little Nautical inspired party eye candy ?! I've been nursing a cold since last week (boooo), and am determined to lift my spirits anyway I can, so visualization of all things "summery and hot" totally gets my vote! Besides, I know for a fact, that our Aussie, Brazilian and southern hemisphere party friends will also appreciate the post! ;)
In keeping with this week's party theme, here are some ideas I put together very last minute using our NEW Lego Inspired party printables !

Styling a memorable birthday party or summer play date for your kids can mean a great deal of preparation. So we've put together a few easy and quick tips and ideas to helping you pull off a fun, creative and unique Cupcake Decorating Party – perfect for boys or girls of any age!
I styled this mini desserts table for the July/August edition of the French national magazine, Créative . And when choosing a theme, strawberries just seemed the perfect match for a seasonal and super sweet table! Needless to say, I LOVED styling it - not only did I get to design and shoot a brand new printable party theme in another language, but I also got to play with fondant. A lot! And fondant is kinda like modelling clay for grown ups ;) Another fun aspect is that I had baked all the desserts myself (yes, that is fun for me..), from the cookies to the marshmallow pops, the strawberry cookies, cake and cupcakes !! (scroll down to see the recipe links).
