Baking Birthday Party Ideas For Girls or Boys
Hey sweet friends! This week we have a super lush ' baking themed ' party week for ya!

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 ?!

Rainbow Jelly Bean Birthday Party Ideas
I ( Mindy ) live in northern California and one of our family’s favorite outings is to the jelly belly factory ! Aubrey was so excited about this theme for her party {and so was her brother ... my little guy has lots of allergies and jelly belly beans are vegan and safe for him to enjoy too} and since Aubrey’s birthday occurred in the middle of writing my book, I relied quite a bit on the incredible vendors (listed at the end) to help make her day special! I also relied on a simple color scheme: Rainbow ! The Jelly Bean Printables were designed by Bird’s Party - the jelly bean and striped patterns were exactly what I was looking for – and they were just perfect!
