Kate Petronis knows her cakes (in fact, my son calls her “Cake Petronis”)…but she also knows exactly how to whip up Cake Pops, Cupcakes, Rice Krispie Treats and more in the CUTEST way! Kate put together a Candy Corn Halloween party for her darling little girls and their friends, and I am thrilled to share it with you!
The cupcakes above are so clever- use orange cupcake wrappers and then dip “Top Hat” cupcakes in yellow and white candy melts.
The Rice Krispie Treats are one of my favorite desserts that Kate did- they are so easy but look great with icing piped on top! Just cut the treats into triangles and pipe away with candy corn colors!
Candy Corn Cake Pops topped with a gingham ribbon couldn’t look sweeter!
Kate tempered the sweetness with salty by serving Cheese Puffs- how cute are the ruffled crepe paper cups?
Painted pumpkins stacked and made into a topiary add height, whimsy, and candy-corn-colors to the display!
The adorable favor boxes were tiered boxes that Kate covered with scrapbook paper and filled with Halloween treasures that she picked-up last year at clearance sales after Halloween. A great tip for a more economical party favor!
Kate’s daughters were wearing shirts that used the same graphic design from the party paper- Kate’s mom made a transfer and applied it to the shirts…
Here is Kate and one of her little Candy Corn Girls being silly~
I love Kate’s mix of chevron, polka dots, and gingham to make the party bright and cheery and as sweet as candy! Thank you for sharing your fabulously cute Halloween ideas! So much fun!!

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party! For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!

It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN! Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”.

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time! My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun! Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes! For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor! So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child!
LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY
What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books! I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series. It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie! Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way. At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books, and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
Birthday Party Ideas for a Teen- How to Celebrate a TEEN
Wow! My daughter turned into a teen! Sometimes it can be tricky to decide what to do to celebrate this milestone. I wanted to share with you some ideas that may help if you want to mark the occasion but also keep it low-key. At first, my daughter wanted to have a very large sleepover to celebrate. I loved it that she wanted to include everyone she knew, but laughed at the thought of trying to corral close to 30 tweens and teens! So, I told her she could have a little, bitty, teeny sleepover and her “real” party could be bubble soccer (which she had been begging to do at this huge sleepover she was planning ). So, realizing the play on words with a “teeny” party, we went with the TEENY theme and used as many miniature things as we could. It was such a fun theme and the ideas could go on forever…but this is what we decided on for her teeny, little sleepover.
