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!!

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!

CAMILLE’S CLUBHOUSE ~ Confectionery, Soda Shoppe, Spa
My daughter had lots of ideas of what she wanted to do to celebrate her 10th birthday! She wanted to have lots of cookies~ and have a soda shoppe ~ and set up a spa for nail painting! With so many ideas, I knew we should come up with something that would tie it all together. And, that is how Camille’s Clubhouse became the theme- the Clubhouse is where you can find lots of her favorite things! We sent invitations with a an insert that had a “password” that had to be unscrambled and brought to the party for “entry”. That was an easy way to get the guests involved before the party even started!
