A day in Wonderland for a 4-year-old’s birthday is quite a treat for us all! Marie, of Sweets Indeed, has always loved Alice in Wonderland, and she was ecstatic over designing a dessert table for a customer that requested an Alice-inspired party! Marie started by making a tulle table skirt and white pinafore to match the dress that Alice wore…read on for all of the delectable desserts!
Marie used cups and saucers that she found at local stores and glued them together (using E-6000 glue) to make the perfect topsy-turvey displays! Marie decorated them with ribbons and stickers~
Inspiration from the story is used throughout- with cookies to match those that Alice ate and macarons with painted red roses…
Hedgehog cupcakes and cupcakes with flowers added to the sweetness of the day~
And what is an Alice in Wonderland party without a reference to The Mad Hatter? Marshmallow treats in just the right colors!
Marie also added whimsical lanterns and velvet chairs to the surround the dessert table~
The guests were given erasers shaped as tarts for favors~ how appropriate and cute!
Such a fun peek down the rabbit hole! Thank you for sharing this delightful party, Marie!

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
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! So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan! 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!”.

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.
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!
