Kate Petronis blows me away with her cake designs and parties every time! This Mickey Mouse Carnival Party (at Cinderella’s Castle) combines her daughter’s love for princesses and Mickey in a BIG way! The cake itself is jaw-dropping…the details adorable…and the energy, talent and creativity of Kate- endless!
Kate designed, baked, and decorated this topsy-turvy, eye-popping, full-of-Disney-characters cake to celebrate her daughter’s 3rd birthday! It is just amazing!
I just love how so many characters are represented in the cake! Kate says her daughter’s favorite books are about the Disney characters, and they read them over and over. I can only imagine how fun it is to see you mom make a cake for you that includes all of your storytime favorites!
I think if I were able to make a cake like this, it would be about the only thing that I could pull off for the party…but, no, Kate creates an entire party full of perfect details that wow you at every glance! Such as the cake pops…
…and cupcakes!
Kate used the fabulous paper designs by Amanda’s Parties to Go- they pop with vivid color and creativity!
I really love how dressed up the table settings were. Kate included every little detail! The chairs were covered in the cutest way, the plates couldn’t get any better!
Because the party was a carnival, guests each received their tickets as they arrived and were encouraged to play lots of carnival games and to choose their prizes from the very decked-out prize table…
The Prize Table~
Notice how Kate spelled out OLIVIA’s name by turning each letter into a Disney character!
There were so many prizes to choose- such as bubbles, frisbees, candy bars, and more!
Kate invited Mickey and Cinderella to the party (of course!)- I just love the look on the Birthday Girl’s face when she is about to get a crown from Cinderella!
The party favor boxes are adorable~
And, here is gorgeous Kate with her beautiful and happy little Birthday Girl! Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us, Kate! What a fun day for Olivia!!

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!”.
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!
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!
