I love parties based off of books, especially one of Dr. Seuss’s books. The Cat in the Hat is a classic. Sonali Mazmanian of Simply Sweet cakes and Cupcakes created a fantastic party for her daugher’s first birthday. Because her daughter was born the day before her husband’s birthday, she thought she would create a special cake just for him for the party! All the decorations and signs were handcrafted on her own, and she did a spectacular job with them and also the cakes she created! Check out these neat birthday party ideas based on the book!
See that cake!? Simply Sweet Cakes and Cupcakes made that!
The detail is a.m.a.z.i.n.g! It looks like it popped out of one of Dr. Suess’s books!
Here is the husband’s cake: Sac Boy from ‘Little Big Planet’ was made to look like Kratos from ‘God of War’. What a neat collaboration!

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!
