For my daughter's 10th birthday party this year, we had a little bit of this and a little bit of that! I have to say, turning 10 marks a special time- the excitement of a decade and double-digits for the birthday girl and a lot of nostalgia for the parents! I can't tell you how many times one of us has said, "I cannot believe our little girl is 10!" TEN! So, we invited a few friends over to celebrate in "Camille's Clubhouse"- and in her Clubhouse we incorporated her wishes for her birthday party...here is the first part of her party photos. Camille's Confectionery! Enjoy!
I divided the party into three different sections in our home. There was the sweet shoppe that we called "Camille's Confectionery". In the Confectionery, there were lots of the birthday girl's favorite sweets~
These little beauties were made by MimiCafe Union NY~ they were fondant toppers made for our miniature pudding parfaits...
I found the tiny, green, depression-glass dessert serving pieces at a local antique shop. They were just the right size for a small serving and looked beautiful with the toppers!
We had loads of beautiful sugar cookies that were decorated by My Little Bakery, Sweet Goosie Girl, and Better Bit of Butter...
And... beautiful and really fun cakes by Kathi at My Sweet Things!
We had a chocolate cake with pastel cookie "dots" and a pastel ruffled cake with fabulous ice cream sundaes made of fondant. The fondant toppers are from Brenda at Sugar High, Inc. and they were amazing!!
The chocolate cake was topped off with a cake banner from Loralee Lewis~
I love the stacked cookies by Better Bit of Butter- they are always a favorite!
These number 10 cookies were gorgeous- My Little Bakery decorated a 1 and a 0 and I tied them together with sheer ribbon...
And fabulous birthday cake cookies!
Sweet swirled candy cookies were also a big hit! The sparkling sugar crystals made these cookies lots of fun!
And, more fabulous, glittery cookies by Sweet Goosie Girl were truly a perfect 10!
Some of my daughter's favorite candies...
My daughter loves kitties and so I wanted to have a cute kitten as part of her Confectionery~ MimiCafe Union NY delivered! Originally, Camille asked if we could have cake pops at her party but then also asked for doughnut holes. And, so we went with doughnut holes decorated with these adorable little kittens!
These were some of my favorite little additions to the sweets! I loved it that Camille could "make" these by inserting the straw and then adding the kitties with a little dot of frosting...
The guests were able to go through Camille's Confectionery, pick out their favorite choices, and put them in their baskets to take home and enjoy...
For the baskets, I ordered wooden baskets from Save On Crafts and then the kids and I painted them to match the party colors~
This photo makes me laugh a little, because the table looks a little off-kilter and bumped around- but it gives you a general idea of how the table was set-up~
Check back soon for the next round of photos from the party~ The Soda Shoppe...!
I love showing the talents of these fabulous ladies and their amazing ways with sweets! Thank you to all of you who helped make Camille's Confectionery a culinary treat for all of us! We LOVE it and are grateful for you!
