Moms definitely deserve to have their cakes and to eat them, too! Indulge your favorite mom friends with a Mother/Daughter Cake and Champagne drop in party and treat them to something sweet. I set up the dessert table with cakes, cupcakes, and cotton candy in front of a wall of playful art by artist Hunt Slonem. To play off of the wall of art, I used items from Hunt’s incredibly fun Hop Up Shop! I added a code for you to use at the bottom so be sure to grab it before you shop!
The cotton candy was topped with edible paper wafer butterflies and served in an antique Majolica vase.
A variety of small cakes makes for a fabulous and impressive display!
Plates for the daughters were adorable bunny portrait plates by Hunt Slonem’s Hop Up Shop – served on a silver tray.
For the moms, I placed a stack of dainty vintage plates- and included silver dessert forks for everyone…
Nestle flowers in between the cake stands to add even more color and beauty.
Serving cupcakes along with the cakes makes it easy for the younger set to handle the treats- and plus they just love the size of cupcakes!
I used a bunny bar bowl to hold flowers to reflect the bunnies on the wall. I often use it for serving small snacks or candies, but it works beautifully as a vase, too! I also use these bowls on my bar cart. Speaking of bar carts, this is where I set up the champagne and drinks area for the mothers and daughters to enjoy a beverage.
I love using a bunny portrait plate as a wine and champagne coaster. I also think the bottle looks fabulous with a bunny napkin!
I tied in the bunnies and butterflies on the bar cart, too. Notice the straws have butterflies similar to the cotton candy? They are edible, wafer paper, butterflies that I add to the straws to amp up the delight of the party.
The bunny glasses are always a big hit with everyone. And, they can even be used as a votive candle holder! They are created to withstand cold and hot temperatures.
Cheers to all of the moms out there- I hope you are treated like royalty on Mother’s Day (and beyond!). Remember to use my code for Hunt Slonem’s Hop Up Shop and save 20% off of your order (excluding books and bundles)! The code is LYDIA20

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!

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!
