I spotted this party yesterday on Celebrations at Home and I could not resist sharing it as well. Considering I was just saying how much I love the milk and cookies trend, its easy to see why I was smitten with this party. And well, I’m not the only one loving this adorable first birthday bash. It was recently a finalist in the Most Adorable Party Contest on Creative Hostess. So let’s take a look at this delightful milk and cookies first birthday party, created by Anne Powers of A Party Style.
From the fabulous milk and cookies cake to the jars of milk with animal print straws, this party is so amazingly cute. Don’t even get me started on the birthday girl’s smash cake, made to look like a gigantic cookie. Pure genius! Be sure to get the scoop on all of the details on
Celebrations at Home and
Creative Hostess. Thanks Anne for creating such a charming first birthday!

We’re starting off this week with a sweet treat from Lauri Ditunno and her team at Cake Alchemy. You’re probably already familiar with Lauri’s fabulous work, which is showcased on the WEtv series, Amazing Wedding Cakes. A talented cake designer, Lauri loves bold designs and isn’t afraid of a challenge…. which is why we love her! And today we’re thrilled to feature one of her most recent designs.
Natalie Cole celebrated her 60th birthday last Thursday night and Cake Alchemy created a stunning cake perfect for the Grammy award-winning singer, songwriter and performer. Let’s take a peak!
This cake is sophisticated and classic yet fun and whimsical. Perfect for a music icon, each tier represented a decade of Natalie Cole’s music. On top is a sculpted figurine of the birthday girl, perfect down to the tiny details of her skirt!
A very special thanks to Lauri and the other ladies at Cake Alchemy for sharing this amazing cake with us! We look forward to featuring more of your beautiful work in the future! And a Happy Birthday to Natalie Cole!
Today’s real party is an adorable pinwheel themed birthday created by Sharnel, a mom, blogger and owner of The Cupcake Company in Brisbane, Australia. This delightfully sweet event was created for her son’s 4th birthday. Full of navy and green pinwheels, you’re going to spin over this dessert buffet. Take a look!
If there’s one thing that all great parties have in common, it’s the attention to detail. Looks like Sharnel has got that recipe down pat! From the caramel popcorn to the pinwheel cookies and cake, this party is too perfect.
Be sure to stop by Sharnel’s blog, My Life – My Loves, for the scoop on how to replicate this charming event. A special thanks to Sharnel for the fabulous inspiration!
If you missed my last post, I’m extremely excited about summer! Even though I’m miles away from the ocean… the beach bum in me loves this next design.
‘Hang Ten’ was created based on a Pottery Barn Kids party collection. This two tiered design features light blue buttercream icing and blue fondant waves on the bottom tier. We added the polka dots on the waves to give it a more modern feel. The top tier is a tan buttercream accented with fondant surfboards. Graham cracker sand borders are the finishing touch!
Even though this design was for a first birthday, I think it would be appropriate for any surfer or beach themed party.
A summertime cupcake design to come later today!
