Real Events: Cooks in the Kitchen – A Baking Themed 6th Birthday Party

We love it when clients come back year after year, although it can present a challenge in the theme department. We have to kick the creativity up a notch so that each event feels fresh and new. This year one of our favorite Posh Kids, Parker Bella, turned 6 and her mom and I devised a girly, baking theme to keep the girls entertained.

We used a fun color palette of Parker’s favorite colors – lavender and turquoise adding a little yellow for accent. The tables took on a whimsical
feel with centerpieces that used baking supplies and mini “cookbooks”.  We kept it girly by adding  jewels to the place cards and goblets and little cupcake charms to the napkin holders. The water bottles were dressed up with mini wisks fashioned out of ribbon.

 

The party started with an apron decorating activity that the girls really enjoyed. Personalized aprons were embellished with glitter glue,
felt shapes and letters.

The cake was created to coordinate with the invitations and featured baking supplies made from fondant and finished with a satin sheen.

Each girl got her very own cloth chef hat to wear (and take home!) before we got to work on the food. Three stations were set up for the
girls to rotate through and they each made fruit skewers, tea sandwiches and best of all cookies!  The girls were able to immediately enjoy
the fruits of their labor as they sat down to eat the treats they had prepared. After the cake was served each guest received a set of mini
cooking tools to take home along with their chef hats. It was a delicious day of fun for Parker Bella and her friends.

Let Them Eat Cake! A Hello Kitty Inspired Baking Soiree

A Baking Party for Leilani

One of the best, although admittedly more time consuming, parts of my job is designing custom themes for my clients. Every once in a while I get an idea that challenges me to get really creative. This time it was 11 year old Leilani, an aspiring pastry chef. She wanted to have a birthday party centered on cake decorating but that also included her favorite design elements from the Hello Kitty! Bonjour Paris! collection. Hmmm.

First we had to incorporate all of her favorite colors and those in the Bonjour Paris collection: pink, tiffany blue, light green, purple and yellow. Next, we needed to get the Parisian feel in there and represent Kitty without using the tacky paper products and plastic do dads.  Finally, we needed to include a decorating demonstration that would focus in on the very specific techniques for decorating with fondant that Leilani was interested in sharing with her friends.  Enter my two life savers: Debra Buker of Whimsical Originals and Dorothy Norris AKA Chef Dorothy.  Deb designed a gorgeous (Leilani’s words!) invitation that captured the feel of the event and used the Hello Kitty image in a tasteful (posh) way. Chef Dorothy worked with our client to develop a comprehensive design instruction that kept the girls engaged for the entire two hours. It was a hit! Check out some of the posh details.
