1950's Diner Party!

1950's Diner Party ~ Full Party Post
                                   My sweet little girl just had her birthday, and we celebrated in 1950's diner style!

Cake design by Izzy! I crafted every little food from fondant and sugar paste to create a 1950's diner counter top. I made the sign and other edible elements, to match our 50's backdrop.

We had so much fun planning and constructing every detail of this party! Elvis tunes played in the background while we enjoyed burgers, fries and milkshakes!

The Desserts...
Desserts:
  • Izzy's Diner Cake with three flavs of cake~ chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, reminiscent of the traditional milkshake flavors.

Using black foam board and white chalk, Izzy and I created this 1950's counter top backdrop.  This design was a popular 50's counter top.  Vintage soda bottles are a great addition to this 50's party.

I'm all shook up, over these adorable pegs from Jenny of www.craftthatparty.blogspot.com

We used real flooring tiles attached to cardboard for the flooring, real diner stools(someday in my bakery storefront,) and constructed the Izzy's Diner sign from foam board and Christmas lights. 
 
We had so much fun creating all of these unique party elements!

We always enjoy dressing up for our parties!!!

Chevron & Polka Dot 1st Birthday

Chevron and Polka Dot 1st Birthday
in Pink and Aqua

   I just love helping friends style great parties! 
I usually just get to make the cake and some yummy favors, but sometimes I dabble on the crafty side of things.  Here is a Chevron and Polka Dot 1st birthday bash, styled by myself and Rachel Bankaci.

The original cake design is by the talented and sweet Maria of Love and Sugar Kisses http://lovesugarkisses.blogspot.com/ 

The ruffled garland is by the sweetest party gal I know, Jenny from Craft That Party http://craftthatparty.blogspot.com/

Rachel put together the adorable favors, bags by www.polkadotmarket.com and chevron spoons by www.shopsweetlulu.com

I made the 12month banner, birthday girl banner and flowers for the centerpieces.  Lots of fun in chevron and polka dots.  We found a lot of the items at Michael's.  The pretty pink poms by www.polkadotmartket.com
