A Vintage Carnival Birthday Party


By Leslie
·
February 14th, 2012

I had the honor of contributing to this absolutely lovely birthday party for a darling little one-year-old in my life.  Liat is the daughter of my uber-talented friend Tania.  When Tania and I collaborated, we knew we needed something special.  See, almost all of my friends have children (see me with kids and  baby showers for proof!) and of all of them, Liat is one of the only girls!  Wandering though Michael’s one day, as we often do, Tania and I spotted these vintage looking carnival masks that inspired the whole party.

The Location: Downtown Los Angeles on this gorgeous terrace.

Activities: There was swimming, handmade pinwheels, an artist doing characachers, and a balloon artist as well.

The Drinks: Sticking to the vintage theme, there was Mexican coke, orange soda, and sparkling water.

IMG_7060-webOh yeah, and of course there was food too :)

Menu: popcorn:

IMG_7065-webThe dessert table was covered with brown butcher paper and decorated with felt ric-rac trim.  Here are a few dessert details:

These are yellow cupcakes with cream cheese frosting which I dyed.  I was going for pink, but ended up with a more purple shade…

    Wow the cupcakes look absolutely amazing, how much did all of those cost to make? I am doing a similar birthday party for my son, is it possible that you could advise a recipe.
