Lauren's First Birthday

Kelly at Kelly's" Korner Blog has started a fun idea called "Show Us Where You Live Friday" This week the theme is children's birthday parties. Not really a room in your house but that is ok! Maybe she will change the name of the carnival. So anyways I am going to show you Lauren's first birthday part. I did a cupcake theme.

This is the invite that I made myself for Lauren's party!! I found one similar that I liked online and it was kind of expensive so I got my creative thinking cap and got to work. :)


A sign that I ordered online. It matches the plates and cups. Some of them had stripes on them and the others had the cupcake that looks just like the one on the invitations.



The food table.


The Giant Cupcake that I made for Lauren's smash cake. I got a pan from Target that is in the shape of a cupcake bottom and top. You put the two together and a giant cupcake! This was a big hit. Everyone loved it.

For the "cake" for the guests I did Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes. What I did was make cake batter and then fill the ice cream cones and bake.

Lauren opening her presents. I just love her smile!! She did so good throughout her whole party with as many people as we had packed into our house.

She was so tired that she didn't want to get into her smash cake. She cried everytime that I put her down on the floor to try and do it. So I gave her one of the ice cream cone cupcakes instead.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you will check out all of the other birthday parties over at Kelly's Korner.
