What little girl hasn’t loved playing paper dolls? Imagine that your mom is a fabulous baker and just happens to be able to whip up doll cookies complete with fondant dress up clothes so that you and your friends can now play with “paper” dolls and enjoy the yumminess of a cookie! Enjoy the beautiful work of Linda, of Bubble and Sweet, and see this adorable party she hosted for her daughter’s 5th birthday!
Nestled among the beautiful table are the cookies made to look like the birthday girl and the fondant clothing that the guests could choose to decorate their cookie doll.
The girls in action~
While they “worked”, the guest had several other treats to enjoy! Pink with white polka dots led the way to make for so many gorgeous goodies!
I love the glasses of milk- really beautiful! The marshmallows in the milk resemble polka dots…
The cake was made by mom Linda and included ombre icing and a cake bunting made from the artwork used to create the fondant dress-up pieces. So clever!
With a polka-dot surprise on the inside!
The original artwork used to create the dress up clothes…
Here is the real doll- the birthday girl!
And her sweet guests with some of their cookie “paper dolls”…
Such an original idea for a party! Thank you, Bubble and Sweet, for sharing this beautiful party!

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party! For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!

It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN! Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”.

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time! My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun! Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes! For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor! So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child!
LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY
What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books! I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series. It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie! Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way. At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books, and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
CAMILLE’S CLUBHOUSE ~ Confectionery, Soda Shoppe, Spa
My daughter had lots of ideas of what she wanted to do to celebrate her 10th birthday! She wanted to have lots of cookies~ and have a soda shoppe ~ and set up a spa for nail painting! With so many ideas, I knew we should come up with something that would tie it all together. And, that is how Camille’s Clubhouse became the theme- the Clubhouse is where you can find lots of her favorite things! We sent invitations with a an insert that had a “password” that had to be unscrambled and brought to the party for “entry”. That was an easy way to get the guests involved before the party even started!
