Thank you so much for the lovely comments on the
Part 1 of Miss C's First Birthday post. If you are wondering what Part 1 was about, you can catch more details about the party, why I chose the theme, who designed the printed materials and just view more photos of the event
here.
Today I am going to share a few more details about the food and drink side of things!
The main feature of the event was the Dessert/Candy buffet table that I designed and put together ( a little under the weather with my pregnancy sickness mind you!).
On this table we had an assortment of candies/lollies, wrapped chocolate, cookies and cupcakes- all that matched the soft pink, gold and white theme.
I don't think you can have a party without jelly - so we had some pots of pale pink jelly on the table with super cute Minnie spoons created by
Merc and Jones.
The personalised wrapped chocolate bars were simply Aldi Choceur bars that were wrapped with a personalised wrapper by
Mint Imprint. This design co-ordinated with the candy jar tags, banner and table signs. More details on the printed materials over in the Part 1
post if you missed it.
I had someone ask me specifically about the lollipops on the table. These were purchased for $1 from Kmart. They weren't a perfect colour match, but with a cute little sticker they easily tied in with the table theme.
The cake was made by
BJ Cakes who also did the super cute mini cupcakes too. The inside was a Chocolate Mudcake and it was divine!
The cake topper was designed by
Merc and Jones who used the same font as the printed banner to ensure a consistent look (I am a sucker for matchy, matchy!). They also did the little 'Chloe' and Minnie Mouse head cupcake toppers too.
One of my favourite things on the table has to be these cookies created by
Sweet Creations by Sharms - how adorable are they?! I have had the pleasure of working with Sharmila on nearly every single party/event I have had over the years (big or small) and she is just beautiful to work with and a pretty darn handy cake maker too!
Sweet Creations by Sharms also made these divine macarons. I always love to have macs on my table and inevitably they are the first thing eaten, especially when they look this good!
We also had a second, less styled table at the party. This table was primary for beverages, but also had the plates, cutlery etc.
You can see below that there were some empty spots for the little dishes friends and family kindly donated to the party - some hot finger food, fruit skewers and an amazing cheese platter were added to the table after this picture was snapped.
Pink and gold bubbles for the adults were very popular. Unfortunately this mamma (being 9 weeks pregnant) had to go without.
My beverage dispensers were filled with water and my Festive Fizz punch (non alcoholic version). If you are after a crowd pleasing drink at your next event - this is it! You can grab the recipe
here, never lets me down!
Another super easy sweet treat that I put together were these rice krispie treats - so easy and so yum!
Also on the table, my strawberry mouse with super cute Minnie spoons. I always try and stick with items that can be made ahead the night before so that on the day all I have to do is set everything up and enjoy the party.
I think that covers all of the food and drink details. Don't forget if you want more details, feel free to check out Post 1

Of course if you have any questions, please feel free to comment below. I cannot believe I am now just over 3 months away from having Mr T's 1st birthday. Time to get cracking on that...
