She’s a Sweet One…A year and a couple months later it was time to celebrate Caroline’s first Birthday! I coordinated with Momma and Grandma to pick out colors, decorations, a sweet little touches to make it a memorable celebration!
Cookie Favors for all the guests!
“Honey, ah sugar sugar
You are my candy girl
And you’ve got me wanting you
I just can’t believe the loveliness of loving you.”
Sweet One, Cute as a Cupcake, And Candy Girl Caroline!
Found the adorable cupcake tablecloths at TJMaxx. They matched the party theme perfectly and came in assorted shapes and sizes that we used on the food tables and picnic tables in the backyard!
Birthday Cake complete with “Smash Cupcake” on top!
The Sweet Caroline banner made it’s 3rd appearance after the baby shower and a visit to Caroline’s nursery. It added some extra sweetness to the party along with pictures of baby C during her 1st year. Not too bad for my first Cricut project!
Remember this?! Repurposed baby shower decor for the win!
The Candy Bar! To go along with our sweets theme we created a candy buffet that doubled as decor. We combined different shaped glass containers and filled them with assorted treats that guest could scoop out as if they were in a candy shop. Ginny found the cutest picture frame to showcase the birthday girl and the fun cupcake art she added to the candy display. It was a hit with the kids as well as the adults!
Sweets for both the chocolate and fruit flavored lovers!
Love how these candy cookies turned out for the sweets buffet we created. I got the idea from a paper plate Christmas craft…you know the one! White paper plate decorated to look like a peppermint with either construction paper, glitter, crayons, or paint. Then you wrapped it in cellophane tied off the ends with ribbon mimicking a candy wrapper.
I took this same concept and cookiefied it! I cut and baked a dozen circle cookies then decorated them with royal icing in various designs to look like pieces of candy. I used my longer cookies bags to package them placing each cookie in the center to leave room for my raffia ribbon bows. So easy and looks adorable!
Candy shaped cookies for the “Candy Bar” buffet!
I’m pretty sure I had a tummy ache after all that sugar but so glad I was able to help celebrate you C!
