The theme as you may have already guessed was "My little Sunshine"... I have been singing that song to her even before she was born and her incredible smile always brightens up my day and warms my heart so this theme suited her just perfectly.
I picked Pink & Yellow as the colour scheme as naturally yellow is for sunshine & pink is for girls! :)
I also think these colours look just gorgeous together and when you through in some stripes and polkadots its a perfect match!
I'm a huge fan of D.I.Y and love having a go at making things myself. But when it came to the invitations I just had to refer to the professionals... My lovely friends Natasha & Leanne from Sweet Style created the invitations and this gave me the inspiration for how I wanted to create and design everything else.
The cake I have to say was my absolute favourite feature of the dessert table! Not to mention the cupcakes to match!
My cake lady Mandy is simply a hobbyist with a passion for cake decorating. (Amazing right!)
I can't tell you how excited I was went I picked up the cake & cupcakes! It felt like the "cheery on top for me!"
Her work is amazing and I just loved working with her to create this amazing cake! (Thank you Mandy)
Rice Pudding (made by my mum) & Cookie Pops (made by me)
Raspberry & Lemon Macaroons &
Raspberry Cheesecake Tartlets (made by me)
I made my own sugar cookies and also handed them out to each of our party guest as a Thank you... I defiantly take my hat of to all cookie makers out there... not as easy as it looks! But not bad for my first ever attempt! :)
Keeping with the theme the party favours where "Little Miss Sunshine" books for the girls and "Mr Happy" for the boys along with a lolly bag filled with pink & yellow bonbons
