Right before the holidays I had the pleasure of getting talked into planning my sweet nieces 14th birthday party. Lizzy loves baking and her specialty is cupcakes (and the girl can make some yummy cupcakes). I combined her love of cupcakes with a teal, red, pink color themed cupcake soiree!
Lizzy’s favorite show is TLC’S “DC Cupcakes” and we surprised her with a dozen cupcakes from the show’s bakery – “Georgetown Cupcake.” Yup, we had a dozen cupcakes shipped from Washington, D.C. and yes, it was definitely worth it. They were wonderfully packaged and arrived in perfect condition (I was impressed) and so yummy. It was definitely one of the main features of the party and a big highlight for Lizzy! I made individual cupcake stands for these decadent treats and the girls later had a “guess what cupcake flavor” activity with 6 of them.
Our dessert table was filled with pink yogurt pretzels, sour patch cherries, cookies and cupcakes from our local grocery store, Georgetown Cupcakes and yummy peanut butter fudge cupcakes made by Lizzy herself (these were also provided as boxed take home favors). The girls had a blast with the cupcake tasting contest, a scavenger hunt and making their own felt flower clips (this was a huge hit – I just provided them with a hot clue gun, a variety of felt squares, alligator clips and some inspiration pics found online).
Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake poster is from Poster Pop. Paper striped straws and cupcake paper lines are from Dime Store Buddy. We used circular lanterns (from Just Artifcats) in different sizes to decorate the dessert table and other areas throughout the house.
All the party printables (cupcake toppers, food labels, birthday sign) were created by me using the adorable digital paper designs from Moo & Puppy.
