of fairies and parties...

fairies must be the latest trend where parties are concerned. i've noticed a few blog posts on fairy parties and just recently, i was asked to make a cake and matching party favor biscuits, based on tina wenke's garden fairy illustrations. the illustration is of three magical fairies flying in a pretty garden of flowers and butterflies....


the mother of the lil one yr old had bought pretty hanging cut outs and wanted matching items for the party...

 

based on this, i iced the cake with pink and purple butter icing, topped with flowers and cupcakes with pink stripes. i made flag toppers of the pretty fairies and placed them on top to make them look like they were floating just above the cake...

as for the biscuits, i just used the actual illustration and added the birthday girl's name on it. each biscuit was wrapped in clear plastic with pink and purple ribbons...

i was so charmed by these pretty fairies that i was hoping ilaika would be too. she was...for all of two minutes so i guess there wasn't enough pulling power to have a fairy themed party so we're defnitely sticking to butterflies!

butterflies aside, a fairy party is a lovely theme to use if you have a little girl. it's about all things pretty and mystical including enchanted gardens, butterflies, puffy lace, flowers, ribbons, delicate wings and magic wands...the possibilities are endless ;)

if you're planning a fairy party from scratch and not using any particular illustration as above, follow kim's posts on the tomkat studio blog where she too is searching to be inspired by fairies!

    not so 'small' that Creative Party Place feature thingy. (t least i'd like to think so) i got excited myself when the Polka-Dots (Z's 3rd) party was featured, and then recently, the Transformers (Z's 5th) one too. yay! :-)

    the butterflies party is bound to be real pretty. look fwd to seeing photos later. have fun! ;-)
