When we launched our new “on the farm” birthday party theme, I blogged about pig and sheep cakes and cupcakes, but this one has a red barn and baby chicks! I love how easy the chick cupcakes are. They’re just yellow tinted coconut {yum} with chocolate eyes and a gumdrop beak (rolled and cut in the shape of a triangle).
The barn and other animals are really simple too. All the details are on BettyCrocker.com complete with a video. Enjoy!
I ran across these little oinkers at the grocery store. They were on the cover of a Taste of Home kid-friendly recipies book. You can read more about how to make these little cuties on the Taste of Home website.
And the other images are from a Stay-At-Home mommy blogger named Deanna. She did a wonderful job of making cow cupcakes, they look similar to the pig design, and fun barn favors in honor of her third child turning 3. You can read more and see more pics on her blog Just Deanna.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Each time we launch a new party theme I develop a new favorite. It’s likely because I spend so much time with it from idea conception to development to decor selection to the photo shoot to blogging about it to launch. Our “on the farm” birthday party theme is no exception.
And this time we took it one step further with a printable collection of craft templates for cupcake wrappers, cupcake picks, napkin rings and goody box tags. Each craft is as easy as print, cut and tape/glue and can be found with all the table decor in our shoppe.
I personally think that the cupcake wrappers and picks will become a quick favorite for those of us who shudder at the thought of baking a themed birthday cake. And even if you don’t mind baking, these simple crafts take all the stress out of it with an adorable outcome.
Okay, so how cute is the cow (sheep and pig) napkin rings; I mean really. {wink} And last but not least, sweet little “thanks y’all” tag embellishments for the red gable goody boxes.
And here are a few more items to round out the table: beverage bucket (bottles embellished with printable collection napkin rings), tractor cookie cutter and serving platter.
The photoshoot went very well this weekend. This one is of our new printable cupcake wrappers and toppers. There are four little animals in our design, a cow, chicken, pig and sheep, and they all get to be in the spotlight with their own topper and sound. Here’s a look at the rest of the collection!
I know I’ve been missing in action this week and I apologize, but I promise it was for good reason. Here’s a preview of the two new birthday party invitation designs that will launch early next week.
The first is brand new and I loving call “down on the farm.” Don’t you just love the little pig in his mud puddle?! And I can’t wait to share the creative table decor, goody box and cupcake wrappers.
And the second, “princess castle,” is an adaption of our “prince & princess” theme. This one has much more pink and yes, it is missing the fire breathing dragon!
I’ll post a big announcement as soon as they’re a go. Wish us luck with the photo shoot this weekend; my weather man says it might rain…
