Color Party

Here's a look at a party that I helped with a couple weekends ago.  The theme was 'colors'.  The celebration was for a darling two-year-old ~ Lucy.  Lucy's mom, Carly, saw a cake on line that gave her the idea for the theme.  We added colorful banners and garland, balloons, vinyl for the walls and for a sign, colored masking tape and butcher paper for the table, cups of crayons for coloring and doodling on the papered table, veggies and fruit in all different colors, and bowls and jars filled with colorful candy.  We thought it was all really cute ~ and Lucy was absolutely loving the fact that she was the center of attention for the night.

Check out the cake!  Super cool, huh?

Doodling!

For the cake, we used 2 white mixes, divided into 4 each.  I used gel coloring to get the really rich, vibrant color.  
The hardest part was under-estimating the amount of frosting that it needed.  (It took a lot!)  Also, serving was a bit tricky because it was so tall. :) 


By the end of the night, the table was covered with doodles and cake and ice cream and candy.  All we had to do was fold it up and throw it out.  Lucy was a happy, exhausted, birthday girl!
