Olive's 1st Birthday Party

Our little girl turned one last month. Naturally, it was a huge occasion for mummy and daddy and we celebrated the day with our beautiful friends and family in our garden. I'd been trawling Pinterest for ideas on cakes and party styling and crossed my fingers that I could pull it off without any disasters.

Sweets Table

I made the tissue paper pom poms from a Martha Stewart tutorial & the name across the front was made from an old book and a glue gun. The talented Renee Bell from NFE Design took the photo in the background when Olive was a week old. The sweets that took me the longest and that I was most happy with, were the ice cream cone cake pops at the back of the table. They are also the only sweet I didn't get an individual photo of!

Olive's birthday cake was a pink vanilla layer cake with whipped vanilla bean butter cream icing. I made the layers a week in advance and froze them which made it easier to frost the day before the party. I had no idea if the cake would work until it was cut and was stunned that it actually did. I made the tiny bunting on top with skewers and ribbon.
