princess and the frog/baking party

 

 my daughter asked for a

princess and the frog party

and she loves baking...

so i decided to combine them.

since tiana loves to cook,

it really fit.

the colors were lilac and green apple.
i wanted to incorporate a lot of
cupcake wrappers & bakers twine.


i also used a silhouette of tiana
throughout the party.

The Cake:

The Details:

 

 i made this for the front door

by gluing cupcake wrappers to

a large "5" that i had cut out.

circle garland and hanging balls

 

the white balls are made from cupcake wrappers.

the purple flower ball is made out of streamers!

for part of the girls' favor, they got to

create their own cookie mix.

i started jars with the basic ingredients

then had them each choose what goodies

they wanted in their mix.

the whole display...so mad it's blurry!

 

"cupcake toppers"

one is the tiana silhouette and

the other is purple jewel.

i love cupcake toppers!

more importantly, the kids love them.

but i rarely serve cupcakes at my parties,

so i have to come up with another way to

use them.  here, it's in grapes...

cocktail picks

i used coordinating papers

and tiny glitter frogs.

chocolate covered marshmallows

the table before the baking started!

i saw this cute idea for

attaching flowers made from

cupcake wrappers to the hats 

here!

Activities:

the kids got to add their names

using sticker letters i got

form the dollar bin at target.

{tip: i put the letters each girl needed

for her name in a cupcake wrapper

ahead of time so there wasn't any searching}

making beignets!

these are tiana's specialty!

we found a tiana cookbook which

had the recipe.

it was so easy and a perfect

recipe for the girls to help with.

 

aren't these little rolling pins cute?!

they are from hobbyy lobby and the

best purchase i made (also very inexpensive).

they kept all the girls involved.

creating a one of a kind cookie mix!

the little bakers

 

modeling the cute apron my sister

made her!

{available in her etsy shop:

"Dressed to the Tees"}

Favors:

 

in addition to the cookie mix,

the girls each got a tiana barrette.

i got them from Crystal's Creations.

 

it was a great party!
