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.
{go here see my inspiration and get a tutorial}
circle garland and hanging balls
the white balls are made from cupcake wrappers.
{tutorial}
the purple flower ball is made out of streamers!
{tutorial}
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:
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!

please visit my etsy shop.
the party was a success!

princess and the frog/
baking party.
today i'm going to show you how i
made the apron part of the invitation.
i had never seen anything like this,but as i was searching for
cheap aprons for the party i came across
an invitation that looked like an apron.
if you google it, you will see
many that are more decorative than mine,
but i just wanted something simple to
not take away from the actual invite.
first, you need to cut out an apron shape.
you can also google this and find many templates.
although, it's really not that complex.
just make sure it is 2 1/2 inches longer than
you want the finished product to be.
{mine was 9 inches from top to bottom
and 5 1/4 inches side to side}

{mine was 9 inches from top to bottom
and 5 1/4 inches side to side}
next, you will score 2 1/2 inches
from the bottom then fold up toward the top.
{if you don't have a scoring blade,
you can just fold it}
put a thin line of glue on both edges
and fold closed to create the pocket.
{i like to stick it under a heavy book
while it dries to make sure it stays}
next you will add the loop that
goes around the "neck".
just punch two holes and tie the ribbon.
use an craft knife to cut two slits
for the "belt" to slide through.
the ribbon goes behind the apron
so that just the loose ends are hanging.
this is a picture of the back.
from the front it should look
like the ribbon would tie behind your back.
these are buttons i found at michael's
over a year ago and just knew i'd have a reason
to use them someday...they were only a dollar!
i tied them on with purple baker's twine
{from the twinery}
to finish off the invite, i rounded the edges.
it's not necessary, but i think it
makes it look so much more finished.
this tool is definitely a
good buy.

i don't know how well you can see it here,
but this shows how it looks
with normal corners vs. clipped.
the princess & the frog invites will be
available in my etsy shop soon!
hopefully i will be posting the party next week!
my daughter's birthday is coming up!
she wanted a tiana (princess & the frog) party.
we all know how i feel about character parties...
i gotta do it for the kids, but want to change it up.
so i decided to take a cue from tiana
and her goal of owning a restaurant.
we are having a baking party!
