Annabelle's Sweet Shoppe First Birthday

So, here it is folks. The party of the year!

Inspiration: Palm Beach ice cream shops
Colors I used: Ocean mist blue, candy red, and bubblegum pink
Hours it took to make the food: 6
Meltdowns: 2 (one from Jordan and one from me 15 minutes before the party)

Let's start with the candy shop:

I made these oreo pops using the recipe from HowDoesShe blog

I got these glass jars at Homegoods. 

 The cake is from We Take The Cake.  It was so good! Maybe even better than my wedding cake!

The sweet shoppe table all finished:)

These red velvet cupcakes are so delish! I got the recipe from Martha Stewart 

 This was an easy theme for a party in February thanks to Valentine's Day.  All I had to do was go the grocery store and pick up pink and red candy. Simple:)

I made the banner out of scrapbook paper. I got the idea from Chickabug's blog and etsy shop. 

I got the invitations in Cherry Theme from Chickabug. Aren't they so cute?! I absolutely loved their products!

The smash cake:

 I made her hat out of scrapbook paper. The smash cake was also from We Take The Cake

She loved it!

 I love how the frosting is stuck in her eyelashes!

The party in action:

Thank you friends for making this such a special day for our family. On this exact day last year we were fleeing Egypt, scared for our lives and the safety of Annabelle who was born just 4 days after landing in the US.  We are so blessed to have Annabelle in our lives. She is a gift from the Lord and we are so grateful to be her parents! She's come a long way from 3lbs 15oz!!
