When my friend and co-worker asked me to help prepare her daughter’s party, I was flattered!!!
Lilly is an amazing designer, with an incredible talent and sophisticated taste. Her daughter Alice loves rainbows and unicorns and Lilly wanted to create a modern-style birthday party for her.
After choosing the venue, we decided the décor. We only had 30 minutes to assemble the decoration at the venue. That said, she wanted something simple but with style.
The color pallet followed the “rainbow” directions with light blue, green, pink and yellow. To give a modern design to the décor, we opted for straight cake stands and wood.
As Alice loves rainbows, I made cloud macarons with amazing rainbows on the top. I also developed a special recipe of beijinhos (a popular coconut Brazilian dessert) for Alice, that I called: Alice little kisses!!! We “dressed” them with amazing Truffilio wrappers!
The backdrop was a little hard to deal with: to lighten the green venue couch, we used a delicate fabric and also a star curtain, which gave a magic touch to the dessert table.
Rainbow and 3D Unicorn cookies were also used as a decoration on the dessert table.For the Cake, Lilly did not want fondant, so she decided for butter cream. However, as she wanted a very wet cake, I decorated the cake 3 hours before the event. By doing that, I avoided keeping it in the refrigerator. The chocolate cake had Dulce de Leche butter cream and chocolate cream filling.
Lilly is very detail-oriented, so she also gave a special touch to the food: the finger foods were served in beautiful trays with handmade toppers. Doing this way, her guests knew the ingredients of each plate. Lilly also made handmade little favor tags in a cloud shape.
PomPoms, rainbows and unicorns made this day even more special for Alice. Hope you like the photos and get inspired!
