Very Hungry

I didn't discover Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar until becoming a mom, and I love it! And it's no surprise that my son loves it too. So it only seemed fitting to throw him a The Very Hungry Caterpillar-themed 1st birthday party. Here are some of the details I worked on.

 

Pom pom caterpillar

 

Apple-shaped smash cake for the birthday boy

 

Apple-shaped cinnamon apple cupcakes for the guests

 

Crabapples and forelle pears + gumballs as favors

The Square Root of 1

I love planning themed-parties as I love trying to think of all the ways we can incorporate the theme into even the smallest details. Here are some of the pieces I worked on for my son's math/nerd-themed 1st birthday party.

 

Bowties for the boys and hairbows for the girls

 

Glasses and bowtie picture props made out of foam and straws

 

A food-coloring-free and egg-free smash cake for the little guy turning one squared

 

Fondant-topped blue velvet cupcakes for the guests

 

Never leave home without them.
