Mermaid Party

In February my daughter turned 5 and requested a mermaid Birthday Party! I wish her Birthday was’t in February when its so cold outside still! She wanted a swim party at her papas house but that never happens because everyone would freeze to death! We compromised and she still got her party at papas house but swimming was not included lol.

I made her Mermaid Cake and was very happy with how it turned out!

For her Cake Topper I used Silver Glitter Cardstock & I cut the Mermaid Image Out with my Cricut Cutting Machine.

I used Wilton Fondant for most of the Cakes Decorations and Buttercream frosting for the rest. i will post below all the tools i used to make the creatures on the cake.

Mermaid Tails

mermaid Tail, Seashell, & Creature Bundle

Seaweed & More Shells

I used a similar Cake Base to this one and I added some Washi Tape around the edge.

For the Background:

I made my daughters name and #5 Out of Cardboard and hot glue. Then I added some card-stock and paint to make it look like a mermaids tail. I made the blue 5 mermaid out of cardboard and paint ( I didn’t even mean to make it into a #5 shape!! It was an accident lol)

Everything else i found on amazon:

Happy Birthday Balloons

Bubble Party Decorations

Paper Fish Cutouts

Fishing Nets

Silver Photo Backdrop

I made the Treasure Chest From A Blue moon Beer Box and a Ritz cracker box for the lid. (See Below)

I bought the Beaded Necklaces for the treasure chest and I added some to the goodie bags.

I added some Small Plastic Starfish & Ribbons with hot glue.

The kids loved them!

I Made these pinatas from cardboard and paint.

Throw Back To My Daughters 2nd Birthday Party! Elmo Themed!

I decided I would share some of the other Birthday parties I had made diy things for. My daughters 2nd Birthday we had planned to go to chuck e cheese due to the weather being bad. But when we arrived at chuck e cheese it was so crowded due to the weather it just wasn’t going to happen so we decided to have everyone venture across the street to the round table pizza. It worked out perfect nobody was there so we were able to use the party room.

So anyways I made an Elmo cake with abc/123 sugar cookie on it. (This is one of my first decorated cakes I had done). Its pretty simple and I enjoyed making it. This is her and her bff (daddy). This is one of my favorite pictures 💗.
