Burlap N Bling: Shelby's Sugar Shoppe

Shelby's Sugar Shoppe

Well, I'm doing this out of order...Shelby's 1st Birthday was in June and I'm just now getting these pictures in. :)
I decided to go with a vintage Sweet Shoppe theme. There are a lot of things I would have done differently had I had more time but I still think it turned out pretty cute. She had a great time! :)

Here is my beautiful Birthday Girl! My sister (Lesa Young of Youngs Photographic Imaging www.y2photo.net ) took all of the pictures...thanks, Sista!

I used an ivory and pink strawberry print fabric for the backdrop and trimmed it with lace. I made the bunting from various patterns of paper and printed/cut out the letters to say "Shelby's Sugar Shoppe".

Iced Animal Cookies

Salt Water Taffy

Strawberry Sugar Cookies

We also had a variety of Sugar Wafer Cookies, donuts, and

White-Chocolate dipped Strawberry Marshmallows.

We made this flower arrangement from a zigzag container filled with floral oasis. We added pink carnations as the "frosting" and placed a taper candle in the middle. I had adorable lace ribbon to tie a bow at the bottom of the candle but ran out of time before the first guests were beginning to arrive! :( I got this idea from http://www.howdoesshe.com/cupcake-flower-centerpiece

I made Vanilla Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting (top), Pink Lemonade Cupcakes with Strawberry Lemonade Buttercream Frosting and a candied lemon slice (middle), and Snickerdoodle Cupcakes with Cinnamon Frosting (bottom).

The cupcake liner pompom arrangement is from the Vintage Valentine Party. See the tutorial here:

Shelby's Special Vanilla Cupcake

For the Party Favors, I put the various flavors of cupcakes in a small mason jar and decorated the lid. I also tied a plastic spoon and attached a label to each one.
