These deliciously cute Icecream Party Printables are new to my store!I designed them for my son's birthday, they will soon be available in another colour option for the girls ;-)
So, my precious baby boy Max (he is still my baby) is now 2 !
I decided on an Icecream theme for Max's party after I was inspired by a gorgeous little wooden Icecream van moneybox that I bought for Max from Seed.
To add a splash of colour to the Icecream theme I decided to add red balloons to the mix, and the lovely Sarah of Enchanted Belles created the perfect cake topper to tie the themes in together.
I love the idea of a handmade cake topper that becomes a keepsake after the party.
So...we invited friends and family for afternoon tea (cake and icecream!) to celebrate.

I decided to do something different for this invitation, it's a little more work than my other printable invitations, but it's really quite easy, you just need to use a circle punch and some foam dots (which are also used for party spots /cupcake toppers),then a corner punch finishes it off nicely.
I had grand plans of making hanging clouds in front of a sky blue wall for the backdrop,
but time didn't allow, oh well! The shutters worked ok ;-)
Oh, and I found out that buttercream doesn't stay white when you make it the day before, lol, it goes a creamy yellow colour. Any tips from the cake decorators out there ? is there a white icing alternative that would be nice on a neopolitan flavor cake without having to use fondant icing ?)

Icecream was served in white cups from Montresor with wooden spoons from Sweet Style.
I printed my Icecream party spots on adhesive paper and stuck them on the cups.
The cute chalkboard frame was from Frame This.
I designed a print to fit inside the frame (easier than attempting to be neat with chalk!)

As a thank you for coming, we gave each child an Icecream bowl and matching spoon to take home, inside was a vanilla cupcake with a giant coconut and white chocolate covered marshmallow on top.
Yum, yum !
Giggles!
xoxoI also designed a Colouring in page to match the invitation,
which is now available here for you to download FREE on my website :-)
All the gorgeous photo's of the party were taken by the lovely Leighsa of Michelle-leigh Photography
