The theme of the party was Elmo. This party was a for a 2 year old and all the children were around that age. These cupcakes were so adorable and many children gravitated towards these cupcakes as soon as they entered the room. I think it was that beaming bright blue that drew them in. That and the thought of sugar! The mom of the birthday boy for this party did a fantastic job with her gift bags. My favorite part about the bag are the hang tags. What a wonderful detail! If you look closely at the picture of Cayden’s gift bags, you’ll notice that each tag has a Sesame Street character on it. The color choice was fantastic! Yellow is such a happy color and was a great contrast to the blue cupcakes. I don’t remember the entire contents of the bags but there was definitely a coloring book that the mom provided and I also added an egg shaker to each bag. I entertained at this party so my CD was included with my performance package. I love how my CDs look on the table with everything else. Although my CD wasn’t a part of the Elmo theme, my color scheme on my album worked well with everything else on the table. This table is full of great examples for anyone planning an Elmo themed birthday party for their little one. I couldn’t resist also featuring an Elmo cake design by one of my favorite bakers, Desserts by Toni! The picture of this cake truly speaks a thousand words. I can only imagine the joy the two year old that had this cake must have felt. Toni did a fantastic job making this cake look exactly like Elmo. I love both the Elmo cupcake design and the Elmo cake. Both were a huge hit at each party. These two examples show that even though you may have the same theme as thousands of other toddlers, you don’t have to have the exact same approach with your cake and decorations choices. The possibilities are endless!</span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;">Have you ever thrown an Elmo themed birthday party for a toddler?
