Let's talk about this beautiful cake, shall we? Michele of Cakewalk Baking created both the cake and cupcakes. The inside was Funfetti vanilla and the cake was frosted with the most delicious fresh strawberry buttercream. We topped it off with a variety of sprinkles and these awesome gold metallic birthday candles.
My favorite, though messy, creation was definitely the doughnut pops. I picked up 2 dozen glazed holes from our local donut shop and attached them to lollipop sticks wrapped in washi tape. I just brushed on a little extra glaze and half dipped them in rainbow sprinkles for that happy confetti'ed look.
I took on the cookies from this lofthouse style recipe I'd been dying to try. They were way more work than I would have guessed... probably because I waited to bake them until the night before and didn't realize the dough is supposed to be refrigerated overnight before rolling. Friends, don't neglect that step and you'll thank me later. In the end, the recipe made lots and they tasted far better than their processed grocery store counterparts, so it was worth the effort.
Rounding out the snacks we had a bit of gummy candy along with typical toddler food like circus animal cookies, fruit salad and goldfish crackers.
In addition to juice boxes for the kids and booze for the grownups, I also made my own fruit punch complete with 'fruit confetti'. I basically made up the recipe by pouring a few different juices (apple, white grape, cherry, pineapple) and some sparkling water into our large mason dispenser and filled it up with round slices of lemons, limes and oranges. (ps: it would taste great mixed as a cocktail too... if you happened not to be entertaining a bunch of three-year-olds)
