We can all agree that kid’s birthday parties are probably the most fun to plan for (and go to), yes? There are endless ideas for fun decorations, cupcake designs, cute signage and favors that you can play around with. And this race car themed party, designed by The Sugar Studio, for handsome, little Ayden Phoenix, proves it.

Much more than just a first birthday celebration, this is also a love story. Ayden Phoenix was adopted one year ago by his adoring parents Gus and Mercy Dizon. The race car theme originated from dad’s passion for race cars and the parents literal race to the hospital when they were given the “green light” that Ayden was on his way!

Um, panna cotta served in oil cans? Amazing!

Stop, slow down, and go colored macarons, of course!

One of the activities for the pint sized party guests, was this race car painting contest. So fun!

Hello, future little lady race car drivers!

Happy birthday sweet Ayden!
