Morning, mamas! Hope you all had a lovely holiday spent snuggling up with your loved ones. We’re signing off for the week to do that very thing, but not without a recap of our fave moments from this past year here on Cakelet and 100 Layer Cake. First up, kids birthday parties! So many fun themes, and so many thoughtful details. Shall we?

Donut-themed boy’s birthday from Harmony of Harmony Lynn Photography and Styled For Two.

Much like the above donut fête, this colorful confetti twin girl’s birthday from Starling Studio gave us ALL the sugar cravings.

There were the sweetest details (we mean, llama cookies?!) in Reverie Photo Co.‘s modern cactus party.

This Southern Belle first birthday party mama Elle Ellinghaus Designs dreamt up for Emmy Lou was over the top adorable. 

This modern bee 1st birthday party by Courtney Chan was full of creative details.

Can’t get over the hot pink + fuchsia color palette in this Olivia the Pig birthday party that Beijos Events whipped up.

Does anything sound more fun than a disco themed pizza party? Kudos to Emily of Feast & Festivities on this one!

Bougainvillea and marigold loved-themed birthday party by The COOP and Julie Shuford.

Neon is so super fun for a surf-themed birthday party, as proven by But First, Party! and Wild Heart Rentals.

We we’re all pretty darn smitten with Laura of IDA ROSE EVENTS‘s rainbow Care Bear birthday party.

And the most creative party of the year came to us from Verance Photography, in the form of this Life Aquatic first birthday. Genius!

It’s always fun to see a sunny yellow party theme, like in this whimsical lemonade birthday by Forrest and J.

Jungle themed first birthday party by Beijos Events with a killer balloon installation from Wild Child Party.

Can’t forget Louella Moon’s feminine fall 1st birthday and pumpkin carving party as captured by Alison Bernier. Foraged florals and pastel pumpkins forever!
