Neon Pool Party for Twins

100layercake — Mon, 19 Oct 2015 13:00:59 +0000

Yes, it’s almost Halloween. But mamas, we have to tell you… we are still deep in Summer weather here in LA. So it makes perfect sense that we’d still be sharing neon pool parties on Cakelet at the end of October. No matter how much we obsess about sweaters and tights, bikini season is still going strong! Melissa of Homethrown LA threw the most joyful, adorable pool party for her twins at her gorgeous LA home. And we get to share it with all of you. Good food, a gorgeous pool, neon crafts for little fingers, and twin birthday cakes. So good.

Nevermind the gold S-P-L-A-S-H balloons. Can we talk about that play house?!

Hey birthday kids!

Love Melissa’s mix of rustic textures with bright neon details. Considering she is an expert when it comes to throwing intimate, thoughtful events it’s no surprise that this party is so cute!

Also, get ready for some major kitchen envy. Her house!

Little snack packs for the kiddos is so smart. Makes it easy to be sure that the little bodies are nicely fed and read for cake.

This party seriously looks like the most perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon, ever.

Check check on the matching party activities. Neon Jenga!

Go Joey! It’s your party, girl.

Such a good one, Melissa. Thank you for sharing your sweet pair’s party with us!
You can see the Unicorn party that Erica (the other half of Homethrown LA) threw for her daughter earlier this year right here.

Backyard 1st birthday for Juni by Hostess Haven and A Miho Experience

100layercake — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 17:53:42 +0000

Yes, we love big production super detailed, over the top birthday parties. (As evidenced by our party archive here.) But we also just LOOOOOVE a casual gathering in the backyard full of beautiful food, a handmade cake, and lots of love for the birthday boy. This party for little Juni Cruz is the most perfect mix of pretty, mama-friendly details and amazing food. No surprise since his padres are Farra and Juan.

Remember Juni’s beautiful nursery we posted in January?! That wallpaper still kills us.

Farra was in charge of cakes and desserts, Juan was in charge of the feast. Nice pairing, you two.

GIMME that elote. Now.

Get it, little dude! Happy Birthday Juni. Thanks for sharing this celebration with us, Farra and Juan!

Who doesn’t love a fanciful afternoon tea party hosted in a lovely backyard of a dear friend or family member? This mama was lucky enough to have just such a baby shower, planned and designed by Sterling Social.

Looks like her first baby came along for the ride too!

The flowers and cake are insane.

Love all the vintage, feminine details interspersed throughout the party.

Pretty perfect afternoon celebration, if you ask us. Lovely work, all involved!

New Jersey backyard baby shower from Love Sylvia Photography

100layercake — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:00:22 +0000

Love the feeling of this simple & botanic baby shower designed by the mommy-to-be. There’s nothing like celebrating the tiny human you’ve made than with a few of your closest friends, in your backyard. Plus, when you have a yard that’s filled with this much green, you kind of don’t need much else to decorate with, except for maybe a cozy vintage seating area, yes?

Bohemian backyard baby shower by Sunshine Charlie

100layercake — Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:30:13 +0000

We’re going to start the week off with a bohemian backyard baby shower that will leave you feeling inspired through Friday and beyond. You almost forget it’s a backyard with all the hammocks, dreamy canopies, blankets strewn across the lawn and handmade decor. Nicole Vaughn and Jenn Blake of Scout did not miss a detail when it came to planning this celebration for soon-to-be momma, Julie Harmsen. It’s truly beautiful.

How awesome is that feather beaded backdrop Jenn made?

We love when parties have cozy little spaces like this. Lots of great conversations and catching up takes place in corners like this.

Books are always one of the best presents to bring to a baby shower, aren’t they?

The best baby mobile is the one that your best friends make for you.

That daisy flower crown is too adorable!
