Jack’s party was a success and now I officially have a toddler! Crazy.
We kept the party pretty small but it doesn’t feel that way with 6 adults and 3 kids! On the menu was chicken curry salad on croissants, berry salad, animal crackers, trail mix, and sangria. I had the cake and mushroom cupcakes made at a local bakery. We all had so much fun watching Jack eat destroy his cupcake and “open” presents. We bought him a fire truck to ride – little did we know Grandma and Grandpa got a train engine to ride too. It turned out to be okay since both Ella and Jack wanted to ride on the new toys :). William had a grand time getting tackled by Jack and pushing him around the kitchen. I’m still finding red frosting in weird places. That was quite fun to clean up (obviously didn’t think that through!) It turned out to look like a woodland massacre at the end of the party!
For inquiring minds, the masks I ordered from this etsy shop. I made the banner by printing on muslin (perhaps a DIY post in the future?) I also made the ‘pin the tail’ game and Jack’s crown. I bought the table cloth fabric at Hobby Lobby, the runner is from Target, and the centerpiece plants are from Ikea. My glasses are from Anthro and the straws are Hobby Lobby. D made the #1 cake topper with a cardboard number 1 and moss.
Get ready for picture overload!!
So darling! Love all your creative ideas. Happy Birthday Jack!

(big hi from sunny south of France and snowy Belgium 🙂 )
Thank you Sarah! The cake we got at a local bakery so unfortunately I do not have the recipe. I usually leave the baking to the experts 🙂
Hi! I came across your post on Pinterest 🙂 Can I ask where you got the Happy Birthday Jack pennants/banner from? Your family is adorable!
Thank you Huong! I actually made the banner myself by printing on muslin. It was pretty easy to do although a little time consuming. Let me know if you need more details 🙂
Any details you can provide for this banner would be amazing! It is absolutely adorable and I would love to replicate! thank you!
Hi there, I would love to know how you printed onto muslin, love this banner. 🙂
Would love to get more details when you have the chance 🙂 I like that this is something you can use over and over again! And the fact that it’s homemade is even more meaningful.
Hi, love your party theme! I’m doing enchanted forest for my daughter’s fifth. Can I ask where you got the little fawns? Hoping to make fairy gardens and haven’t found anything this gorgeous in Australia.x
Aileen – the little fawns are from an etsy store called Caramelos. I hope that helps!
Hi, I am doing a woodlands party for my daughter next Friday. I would love to know where you found the template for the masks. I want to make some for my daughters friends 😉 Thank you!
Tracy – I got the woodland masks from an etsy store called Opposite of Far: https://www.etsy.com/shop/oppositeoffar Hope that helps!
Precious party! Where did you find the printout of the fawn for “pin the tail..”?
Thank you Christine! I actually drew it on craft paper and then painted in the negative space! 🙂
Darling party, great job! Could you tell me where you got the pin the tail on the fawn
poster?
I actually made the pin the tail on the fawn poster! Just drew the fawn in pencil and then painted around it with black paint! 🙂
Came across this on Pinterest. How fun!! I am throwing a fairy party for my girls and love the cake!! Just wondering how you made the banner. It’s awesome!
[…] cakes from Pinterest were sent to me as inspiration (this one, this one, and this one), and I started looking at cakes and sketching […]
[…] Tree trunk cake from Kelly Hicks Designs […]
So adorable! I was wondering if you could please share how you did the banner? Thank you!
