Want to create Custom and Personalised Cakes & Desserts?

Personalised items have become a huge trend in celebrations…from kids parties to weddings! Personalised favour bags, personalised stationery and personalised cakes! That is where Custom Icing can help you – they create custom edible icing to be used on cakes, cookies, cupcakes and more!

They’ve recently created a new tool on their website where you can easily create your own custom image to be ordered and used on your kids party cake or cupcake!

Simply go to the “Design your own” part of their website, upload your image, choose the size you need…and voila! It is THAT easy!

Here are some I created using this tool to make cupcake toppers and a cake topper:

 

In both these examples I used the “Design your own” feature – uploaded an image and chose the size!

Some people love the idea of having a photo of the birthday child on their cake and this can also easily be done using this tool on the Custom Icing website:

 

 

 

I actually found the tool really easy to use and I know many of you will too! You can easily crop your image or zoom in to the area of the photo you want for the edible image!

 

So next time you want to add a really personalised touch to your kids party cake or other desserts, try out this Design Your Own tool on the Custom Icing website to create personalised edible icing images whether it is using a photo of your child or an image to match their party theme!:

 

 

Head to the Custom Icing website to explore this tool or see their larger range of other edible icing image products for your kids party or other celebrations!

 

Llama Kids Party Ideas & Supplies

It’s always exciting when a new wave of party themes take over our Instagram feed, and right now one of the hottest trends is an unlikely one! Swans, flamingos and unicorns have had their time….now it’s time for the Llama!

Better known for carrying backpacks through the Andes (or Emperor Kuzco in The Emperor’s New Groove), the humble llama has exploded onto the party scene, bringing with it plenty of colour and festivity for any occasion.

Cute, furry and never short of some bright accessories, a llama inspired party can be a lot of fun to put together with a little imagination. This theme could be mixed in with cactus partyware and bright fiesta party supplies or turned pretty with pastels – so we’ve showcased a mix of both to give you ideas of what you could use for a Llama party!

New kids party finds!

 

A few years ago when I first started planning my own kids parties….the range of partyware was limited to polka dots, stripes and chevrons. Now the kids party scene is bursting with fun partyware and “Party! she said” newly renovated online store has a huge range of Licensed Character parties, Themed parties and Party bundles which allow customers to pick and choose and stay right on trend with designer partyware !

They have so much to offer and if you can’t see it, just ask and they will be happy to try to source it for you.

 

“Party! she said” is now an online mother and daughters venture who used to be called Fantasy Kids Parties. Starting way back in 1985 it started as a catering and party styling service when the daughters were very young and it was a relatively new idea and because they loved to party, that’s all they knew and we love all the ranges they are now stocking:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trending is their new stock from Daydream Society in the USA and Glitz & Glam a very versatile range just coming through their store now – suited to adult celebrations, baby showers and Christenings.

 

Their bundles are varied and they can also bundle up a pack of partyware that is just right for you.

 

 

 

 

Party! she said is a small business and small business is such a lovely way to feel like family, which is what they try to make their customers feel. Old fashioned customer service, but mixed with an online presence!  Based in Adelaide they offer shipping Australia wide. Party! She Said is on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.

They also have a range of fun and stylish decorations and backdrops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As well as licensed partyware and a range of party supplies to suit popular kids themes such as a ballerina party:

 

 

 

 

 

They have also recently launched a new venture “Lollygraze” in Adelaide metro which you can book via their website as well as “Abelia Flower Crown” workshops with information also on their website with the aim to offer flower crowns to purchase and also in DIY kits in the future!

As you can see – their range is bright and stylish and they have so much happening! They are definitely a store you want to involve when you’re party planning for your next kids party or celebration! So head to their website now to start your planning!

 

Superhero Kids Party Supplies

There isn’t a kid I know who hasn’t marvelled at a Superhero and their incredible powers, and thanks to the talented folk at Pixar, Marvel, Disney and the like, Superheros have morphed beyond the traditional stereotypes, making them more appealing than ever to both boys and girls.

The best part? Superheros make great kids party themes!

Superhero Party Inspiration, Sweet Heavenly Events, Sydney

 

Not only is a Superhero party a popular theme for kids, it’s also popular with parents as it’s super easy to pull together. Take inspiration from the Superhero stylists and go beyond the primary colours with girly pastels or monochrome black and white, and insert some comic book fun with speech bubbles, city landscapes and monograms to create something special – maybe even your own Superhero! We’ve also included some traditional red/blue/white superhero partyware in this blog for you if you love the classic look!

As always – the items showcased are all from our wonderful network members that are also listed in our Directory section of our website!

Isaiahs Christening Feature

 

A Christening is such a joy and special occasion to celebrate and we’re delighted to showcase this amazing Christening in blues, gold and  rose gold styled by the team at Sweet Heavenly Events in Sydney – also using their gorgeous range of props!

You can view the full range of credits at the end of this post to find all the amazing vendors involved! For now – enjoy the images!

 

 

I just love the plinths and the design used on them. Plinths and decal wraps are one of the latest trends in styling and you can see what an impact they can have on a setup:

 

A milestone chart such as this is such a gorgeous way to capture important details and upon on this easel from Sweet Heavenly Events is the perfect way to display it:

 

This Christening cake is just spectacular!

 

 

Don’t you just love these rose gold cake stands from Sweet Heavenly Events?

 

 

 

You can never underestimate the impact amazing balloon decor will have to a whole room. The mix of garlands and jumbos creates such a gorgeous effect:

 

 

As you can see – the whole room and setup was styled so elegantly by Sweet Heavenly Events to create an elegant Christening celebration:

 

 

 

The little touches and details of this Christening also help guests to know how much thought has gone into hosting them for this celebration:

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Christening celebration is *amazing*..am I right?

I hope these photos have inspired your own celebration – whether it’s a first birthday or Christening or even an adult celebration! Sweet Heavenly Events in Sydney can create something just as amazing for your own celebration or you can use their gorgeous range of props to style your own event.
