Besides the obvious perks of long days at the beach, swimming and ice cream, the Summer months lend themselves to lots of opportunities for occasions to be enjoyed outdoors, and lots of bright party themes too!
With an abundance of colour on display, the tropical tutti frutti party has grown in popularity and for all kinds of occasions, and for good reason! So here’s our fun finds and inspiration to make a splash and go a little bananas with fruit for your next party.

Summer fruits really do speak for themselves when it comes to colour, so go bananas and splash as much colour around as you like for a tropical fruit salad vibe, or lots of shades of the one or two colours if crushing on just one, such as watermelon.

“Watermelon…watermelon..I love…you love…watermelon! ”
Most kids love watermelons which have made it a popular kids party theme in recent times which has also led to a range of fun watermelon partyware
Inspired by this gorgeous summer fruit comes this fantastic new range of edible art paint by Sweet Sticks in collaboration with Alisha Henderson of Sweet Bakes
Alisha Henderson of Sweet Bakes started her cake journey in 2013, quickly establishing her unique, untraditional style of sweet making.
Her obsession with edible illustrations & love for watermelons have finally united with this watermelon paint set!
So now you can have your paint and eat it too!
You can find this delightful range on the Edible Art Paint website for $24 and have fun with your own watermelon creations!:
You can also view an amazing range of other colours available in edible art paint which has taken the baking world by storm with many bakers sharing their creations on social media using the edible art paint from Sweet Sticks
So although we have headed into Autumn, bring some summer back into your life with this fun watermelon range!
