Flamingo Party Dessert Table
** Product was given to me by Oriental Trading in exchange for styling a party. I've been ordering from this company long before I was a blogger. Just so you know ;) **
Welcome back! Let's take a closer look at this dessert table shall we. Oh, you missed the first post? Pop over here and get more tips on hosting your own flamingo/spider Halloween party.
The weather was actually nice enough for me to host this outside. You just never know with October in Oregon. You could have a beautiful day or it could be rain all day. Of course there's also those days that start out really nice so you set up everything outside and then the clouds come rolling in and it rains just as your friends arrive for the party so you have to move everything indoors. Yep, that was this party. I just finished photographing everything and the rains came. Had to tear it all down and rush it inside.
When thinking of a topper for your cake try something different like I did with this spider. Since the spider isn't made to be a cake topper I placed something under his body so he wouldn't get frosting all over his fur and be ruined.
Little details can really tie a party theme together. Flamingo's on the straws and the pink poms keep the flamingo theme no matter where your guests carry their drink to. While the black glasses and Halloween straw flags remind those flamingo's this is Halloween season, summers over.
I like to keep my parties as stress free as I can. So if I don't have time to bake cupcakes I don't worry about it. I just pick some up from the store. These were s'more cupcakes from the bakery and I just took the marshmallow off the top and replaced it with a bright pink gumball. Then I put the cupcakes in pink wrappers to keep the theme going.
Being Halloween I wanted to display the cookies in something other than a tray like I usually do. This year I went with coffins. I picked up some plain wood coffins at the craft store, spray painted them black, added a little leftover fabric I had around the house and attached a sticker to the lid.
Did you spot the little detail in this picture?
Hint- it's crawling on the fork.
