Baby’s First Birthday

We just celebrated my baby’s first birthday this past weekend. I knew I wanted to do a dessert table, so I’ve been thinking about it a few months back. The colors I had in mind were aqua and bright green with a little orange to make it fun.

The banner, labels, and sweets were homemade – and I will be posting the recipes of the ones I haven’t posted already.

Sweet treats included:

• banana cake with avocado frosting (birthday cake)
• banana cupcakes with buttercream frosting (same as banana cake, just reduce baking time to 15-18 mins)
• blueberry pie pops
• chocolate covered pretzels
• chocolate covered marshmallows
• sugar cookies with buttercream frosting
• orange brownie bars

sprinkles, twine, & cupcake liners from The Bakers Confections on Etsy

labels & ribbon from Paper Source

paper, paint, block letters, & styrofoam (for pie pops) from Michaels

frames, tissue paper (for wrapping styrofoam and boxes) from Target

candies from Sweet Factory
