{My Parties} Carnival 1st Birthday

This weekend was my sweet niece’s 1st birthday party! My sister wanted to have a really fun birthday theme for her daughter’s party and what is funner than a Carnival! We set out right away to do “research” on Pinterest by creating a Carnival Party board. There are so many great and cute ideas it was hard to choose.

The party was held at my mom’s backyard, who brought such great ideas and creativity to the party. It started out as a damp morning but the rain held up for our festivities. Take a look at how it all turned out!

The dessert table was filled with all kinds of delicious carnival goodies. We had cupcakes, marshmallow carnival peanuts, Saltwater Taffy, Caramel covered popcorn with peanuts, etc.

The Cake table was across the yard under a white tent. So pretty!

I saw a different version of this Ferris Wheel cupcake holder on Pinterest and knew it would be perfect for the party. So I found this one for a great price.

There were candy apples (made by a friend of the family Fanegie)…

Red Velvet Cupcakes…

Caramel Covered Popcorn with Peanuts…

and much more!

Here are some cute photographs of the birthday girl and her parents!

Little Mayah and her Daddy.

Mayah’s mommy!

Here are some more cute photos of the birthday girl enjoying her smash cake!

Kids had face painting from Alicia’s Face Painting and a cute little tent filled with balls.

Kids had tons to play with and yummy treats to eat all day long. Like these great  “Popcorn” & “Ice Cream” Cake Pops made by  family friend Sharmayne.

Here’s Little Mayah again, tasting cotton candy… and loving it!

Then we had cake! It was a delicious strawberry cake with French creme filling.

We gave out the most delicious cookies I mentioned in my last post about My Newest Favorite Things. Wonderful Cookies from Not Betty Cookies.
