Baking themed party

Baking themed party

Hello!

I hope your summer is going well! I am excited to share a baking themed party idea featuring our newest party collection Little Bakers!

I've always loved baking but ever since the pandemic in March I've been baking a lot more with my children. I am sure some of you are the same way. 

I like simple and small home parties rather than throwing huge parties for my children. To set the table I put out store-bought waffles, different kinds of sprinkles and candies as toppings and whipped cream. Feel free to use homemade waffles and you can be creative choosing the toppings. Let children enjoy decorating their own waffles!

I also used our Little Bakers Cupcake Toppers on the waffles. Aren't they adorable?

To set the sweet mood for this party I used streamers in pastel colors on the background and hung our Little Bakers Garland.

If you are having a birthday party you can use our printable bottle wrappers on our website for glass bottles or bottled water. ( free on our website )

And here is a cute party favor idea. I've included kid-sized baking mitt, mini roller, whisk, a store-bought waffle and colorful sprinkles. I used our Gift Bag Stickers on a medium sized paper bag.

If your children enjoy baking this would be the perfect birthday party theme for them. I hope you enjoyed my idea! Please tag us on Instagram (@merrilulushop) if you throw a baking themed party. :)
