I am loving edible cupcake toppers. They are so darn cute and such a fun, easy way to add finish to your party! They're not cheap unless you can make them yourself, but they are an unexpected twist on a traditional cupcake. Here are some examples from our site to inspire you...
Natalie R's Reach for the Sky Toy Story Party
When I first saw Kate A's Under the Sea Birthday Bash, I was blown away by all the amazing details.
I see a party like this and I want to know the story behind it. So I approached Kate and asked if I could do a spotlight feature on her party. I sent her a list of questions, and here's her story...
I saw these Oreo pops in one of the photos of Amy H's awesome Nolan Paper Airlines {First Birthday Party}. First of all, how creative is a paper airplane party? And secondly, how good do these Oreo pops look?
I asked Amy if I could repost the tutorial she did on her blog, Buggie and Jellybean, and she generously agreed. So according to Amy, here's how you make these simple but delicious treats...
Here are some beautiful Strawberry Shortcake parties on our site. I love when people take a theme based on a popular character and make it there own. Take a look at these creative ideas...
Jessica M's Vintage Strawberry Shortcake Party

One of my daughter's all-time favorite shows is Yo Gabba Gabba. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a trip. It's got these giant characters who live in Gabba Land, a DJ puppet master named DJ Lance Rock, and A-list guest stars including Jack Black, Andy Samberg, Mya, Tony Hawk, Elijah Wood, and others.
What's great about Yo Gabba Gabba as a party theme is that it can work for a girl or a boy, it's got a wonderful color pallet, and there's awesome music.

I'm loving Ticings, which are edible icing appliqués that can you can use on cupcakes, cakes, cookies, brownies, you name it. You just peel them off like little stickers and press them onto your dessert.

One of my daughter's closest friends is in love with the movie Cars, so in honor of him, and in honor of all the other boys who love it, too, I thought would highlight these incredibly original and creative Cars birthday parties on our site.
We get a lot of princess parties on our site. In fact it's one of the most popular themes for girl birthdays. To give you some inspiration and ideas, I thought I'd showcase the different kinds of princess parties we've seen on our site, from the most traditional to the most unusual.
See what you think...
