Welcome to Aila's Bakery

Aila starts looking through cookbooks to find inspiration for her next birthday cake about six months out from her birthday. So a bakery theme was just perfect for involving her in the excitement of preparations for her 4th birthday party!
With two boys numbering amongst the many female guests, we wanted a colour palette that was feminine but that still had some colours that little boys could relate to. Aqua, yellow and pale pink fit the brief and provided a bright, fun environment for all that baking.
To create a sense of anticipation for the party, guests received an invitation wrapped around a mini rolling pin. Interstate guests received an invitation tied with bakers twine and a mini whisk via the post.

• What People Ate

  Guests were served bakery fare including croissants, eclairs, macarons, cupcakes and a beautiful chocolate buttercream cake! Mini rolling pins, painted in aqua and yellow, were used as place settings and cookies in the shape of oven mitts made for a sweet detail.

• What People Drank

  The young guests sipped pink lemonade and water was served in custom mini water bottles.

• Party Favors

  Guests took home their decorated cupcakes, a rolling pin, their hat and apron, a customised water bottle and an oven mitt cookie in a sweet calico favour bag. And Aila’s mum has made her promise to wait at least four months before getting out the cook books to start planning her 5th birthday!

• Activities / Games

  On arrival Aila’s young guests were gifted with beautiful aprons and chef’s hats custom-made by Cora Kids and they used custom made ‘recipe books’ to guide them in decorating cupcakes.
