Hostess With The Mostess

PARTY DETAILS

Imagine a summer carnival/circus themed birthday party complete with all of the must-have sweet treats…for ADULTS!  Nobody loves cotton candy and carnival food more than my friend Monica.  We surprised her with an ‘under-the-big top’ carnival themed party for her 36th birthday!  We served up a smorgasbord of treats, including:  fresh popped popcorn, roasted peanuts, homemade Fischer scones, homemade pretzels (salted & cinnamon), ice cream push up pops, caramel apples, clown cake pops, cotton candy, chocolate cupcakes, marshmallow pops, salt water taffy & candy galore.   This theme lent itself perfectly to an abundance of gorgeous stripes!

From the red & white striped backdrop to the aqua striped tablecloth to striped peanut & popcorn bags, striped paper party straws, water bottle labels, push up pop containers, cupcake liners, clown hats (for the photo booth) and more, this party was a haven for bright summer stripes.  We even incorporated stripes on the food, using edible Wilton markers on marshmallow pops, designed to look like miniature bags of popcorn.
