Sock Monkey Birthday – Dessert Buffet
Jennifer from Shutterbug and the Sweet Life sent over these ADORABLE pics of the fabulous dessert buffet that she created (and photographed!) for her son’s Sock Monkey themed birthday party!
Creative details included a super-cute custom bunting, sock monkey cupcake toppers with an argyle pattern accent, “Monkey Munchies” adorned with baker’s twine (love the addition of the red m&ms here!), and old fashioned Coca-Cola bottles that added another splash of nostalgia – in the perfect colors!
Check out the fun sock monkey fabric in the bunting backdrop!
A few more fun detail shots…

I love the entire theme. We are doing a monkey theme baby shower and this would be great since mama doesn’t want to know the gender. I love those cupcake toppers. LOVE them.
Holy Moly! Why was I not invited?!? I know we don’t know each other from Adam but still. Too bad all my boy’s birthdays were the 22 and 23 of Aug. I LOVE this.
What an adorable birthday party theme. It would be equally suitable for a girl or a boy!
Very cute!
Such a cute theme! Everything looks amazing – love the cupcake toppers!

I LOVE this party idea and would like to know where you found the material for the top of the Monkey Munchies jars?
Too cute!! I Love the cupcake toppers! Where did you get them? Great job!
I made the cupcake toppers and candy buffet labels myself using Photoshop. I got the material for the top of the jars from our local fabric store, but I’ve also seen it on Etsy!
Thanks for all the sweet comments!
