Next time you see black and green cake stands, don’t pass them by. These colors are great for springtime or paired with pink and of course for Halloween.

Spring is officially here! And what better way to get you in the mood than with some cool treats. Included in this Water Party plan are instructions on how to make: homemade popsicles, rainbow fruit kebabs, ocean animal cookies, and frozen bananas.
Whether you call it a Water Party, an Under the Sea Party, or a Splash Party, we’ve got you covered. This party is now available for purchase in our shop. Photos by Nicole Hill Gerulat. ©One Charming Party.
To end this Strawberry Party we’re going to show you one of the cutest party ideas–a donut cake. This cake is so easy to make. Just stack up your favorite donuts and top with a candle. Party guests can eat the donuts as they please, just don’t forget to blow out the candles first. Or you can make some mini donut cakes. Just add a cute party flag, an embellishment or a single candle.
We’d like to thank one of our fave event planners Melanie Blodgett for being a guest contributor this week. Visit her on her own blog, You Are My Fave. Images ©One Charming Party.
Forget those cheesy dinosaur shaped cakes. A simple cake, roughly frosted with chocolate frosting, gives this party an earthy feel. Embellish with a chocolate frosting border at the bottom and add candy rocks, jelly beans, and green chocolate candies. Place a toy dinosaur by the cake just for fun.

This adorable clothespin doll cake topper is perfect for a Baking Party. Especially when the baker is holding a cupcake and a rolling pin. We used a simple pink cake and a pink milkglass cake stand (from Mosser Glass) to keep the focus where it belongs–on this doll, custom made to look like the birthday girl. If you would like to make one of these dolls yourself, we have step by step instructions and a few examples of different hair colors and styles, available in our downloadable pdf.

More Back to School ideas on Monday. But I wanted to post this cute picture from the County Fair party last week. For the whole photo sequence check out Nicole Gerulat’s blog. I was dying laughing as I watched the whole thing happen with these two adorable twins.
Day 3: mini cardboard cupcake stands. I’m sure you’ve seen these darling cupcake stands from Hello Hanna already. They looked too cute not to order, so I did, and they arrived last week. After I opened the package, my first reaction was, “Wow, that’s a tiny box.” But once assembled, the Sweet Stands are oh so cute. They are made of white cardboard and you assemble the stands yourself. Plus small packaging means they’re eco-fabulous. They fit a regular size cupcake and would be great for a girl’s birthday party or an old-fashioned tea party. But six to a box means you might have to order at least two boxes so each guest would have their own cupcake stand. I haven’t tested them out with a real cupcake yet, but so far I give them a thumbs up.
Maybe you saw the cupcake stands on the cover of the new Donna Hay Kids’ Magazine. And speaking of this Donna Hay Kids’ issue, two of my cousins are traveling around Australia all summer and they have promised to bring me back a few copies. So look for your chance to win this cute magazine–maybe in September when they get back home. Not a big deal to all of you Aussies, but for those of us in the States it’s impossible to get that magazine here.
These Sweet Stands from Hello Hanna are also eligible items for the giveaway. If you win you can choose any item you’d like from everything that I’m featuring this week. You can enter on any of the posts. One entry per person. Just leave a comment and a valid email address to contact you at when you win. This giveaway will close at Midnight on Friday, July 16th and I’ll post the winner on Saturday or Monday.
Day 3: you can choose one of box of Sweet Stands from Hello Hanna.
