A teddy Bears PICNIC!!!





Today we organised a teddy bears picnic for a very special 2 year old! It was so much fun, but also very busy! With the party staring at 11am we were short on time to organise and prepare everything but it all came together just perfectly.

Colourful streamers, lanterns, and a custom made birthday banner running from the trees added colour to an already lush garden yard.
Along side that was the delicious chocolate fish (which is always a favourite), a lollipop tree, gourmet jelly beans, and marshmallows. All of which was suited to go with jelly, ice cream, and birthday cake, YUM!
The result was a dessert table suited perfectly too young children, and adults, as there was bound to be something for everyone.



Ohh and did I mention the cake?? Inspired by SugarEd productions  Easter bunny cake https://www.facebook.com/pages/SugarEd-Productions/288797535998#!/photo.php?fbid=10150691927670999&set=a.288856760998.146978.288797535998&type=1&theater  we made this birthday cake Shaped in the Birthday girls first letter of her name (M), and covered it completely in hand cut, multi coloured blossoms. You can tell we spent many hours working to achieve such detail and we along with the guests were so pleased with the results!

We also made custom favour gifts which contained a toy to play with and a takeaway package for left over treats. This was all summed up by a cute little poem.
"Thanks for coming over today, heres a toy for you to play. and when you leave if you wish, use this as a take home dish" - The Candy Stand


We also decorated the property with unique signs such our handmade 'no bear hunting' sign. After all a bear must at all times must be protected whilst attending a teddy bears picnic, you would not want to endanger some of your most important guests!
With a fabulously warm day, great company, and some classic kids games (which adults can play too) you have yourself a party worth remembering!
We absolutely loved the results that we achieved and enjoyed every aspect of creating this teddy bears picnic birthday party for a special 2 year old.
