Sweet Treat buffet

Harrys birthday was in the park this year, not far from home, and it was his first party with all of his little school friends - too cute, so I had to keep in mind that it was at the park when it came to decorating the sweets table!I also had to keep in mind that I left nearly everything to the last minute (not like me) so some things got left out, but overall, for a rush job I was pretty happy with how it turned out, next year I will be more organised.  I was still creating the cupcake toppers as I was running out the door today lol.

I bought some delicious items from Little big Company in the past few weeks and put to use some of them today.  I made the sweets labels, the fancy decorative bits on each are from the stamp set called "four frames".

The birthday cake that I had made:


The cupcakes I made: I also made the cupcake wrappers and embossed them with the spider web embossing folder from SU (nah).  The cupcake toppers I made also with the retired stamp set party hearty, and the two current punches.
The gorgeous little individual cupcake holders I got from the Little Big Company, just love them to bits - they come in pink white and blue.



The spider biscuits were made by my mum, thanks mum xx, and the loot bags were to the right on the table.
The gorgeous little sweet sticks were also purchased at the Little big Company, loved them.

I purchased a mould of spiderman and made my own spiderman pops out of chocolate, wrapped them in a small treat bag and tied them with matching ribbon.


I also had two little glass jars with jelly beans and licorice allsorts for the kids, and a tray of macarons.
And finally the scrumptious macarons from Lil Miss Macaron, these lovelies are white choc flavoured yum!  If you haven't tried her macarons you SHOULD!!!




I also purchased some little milk containers in glass from the Little Big company also with some beautiful paper straws, but as my life has been one speed these past few weeks - flat out, I just ran out of time I was going to fill them with blue lemonade.
