airplane party for the birthday boy.

Our little man turned 4. He’s officially no longer a toddler, but is completely still my baby. Kaden is full of energy and spunk, all while being my little cuddle bear. I cherish my days with him and have loved watching him grow. He is writing his name, enjoys playing video games with daddy, Legos are pretty much the coolest things ever in his eyes, and he is about to start preschool. Our buddy boy is beyond a blessing to our family of four.

I always get so excited for birthdays in my house, especially for my kids! I love all the planning, creating the invites, making the decorations, and baking the cake. This year, Kaden decided he wanted an airplane birthday. A red and blue airplane birthday. I kept it simple with decorations and did snacks for the moms and kids. A couple simple games and cupcakes. I’d say it was a hit. Here are little snapshots of the party for you to enjoy!

The cupcakes are my gluten free vegan vanilla cupcakes. I made them even more fantastic by adding blue and red sprinkles! For the cupcake toppers, I used cardstock and this paper punch (which I adore!). I found the cute little foam airplanes at the dollar store. Inexpensive and adorable.

This cake couldn’t have been easier to make! Have you ever tried the petal or cloud frosting technique? It’s been around forever and is now my new favorite. I used my vanilla cupcake recipe for the cake too, adding the red and blue sprinkles. It’s a 6″ double-layer cake. I wish I came up with the pendant banner cake topper idea. It’s just too cute! For mine, I used chevron paper, red and white twine and 2 bamboo skewers. I’m a girl who loves simple cakes!

All the hard work that goes into planning their birthday parties…totally worth it.
Just look at those sweet faces!

My kids have a sweet tooth. Wait, doesn’t every kid? They get so excited when I make these chocolate-dipped marshmallow pops. They can get it on the fun and help make them too. Stick a gluten free pretzel in a marshmallow, dip half in melted chocolate chips and sprinkle on the sprinkles. Quickest kid-friendly treat for your next party!

The snacks were some of Kaden’s favorites…popcorn, chips and guacamole, red bell peppers, grapes, and watermelon. You don’t need anything fancy for a kids birthday party, just a fun variety for your guests. Something healthy, something salty, and of course…something sweet.

Make a wish, my sweet boy.

One girl amongst all those boys. Such a cute bunch of kids.

Little man.

We love celebrating your precious life, Kaden! Happy Birthday!
