This was such a cute party theme for a 1 year old birthday party! I was so happy to help out with this project. The boy's mom already did an amazing job with all of the decorations, the drink station, the cake... I had the privilege of making some desserts, veggie cups (per my past blog posts, you know by now I'm obsessed with those!) and some favor boxes! Here are some of the desserts I made: Theme cookies are always a go-to for me, kids snatch them up. I have a cheap box of '101 Cookie Cutters' (got them years ago from Kohls for $7) and sure enough there was a plane in there! My trick is to always make some "theme" cookies, but then to add a bunch of regular ones too to make the pile look bigger/more diverse. I also had so much fun making these propeller marshmallow pops - they were easier than they look! I simply melted chocolate and put it in a piping container, drew a figure 8 (creative/artistic people could probably free-hand it, but I'm not that talented) and I made a bunch on wax paper and let them cool. Then I frosted the marshmallows, stuck on the chocolate propellers, and used a little frosting to attach a small M&M for the center: I also got to make some favor boxes (they had Nutter Butters wrapped up inside for some "In-flight Peanuts" - I ended up tying some twine around the tops with a little sign that read "Thanks for Flying By!") and I printed some tags for the veggie cups (I adhere them to the cups using glue dots so they stay put, then just fill the bottom with ranch and cut veggies): For more information or a suggested airplane-themed food menu, please email me for more at [email protected].

AuthorI love writing romance novels, editing other people's novels, planning parties (heavy on the theme food!) and watching movies. Cooking has also become a passion of mine (because you can't have a proper party without food!) and I love finding new hobbies when I can squeeze them in. Archives
