But back then, themed birthday parties are not common, so it was not really like a big deal. People were just happy to see her strawberry shortcake cake, her strawberry shortcake giveaways, the house decorations and even my daughter's dress is strawberry shortcake themed. the most rewarding part though is the twinkle in my daughter's eyes signaling how happy she is with her birthday.
So when my other daughter also had her second birthday, I also did a Hello Kitty themed party. By this time, themed birthday parties are slowly catching the vibe. I opted on utilizing cupcakes instead of cake to be the center of attraction in her kiddie buffet table and I utilized some of her Hello Kitty collections and my cousin made balloon sculptures as gifts.
My other cousins saw what I did with my daughter's birthday party that they too wanted themed parties for their children. The beauty of having a big family is that you have a lot of cousins who would be willing to help out with the set up and perhaps, also because I came from a family of artists, I was lucky to have a cousin who is a balloon artist as well. Here are the results:
I then began a pure pastry buffet, not all of them are themed since I do accept small orders if the client wants to include balloon sculpture, they'd have to talk to my cousin so she can offer her own packages for it as well. I also accept buffet consignment from other event coordinators but I do keep a collection of stands and jars as well as a chocolate fountain.
Here are some samples of my Kiddie Buffet:
