Outer Space Birthday

February 29, 2012 by Carrie Sellman

Today’s party is truly out of this world!  We see so many adorable parties for little girls and babies… but great parties for little boys seem harder to come by.  That makes today’s post even more fun!  With a modern color scheme, oodles of creative details and a beautiful table of solar snacks, this party is perfect for little astronauts.  Jasmine Clouser of The Couture Cakery let her imagination soar when she created this party for her son’s 5th birthday.  Get ready to blast off for some fun and adventure with this incredible Outer Space Birthday Party!

Outer Space Birthday Party

Jasmine designed the invitation along with the custom party printables, building upon a grey, orange, lime green and blue color scheme.  From there, she created a charming cake, cupcakes and cookies to match!  I love that Jasmine’s cake is modern and playful yet do-able for at home bakers.  She used cookie cutters to create the colored shapes out of fondant and a rubber letter stamp to emboss her son’s age and initial.

Oodles of Solar Snacks brought this theme to life!  From Planet Pops (red velvet cake pops inspired by Bakerella) to stick candies shaped like a space shuttle, astronaut and planet Earth.

Outer Space Birthday Party

Trix cereal doubled as Space Rocks and provided an inexpensive treat to be served from a large apothecary jar.  Meteoroids were created by topping  round pretzels with orange candy melts and a silver sixlets.  Too clever!

Mini push pop containers are filled with M&Ms to create Booster Fuel capsules while Cookie Crisp cereal steps in as Moon Rocks!

From the vibrant paper fan backdrop to the whimsical table banner and everything in between, this party is space-tacular!  What little boy wouldn’t love to get lost in this universe of delicious sweets?

A big thank you to my friend Jasmine Clouser at The Couture Cakery for sharing this charming Outer Space Birthday Party with us!  It is truly out of this world!

    salon marketing
    It was our primary goal to give you a short guide to salon marketing, and allow you to see firsthand what can be achieved. As usual, you can multiply your efforts when your knowledge is more complete and deeper. In a moment, we will talk about this much deeper kind of knowledge that we feel greatly develops upon the above. You will be able to judge your particular needs as you examine this deeper treatment on this subject.

    marketing a salon
    We know you want to find out more about salon marketing, and coming up next is something we believe will help you in ways you do not know, yet. It is incredibly simple to overlook the most useful information because it is spread out all over the web. It is so simple to find information that is lacking in important finer points, we will say, but we do have the complete story.
