Vintage Cowgirl Birthday

May 14, 2012 by Carrie Sellman

Hold on to your hats because today’s featured party is SO ridiculously adorable!  A dessert display oozing with vintage charm and delicious treats.  Including not one, but two incredible cakes!  Cupcakes, whoopie pies, sugar cookies, macarons, s’mores on a stick, homemade strawberry marshmallows… the dessert list goes on and on!  This is what happens when two talented bakers join forces!  With classic backyard games and a ‘country store’ of prizes, this party has a rustic flair fit for the most precious of cowgirls.  Created by Erin Schaefgen of Three Little Blackbirds and Avalon Yarnes of Avalon Cakes, saddle up for this delightfully Vintage Cowgirl Birthday Party!

As if this display isn’t darling enough with its antique dresser and wooden milk crates, just wait until you see all of the delicious details!

Whimsical sugar cookies mimic with the incredible boot cake (more on the cake in a moment) while girly pink and brown take center stage in the Neapolitan macarons, cupcakes and whoopie pies.  And wait… I spy s’mores, on a stick!  Made with homemade strawberry marshmallows!

Okay, let’s stop for a moment and really take a good look at this cake!  No, they are not real boots.  YES, it is cake!  Continue on with the swooning…

And as promised, cake #2!  An elegant beauty perched on it’s own milk crate.  Complete with a pink cake stand and flirty flower topper!

Guests were entertained with classic cowgirl games like horseshoes, ring toss and sack racing.  Their game tickets were redeemable for candy and other goodies available at the ‘country store’.  How cute is that?

Erin from Three Little Blackbirds gives us the party scoop:

“The party was for a little cowgirl turning 8 who loves all things country.  The birthday party featured an organic dessert table with two cakes (a vintage feminine tiered cake, and a cowgirl boots cake), whoopie pies, cupcakes, smores on a stick made with homemade strawberry marshmallows, mini blackberry pies on a stick, flavored gourmet popcorn, macarons, boot sugar cookies, jars of candy, cowgirl cookie mix favors, and homemade organic flavored milks (strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and rootbeer milk).

There was also a little country store where the kids at the party could use their tickets they earned by playing games (horseshoes, lasso the cow, ring toss, and sack racing) to “buy” scoops of candy and other goodies.”

A very special thank you to Erin Schaefgen and Avalon Yarnes for sharing their Vintage Cowgirl Birthday Party with us today!  It has us kicking up our boots in excitement!
