Wonder Woman Dessert Table

Wonder Woman has been my favorite superhero since I was a little girl so naturally I had a blast creating this dessert table featuring our latest Superhero party backdrop.

Wonder Woman has gone through several looks through the years, but my favorite has always been the Wonder Woman I remember from when I was a little girl in the early 80s. I loved watching the TV show with Lynda Carter and I even remember having Wonder Woman underoos! 

The Dessert Table & Decor:
I wanted a retro comic feel with red, turquoise and yellow as the main colors. I started with a black background and our Superhero party backdrop. I added the cut out action words for extra flair.  Using my Silhouette, I made black cityscapes to wrap around the candy jars, Wonder Woman crowns for cupcake wrappers and treat boxes, Eagle chest emblems for the treat boxes, Wonder Woman logos and cupcake toppers. 

The Sweeties:
I made cupcakes with gold lightning bolt fondant toppers and candy covered cereal treats topped with fondant stars. I topped golden Oreos with the retro candy decorations that I found at Target on clearance for 50 cents along with the Superman and Batman party picks I also found on clearance.  I filled the candy jars with gumballs and m&ms, and used yellow Twizzlers as Wonder Woman's lasso. I filled striped popcorn boxes with popcorn and wrapped a crown around the base.

Paper Stationery:
I made Wonder Woman stickers for the small candy containers and favor tags for the large favor boxes.  I wrapped candy bars with comic pages I printed and also made matching treat bags.

Remember those icky candy decorations we used to get on our cakes in the 80s? I was so excited when I came across these at Target! Nothing says retro like these candy decorations!

I found a silicon lightning bolt ice tray in Target's dollar spot and used it to make these fondant toppers. Super easy!

Did you know Wonder Woman has been romantically linked to both Superman and Batman? What a lucky lady!

Tidbit:

Our new backdrop isn't limited to Wonder Woman, it can easily be used for Superman, Batman, Spiderman and other popular superhero themed parties!

I think this theme is one of my all time favorites, I hope you enjoyed it as well and find lots of inspiration for your next Superhero party!

A Captain America Party for Peyton!

Happy Monday! I don't know about you, but my house is super excited about the Avengers movie opening this weekend.

So in the spirit of all things super, here is a fantastic Captain America party my friend Courtney from Picture Perfect Party Designs and Buttercream Bling created for her son. Here are the highlights according to Courtney....

"My five year old really believes he will be a super hero when he grows up, so in the mean time he passes his days being obsessed with the best of them! Captain America is by far his favorite though. So when it came time to think of a theme for his party, it was a no brainer!

He played a very active role in the planning of his party, he was adamant there be cake pops, a Captain America figure on his own Jumbo cupcake and a pinata! Those were easy orders to fill. We got Michelle from Party Plan-It Designs to help out with a massive banner to match everything. I also enlisted the help of my very talented photographer friend Erica Williams.

Through my cupcake business, Buttercream Bling, I made the cupcakes, cake pops, cake balls, cookies, fondant toppers and other desserts. My party planning alter ego, Picture Perfect Party Designs created all the other decor.

We played several games, one in which the kids rescued the world from the evil Red Skull and were rewarded with Medals of Honor. In addition to the snacks and dessert bar, we served Bahama Bucks shaved Ices, "The best shaved ice on the planet" in my son's opinion. It's pretty amazing.

We also asked the kids to come dressed as their favorite super hero (we made his Captain America Costume ourselves) and they made their own shields. It was a great party"
