Today I'm sharing all the details behind the food and desserts we had at the little Man's jungle safari themed first birthday. If you haven't already done so, you can enter to win an Etsy prize pack featuring all our designers over at The Wise Baby.
The dessert bar featured a safari cake, which sat on top of a vintage suitcase, with the most adorable gold elephant candle holder, thanks to Gnome Sweet Gnome Shop. The goodies on the dessert table included: rice krispy treats, cake pops, jello cups, ants on a log (with animal crackers), and delicious personalized safari hat cookies from Rollin’ in Dough. The backdrop consisted of zebra print fabric, the happy birthday banner, which hung from a bamboo frame, and animal prints from Lisa Kay Designs. Green moss, large leaf prints, and a raffia table shirt, polished off the dessert table.
We kept things simple for food and served salad & pizzas, and it's the easiest way to feed a crowd of nearly 75 people. In addition to the usual appetizers we had a cheese plate and a fruit tray with a double pineapple tree. In case you are wondering, I cut the top and the bottom off the the bottom pineapple and hallowed it out, and used skewers to secure the two pineapples together. At the beverage station, or the watering hole, we served jungle juice, water, juice pouches, Izzes, and of course milk. I created custom water bottle labels, and used the same stickers on the cups. And for added fun, I made drink flags with the little Man's favorite jungle animal sound, the roaring of a lion.
