OLD FASHIONED ICE CREAM PARLOR PARTY DETAILS:
This is what Danielle said about planning the party– “For my twins 2nd birthday party I decided on an Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor theme. Since we have girl/boy twins the I stuck to a neutral color palette of red, brown and blue DIY PROJECTS: The first project to tackle was the ice cream parlor awning – which was a perfect job for my hubby :) The awning frame was actually super easy and inexpensive to make. For the canopy I ordered several yards of white fabric, measured out the lines to the desired width and painted on the red stripes and cut the scallop (using a large plate as a template). Next was the sign that displayed above the dessert table. It was my first attempt at DIY hand drawn chalkboard lettering and I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. DESSERTS: The dessert table was fairly simple with ice cream being the main feature. Guests could choose from a variety of cones, build their own sundae or make their own root beer float. Other “ice cream inspired” desserts (all made in my very own kitchen) included: – Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops – “Drumstick” Cake Pops – Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes – Rice Krispy “Ice Cream Bars” – Chocolate Malts Instead of a large cake I decided to make very simple, individual cakes for each child.”
