Children's birthday parties are not what they used to be. With the invention of Etsy, kids's parties today are practically on steroids. A birthday party is not just about picking a theme and having matching plates and table covers...maybe a pinata....now it is all about dessert tables, craft tables and beyond!
For my cousin she lucked out. Her two daughters both have September birthdays. So it makes it a little easier to plan an all out birthday party extravaganza and she only has to do it once. This year they were celebrating 4 and 2. The theme was Rainbow Paint Party and she went - ALL OUT.

The cupcake display was just too cute! A paint palette with the cupcakes as the "paint" - who's ready to get creative?!

Here is a little closer look at the paint palette cookies I made! These were absolutely adorable and fun to make. Really easy too. The hardest part was making up all the "paint" colors. I had about 8 different piping bags full of frosting and I only messed up on the colors twice! Should have just went with my gut instinct to begin with.

Dont you just want to lick the frosting? You know you want to...These cupcakes are using my favorite homemade vanilla cupcake recipe...well actually it is a recipe for "funfetti" I just skipped out on the sprinkles but it probably would have been perfect for the them now that I think about it...

Here is a few more cupcakes to drool over! I know I mentioned I made other desserts like the cake pops and the chocolate dipped rice krispy treats...I forgot to take a close up picture of them...I get lazy... If you have never had a rice krispy dipped in chocolate...you are missing out my friend. I just had one for the first time and I thought I died and went to heaven!!
