Juice: apple juice boxes
Oranges: peeled mandarin oranges
Balloons: neighbor's young son who has his own balloon creature hourly biz
My AMAZING neighbor FrOsten's made the cake. It was what I was looking forward to most, & she did not disappoint!
I created her silhouette myself, I used this tutorial to do it. It was really simple, I took a snap shot of her with my phone, standing in front of a solid light colored wall, then opened it in PS Elements, used the magic wand to turn the background white, then selected all the white, hit select inverse & turned her little silhouette black with a paintbrush. The most time consuming part was zooming in & cleaning up the lines. I was so happy with it, I made silhouettes of my other two girls & gave them to the grandparents as Christmas gifts.
I wrapped juice boxes in scrapbook paper, taped the back & hot glued on a mini silhouette that I cut with a scalloped hole punch. The larger hole punches are pretty pricey $15-30, but they are totally worth it & you can use it for years. The first couple birthday parties I did, I hand cut out a TON of little circles, it is difficult & entirely too time consuming!

Gold paper cups with the scalloped silhouettes hot glued on, topped off with adorable paper straws (that I HATE drinking out of).
