Hello Lovelies,
Wow! It's been a long time between drinks. Hope you all have been well! We're been pretty busy here at Bella Cupcakes HQ and haven't had much time to update my blog {So sorry}
At the end of last year my Isabella celebrated turning FIVE!! Where has the time gone? For her 5th birthday I wanted to do something super special for her .. you only turn five once right.
We decided on a fairy party and well I was excited to start planning things. I wanted to have a fairy party that had a vintage feel, very sweet and girly.
First thing to do was to find some gorgeous invitations which would set the mood of the party. After hours of looking for the perfect invite I came across
Serendipity Soiree. Catherine does the MOST gorgeous invitations and paper collections. I knew I had to get in touch with her to see if she would design Isabella's invitations. And Oh My Goodness! I fell in love as soon as she sent through the draft. It was exactly what I wanted.
Catherine design a hand illustration paper collection - Isn't is so pretty? hehe
So Welcome to Isabella's Enchanted Fairy Party!
I hope you all can stay awhile and enjoy!
We decide to have the party at Cornwall Park underneath the large gorgeous trees which give a great feel for the party. It was an absolutely beautiful day and I was very excited to set everything up.
The sweets table all ready and now we wait for all the little fairies and pirates to arrive.
Miss Isabella Fairy's birthday cake. I took inspiration from the invitations. I absolutely love creating this cake for my little girl.

Isabella helped me baked these honey cookies and I had so much fun decorating them.
Also on the menu were White chocolate vanilla bean & raspberry macarons, coconut macarons and salted caramel macaroons. Chocolate cake pops dipped in white chocolate decorated with roses and butterflies.
White chocolate mini cupcakes with vanilla bean swiss meringue buttercream.
Lots of gorgeous flowers in little terra-cotta pots, doilies to give that vintage feel and tree stumps to give that woodland feel. I made chocolate cake filled with vanilla bean swiss meringue buttercream and fresh raspberries. This was enjoyed by all after we played a game of pass the parcel. Adults and kids all joyed in!! Was so much fun.
Chilled old fashion lemonade and Peach Juice served in these gorgeous vintage jar drink dispensers.
All of Isabella's friends arrived to find a fairy dress and headwear waiting for them.

Serena the Fairy entertained the kids with a treasure hunt, magical stories, making magical wands and doing the girls nails and glittering their cheeks.
All the fairies and pirates had such a wonderful day! And it was so lovely that all our closest friends and family were able to come and join us and celebrate our little girl turning five.
