Here was the invite
The birthday girl on her special day!
This beehive door hanger welcomed everyone to the party
I had been wanting to do a candy buffet for some time, and figured now was my perfect chance. I had somewhat of a hard time finding a good selection of yellow and black candy, mostly from a few supply stores in Salt Lake and then a couple online. Here is the treat table. I had so much fun decorating it, just looking at it makes me smile!
Sugar cookies with fondant bee's
Bumble Bee cake pops
Beehive cake and Bumble Bee smash cake
The beehive was 4 layers of vanilla cake iced in vanilla buttercream, covered with yellow fondant, and decorated with fondant bumble bees and flowers.
Smash cake was iced in yellow buttercream with black fondant stripes and sugar paper wings
Drinks and more treats
Popcorn cones
We didn't play any games, since it was Avery's birthday, I just had a simple craft for all the kids. They each made an antenna using a headband, pipe cleaners, and pom poms. They chose whatever colors they wanted and then I helped glue the pom poms on with the hot glue gun.
They actually turned out pretty cute and all the kids really enjoyed them. They all started acting like little bumble bees and running around "making honey" and stinging all of the adults, it was kinda cute. Here is my little honey in her antennas...
Bring on the cake!
After a quick wash down it was time for Avery to open her presents. I must say that I was surprised how much she got into opening presents. I remember with Mason he was just so pooped that we all did it for him, this was much more fun.
For the party favors, I found empty honey bear bottles online and filled them with candy and put a cute little tag.
Some were filled with yellow m&m's for the older kids, and other were filled with cheerios for the little ones.
Here is a close up of the tags. One side had a bee and the other had a little thank you, so cute!
The after party: David finishing off the cake!
Avery says thanks to everyone for such a fun party and for all the great presents!
