Today I’m featuring a cooking theme birthday party that was submitted by a very special customer, Brenda! She says, “My son Stavros’ favorite thing is cooking, so naturally that was the theme for his third birthday party! We held the party at a local restaurant, where the owner was incredibly accommodating.” The aqua and red party decor was creative and fun, and kids enjoyed cooking pizzas and decorating cupcakes (and wearing funny press-on mustaches!).

To create Stavros’ party table, Brenda hung paper chef hats that she accented with color-coordinated ribbons. The backdrop is actually a re-purposed shower curtain from Urban Outfitters!

Brenda says, “The invitations were hand-delivered on cutting boards with a blank recipe card inside for the kids to bring to the party, filled out with their favorite recipe to share with Stavros!” A personalized sticker was used to seal each envelope, and a teal ribbon was the finishing touch.

I love the mix of patterns used for the table, and the fresh red, aqua, and white color scheme!

Brenda took a special birthday picture of Stavros that she displayed at the party (on the left). In it, he’s wearing a personalized chef hat and chef coat from Sugarfoot Boutique.

Party food idea: Serve popcorn in cones made from pretty scrapbook papers

How cool are these treat cones! They’re homemade using patterned digital paper from Lane and May Studio. The fork, knife and spoon were stamped on the inside of each cone using a hand-carved stamp from Brown Pigeon.

A personalized printable sign welcomes the little chefs to the birthday boy’s Café (actually the restaurant, of course)!

These mustaches crack me up! They were purchased on Amazon.

Brenda says, “I set up a pizza station where the kids rolled out their own pizza dough, then put on the sauce and their preferred toppings. I absolutely loved this part: and so did the kids! Later, when we sat down for our formal dinner, the kids thought we were eating the pizzas they ‘made,’ but they were actually from the restaurant. We felt it was best to leave the real cooking to the chefs in the kitchen!”

“The kids also got to decorate their chef hats and aprons with fabric paint and fabric markers! I set up a station that was just for decorating and the kids were good to go!”

Cooking themed party - cupcake decorating

Brenda says, “After eating birthday cake, the kids decorated their cupcakes with Stavros’ favorite – M&M’s. Since they just had cake, the kids got to wrap up their cupcakes to take home and enjoy later. Stav’s favorite part of the evening was decorating his cupcake!”

Cooking themed party goodie bags

Brenda was very generous with her favors! She says, “The main party favor was the ‘Kids in the Kitchen Book and Kit’ by Micah Pulleyn and Sarah Bracken. The kids also got cookie cutters which were put in chevron treat bags, theme-coordinated candies inside personalized muslin bags, milk chocolate lollipop mustaches, white chocolate lollipop chef hats, a chocolate dipped marshmallow pop with a chef holder, a personalized ABC cook book with a personalized book plate inside, coloring pages and a personalized water bottle. A lot of details and a lot of fun!”
