Strawberry Shortcake Party Dessert Table



I knew I wanted a sweets/desserts table and I came across this site and created my own "make your own strawberry shortcake bar"!  I printed images of Strawberry and added my own words like "Oh so sweet, make yourself a treat" to the whipped cream. I also added a sample menu and framed it.
My awesome sister made strawberry shaped cake pops and regular chocolate cake pops on the center tier.  The ingredients for the dessert bar were:



Strawberries macerated
Whipped cream
Cheesecake pudding
Sliced angel food cake (store bought)




Toppings: pineapple, shredded coconut, nuts, mini-chocolate chips, nilla wafers and sprinkles

Making Paper Circle Garlands - Party Decor





 Using a 1 inch and 3/4 inch hole punches, cut out a variety of colors.  For the strawberry shortcake themed birthday party I used red, light pink, hot pink, and lime green colors. 
Stack them up in random order and have them ready next to your sewing machine because once you start you may want to go fast!

Don't waste your time by creating any particular order.  I started to do this then discovered the best part of these garlands were how random the colors and sizes were.  (see below it will make more sense :))



           Are you ready? Start sewing!


Finished product! I used thumb tacks and randomly placed them among tissue poms I purchased on Etsy.
