Mardi Gras Sweet Sixteen

Hey everyone!
 I recently came across a really cool theme: Mardi Gras!!!
 Mardi Gras means "Fat Tuesday." It is traditionally a celebration of the day before  the beginning of lent, a time of fasting. On Mardi Gras, people usually celebrate by wearing crazy costumes and masks and eating!
 This theme can be used for tons of different occasions, which I will hopefully get to another time. But, for now, my topic is Sweet Sixteens. Sweet Sixteens are generally big parties. Mardi Gras, in comparison is also  huge!
 This is a cake that I found to match the theme:


 This cake incorporates the three main colors of Mardi Gras: Green, purple, and gold. On top, it has a traditional Mardi Gras mask with hanging diamonds. It is a topsy turvy cake, which are very popular with kids and teenagers. There are many different shapes portrayed. This cake was made by Cake Fiction.

Party decorations should not be used sparingly. Mardi Gras is an elaborate and exuberant celebration. As shown in the cake, its three main colors are green, gold, and purple.



I found this image on the internet and thought that it was a great sweet sixteen party idea. It is big and yet very pretty.
 A cool idea would be to give away masks that everyone could wear throughout the party and buy or create a huge, colorful one for the birthday girl (or in some cases, boy). Just make sure not to cover her entire face! We want her to be seen!!!!

Hi! This is my new blog. It will be all about events and parties. I will soon be having my sweet sixteen and my little sister is about to be baptized and I can't wait to start planning! My mother works in the wedding and party business, so it's in my blood! She makes those amazing cakes like the ones that you see on television. I hope to help anybody that is planning a party by giving them ideas for themes, venues, food, and more! Because there are so many occasions to throw a party, I can tell you about all of them! Some times, people have great ideas, but do not know how to put them together and make them make sense, so I hope I can help those people make their .
