On a beautifully hot Melbourne day in Australia , we celebrated my daughter Tahlia’s first birthday.
This past year has simply flown and my baby girl is now a walking, talking toddler!
In fact, it was so hot on the day of the party I had to set-up the dessert table inside as I feared my buttercream frosting and birthday cake would simply melt away.
I have been a little obsessed with chevron prints since I discovered them about 18 months ago. I just cannot get enough of that print! It brings a smile to my face every time I see it.
Anyway, the idea for the theme for the party came to me while I was sunbaking on the beaches of the Greek Islands back some five months ago.
Tahlia is always smiling so it just clicked that I would style a ‘my little sunshine’ party for her first birthday.
Sweets on the dessert table included:
- A Lemon Delicious birthday cake
- Caramel mudcake cupcakes
- Banana babycakes
- Vanilla cookies
- Coconut Ice
- Sunshine cake pops
- Chocolate bars
- An assortment of lollies and lollipops
- Traditional lemonade
Other sunshiny details at the party included:
- A drinks table outdoors
- A sun piñata
- Chevron favour tote bags plus copies of Little Miss Sunshine and Mr Happy books
- The word 'one' covered in chevron print paper with balloons attached.
- A sweet felt party hat for the birthday girl
- A paper bunting for the highchair
- Chevron paper bitty bags filled with lemon jellybeans
Tahlia's first taste of a cake pop. She enjoyed it so much in fact, she ate two. |

The complete range of My Little Sunshine Party Printables will be available for purchase later this week. |
A big thank you to all the various suppliers and vendors who I sourced products from for this little party.
