Links to Love: Birthday Party Dessert Inspiration

So I have two birthday parties coming up in the next few weeks… my son Jack is turning 9 and my daughter Lili Ann is turning 7 (and after these birthdays the ages of the Rowley kids will be 11, 10, 9, 8, 7 and 6!)…. so I have some planning to do! Lili would like to have a Just Dance-themed birthday party and Jack just wants to have a sleepover with his buds. But of course, there is always the matter of what type of birthday cake to serve, and what kinds of treats to include in the party favor bags…. so I’ve been on the lookout for a little inspiration lately! And here’s a few ideas…

Cupcakes:

These french vanilla cupcakes with chocolate chip cookie dough frosting sound absolutely fantastic! Created by Dine and Dish!

Oh Six Sisters Stuff- how I adore you! And these Texas Sheetcake cupcakes will make my son Jack simply swoon!

Cookie Cups:

Oh wow….. white chocolate lava cookie cups. That just about says it all… doesn’t it? I think maybe it should be MY birthday again! Thanks Lil Luna!

Gorgeous cake:

I think my daughter Lili Ann would love this gorgeous Ombre Beach Cake (complete with white chocolate sand dollars) from Bird on a Cake!
