Yep, That’s right. My 3.5 year old helped me decorate my birthday cake for my super “exclusive” 25th birthday party. Although the colors chosen were my favorites, the characters were all her doing. I had to do the Parental stuff like filling goodie bags and placing the heavy stuff on the table, but overall it was her planning.
My birthday was this past Sunday and I turned the big 25…. I can’t believe I’m 25! While others would’ve celebrated this milestone with a bang, I decided to stay home and bing watch my favorite shows. It is a tradition that our mom bake us a cake every year on our birthday and she knows my favorite filling is pineapple.
She asks what color and of course the little one screams out her favorite. “PURPLE!” Now the cake is covered in white with purple piping. What’s left is to throw the sprinkles. (Gabby’s Favorite Part.)
She chooses pink because pink and purple are her calling, I chose Gold because it’s mine. After some sprinkling, it was time to add some Decor. Due to it being a preschooler decorating, it was time to plan out how we were going to use her little charmers cupcake rings without using any cupcakes. She remembered that parties had goody bags so we made some and used the rings as closures.
I placed beautiful white Cake Stand upside down and put the small cake on top. Had to make sure it was centered or else Gabby’s moving around would’ve dropped it. Added some purple shiny fabric to the bottom (or top?) of the upside down cake stand and had gabby help place the goody bags on it. Made the set-up look a bit cleaner.
After all was done, she sang me happy birthday! Who knew my preschooler would help me have the best 25th Birthday “Party” ever?
That is so adorable! That's just about the best birthday party any mom could ask for.
What a great cake stand. I love it. Whether it is dinner or a celebration my kids are always under foot looking to help
Awww this is so cute. When I turned 40 kiddo and her dad (my ex husband) planned a Monster High party for me. It was so cute.
I hope you had a great birthday. I love how cute your cake tuned out. I need to get a cake stand like that.
This is adorable! My birthday was Sunday, too! But, I turned the dreaded 40.
Awwww!! I love that your daughter helped plan your special birthday! Happy (belated) Birthday!! Libras!! My birthday is this week. 🙂

Wow, what a lovely kid! This party of yours is awesome. Sounds like your kid is going to be an event planner!
This looks like a cute birthday party. I personally like doing parties at home because it saves money.
One of the funniest parts of being a parent I think is having my children help me. I love letting them help in the kitchen especially. Although the cleaning up after is usually not my favorite! LOL
That is too cute. It turned out wonderful.
Happy Belated! My oldest son turned 18 this past Saturday! This is SO cute I love. We are BIG fans of Little Charmers here. How fun. Hmm my 41st (EEEK! LOL) is next mth maybe I'll have my 3 yr old help me with my cake.. although she would probably put her hand into the cake before finishing it Ha
Aw, that's so sweet that your kid helped you plan the party! I love the color combination and sprinkles.
No kids here, but that was super cute! I love that she was so excited to help!
This is so sweet! My kids always help me plan parties and they love making cake. Your cake looks delicious! Happy Birthday 🙂
Haha this is too adorable!! I don't have any kids but I hope that when I do one day that we'll be just as close! Glad you had a great birthday! 🙂
I think your little one did a great job creating a memorable birthday for you. Happy Birthday and I hope the year is good to you
That's a party you will remember forever! I love the upside down cake plate idea. Fun!
LOVE the cuteness of the entire party! How amazing that she got this vibe going! Hope you have the best year yet!
I love this! So sweet that you had her help you plan, it'll be a party you'll never forget! And it's that much more special that she put her own spin on it. Happy birthday!
Everything looks so cute!! My kids have just gotten old enough where they want to help me plan their parties! I love it! I like that they can put their own creative spin on it!
Awww this is so sweet! maybe she's just a future party planner? Get her trained for birthdays, weddings, baby and bridal showers!
This is so cute! Little ones always know how to make a party fun! Sounds like you had a great party planner! 🙂
Kids always have the best ideas. She did a great job. I love the colors your little chose, The cake is so cute and I love the goodie bags.
Happy belated to you! How adorable that she planned all this. I'm sure you both had so much fun making the cake.
Belated Happy Birthday!!! That is such a sweet gesture. Glad our daughter likes to engage. My son loves taking the lead for party decorations and planning too. It's so much fun to listen to their ideas and sometimes execute them.
She'll be a future event planner! What a fun way for her to be involved and they love feeling in control. Happy bday!
That must have been super fun for her 🙂 I think she came up with a great party theme!
I'm sure she will remember this for a long time. My kids like to help too.
Doll I hate to be the one to break this to you, but your DD just scammed an extra birthday out of you! LOL
And she did that too! 😉
