It has been three months since the event, but better late then never! The following is a quick post about Pudding Pie's fabulous rainbow-themed 5th birthday bash.
How do you fancy our rainbow banner? I think we had about 80 balloons in this! All balloons blown up the old school way by Mommy. Next time, I'm investing in one of those balloon pumps! I found a wonderful step-by-step tutorial on how to execute this at Design Mom.
The invitations and rainbow labels were custom designed by the super talented Heather of Chickabug.
I made the rainbow cake, and although it had a rather severe tilt (6 layers will do that), I was so pleased with the end result. (My first time working with fondant, too!) My dear friend, Jackie, of 1derful Bakes, gave me a crash course in fondant decorating, and Pudding Pie decorated the top with edible markers. I wish I could say I came up with the rainbow cake recipe on my own, but I didn't. I have the Whisk Kid to thank for this – found via Sweetapolita's fab site – thank you, talented ladies!
Pudding Pie rocked her rainbow leotard from Jilly Beans (worn backwards as it turns out).
The food was rainbow-themed wherever possible. Rainbow slice 'n bake cookies found via the Good Life Eats blog. My finished result did not exactly resemble hers, but I like to think it was close!
Rainbow treats galore!
So much fun! I do recommend the rainbow theme; the possibilities are endless. Your biggest problem will be where to stop!

What a sweet party Katherine had!! I love all the ideas you got from blogs, like the balloon arch, the cookies, and the scribble cake. Thank you for mentioning me - I really appreciate it! : )
