Lalaloopsy Dessert Buffet

I always have a thing for DIY birthday parties. I started making DIY's since Soleil celebrated her 1st birthday. I also think my love in reading mommy blogs influenced me to step up a little bit more.

I want to start a Dessert Buffet Styling business but I know there are lots of things I need to consider. I know there are many event planners out there that offers the same services but I'm thinking of ways to make mine different from the others. I only want to focus on the Dessert Buffet Styling not the whole party by the way plus I'm an OC, that's an advantage!

Since I'm planning this kind of business, why not start on my own child's party, right?

Soleil's theme this year is Lalaloopsy. I've been on and off working on the layouts. I only do it when I'm in the mood. (Pennants, Food Labels, Straw Flags, Cupcake Toppers, Favor Tags, Welcome Sign and Water Bottle Labels). I also personally made the backdrop and flower pompoms.

I wanted to achieve the stripe theme so I had a yellow/white/blue backdrop made from crepe paper and the pink color goes to the flower pompoms. I like to add more but I run out of time.

Buttons are a big part of Lalaloopsy and I almost jump out of joy when I saw this photo frame with buttons on it. Can you guess how much it cost? 55pesos! Super cheap! - The brownies are made by my sister in law, it tastes so good!

Here's the other side of the dessert buffet

I preferred to order a cake with boiled icing since it was our favorite. It may not look as nice as fondant cakes but it taste so much better. 

Ate and Tita Bebe helped me bake these Lollicakes with the recipe I found on YouTube.

I bought ready made cupcakes from the grocery. 55php for a pack of 10s. I also bought Whipping Powder from Baker's Hub, add food colors to match the theme and voila! Instant cutie cupcakes. We had a hard time putting it on the cupcakes though. We are no pro.

Marshmallows dipped in Chocolate

Also bought from the grocery store

This is Soleil's favorite so it's a must to have this on the table

I bought these spiral glasses for 7php each. Exclusive for kids' use

I made these bags from tracing paper then I added ribbons and small buttons on the tags to make it a lot cuter

Here's happy bday girl Soleil!

Soleil & Lalaloopsy

I've never heard of Lalaloopsy dolls until Soleil told us she wants one, she keeps on telling us about it and even look at them on the internet everyday! Walang palya, YouTube and Lalaloopsy websites. As in araw araw talaga. It's also the reason why she decided not to have a big party in celebration of her 7th birthday. Gusto nalang daw nya bumili ng madaming toys kesa mag party. (more on that on my next post)

When my niece Sam bought one, I know gustong gusto na din ni Soleil but she won't tell us because she know we'll buy on her birthday pero ang Daddy na din ang hindi nakatiis.

Me: Tingnan mo si Soleil, tumitingin nanaman ng Lalaloopsy.

Jeff: (after looking at Soleil) Pumunta na nga tayo sa SM sa Linggo. Ibibili ko na, naaawa na ko e!

So we went to SM after church that Sunday and bought her 1st Lalaloopsy Doll. Soleil's face lights up after we put the doll on our cart, the smile on her face is priceless. It's also a surprise because we didn't tell her na bibili namin sya. They only have 4 dolls to choose from and she picked Misty Mysterious, the boy doll is on sale that time, you can buy him for half the price when you get 1 girl. I think there are over 50 Lalaloopsy Dolls but not all are available here in the Philippines.

I asked her to pose with the Lalaloopsy Dolls. She doesn't know yet we'll get her one.

Finally! Here's happy Soleil with Misty

Soleil became very attached to Misty that she can't sleep without her (and her other dolls)

She brings Misty everywhere!

She even tried drawing all Lalaloopsy Dolls

And...she also made a video review of Misty. (I'll share some other time. Ang tagal kasi mag upload e)

Well Lalaloopsy Dolls are indeed cute and adorable, even I can't stop looking at them!
Prices ranges from I think 1,300 to 2,700 depending on what doll you will buy.
