We celebrated my son's first birthday party in January. I decided to give the party a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme and drew inspiration from the children's book - polkadots, bright colours, lots of fruit.
The cake was simple (we didn't want anyone breaking their New Year's Resolutions, after all), a six-inch chocolate cake with buttercream frosting and a cute Very Hungry Caterpillar on top.
Bunches of fruit from the book were set around the cake with little flags quoting the book stuck in them. All the food I served was inspired by the book, salami, swiss cheese, strawberries, apples, chocolate cake, ice cream, etc.
Meringue cookies dipped in chocolate and topped with colourful chocolate sprinkles fit with the colourful palette of the party.
Italian sodas (chosen for their bright colours and fruity flavours) were served in tall glasses.
Love the banner! What size did you cut your flags? What kind of labels did you use for the letters?
