Aloha!  This tropical Luau Birthday Party is full of fabulous ideas for celebrating summer birthdays.

Luau Birthday Party Dessert Table

Who wouldn’t want to celebrate their birthday in paradise?  For this birthday party I transformed the backyard into a special tropical paradise for the birthday girl and her 2nd birthday celebration.  The beautiful backyard provided the perfect backdrop for this Luau themed party where guest enjoyed tropical goodies from custom tiki huts.  A small kids table was set up near Bella’s Tiki Hut with festive pineapple cups, buckets of sand and colorful leis.

After splashing in the pool and soaking up the sun guest enjoyed dinner and lots of sweet goodies from the “Sugar Shack.”  A three layer tropical cake was adorned with colorful hibiscus and the focal point of the dessert table.  Cupcakes with custom fondant toppers from Love & Sugar Kisses matched the festive luau printables by The Paper Cupcake perfectly.  Other sweet treats included a variety of tropical cookies from Sweet Tweets and Pina Colada cake pops and hibiscus cookies from The Hospitality Sweet.  Fresh fruit and pineapple yogurt dip provided a refreshing treat for guest to enjoy after a dip in the pool.

    Hi Mariah,
    What’s the recipe for the chocolate coconut with mini umbrella? My niece loves coconuts and she’ll freak out if I make them for her bday.
    I hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks,
    Cherish

      Cherish, they are chocolate cake pops made by a local bakery. I bet you could easily make them by using a cake pop recipe and adding a little sprinkle of coconut to the top. Good luck!

      Thank you so much Carrie! I made a fluffy fruit dip, I believe I found the recipe on Taste of Home. It’s been a while since I made it, but I remember that it had cream cheese and Cool Whip and you can’t go wrong with that combination. 🙂

A 1920s-themed Murder at Midnight NYE Murder Mystery Party is the perfect way to ring in the new year with your teens. This is a fun and interactive party that your guests will think is the bee’s knees and with the help of @orientaltrading it’s easy to recreate this glitzy and glamorous celebration.

Bring back the lavish ambiance of the Roaring 20s with a shimmery gold backdrop, lots of art Deco decor, and dress up the dessert bar with tiered glasses of sparkling cider, pearls, white feathers and fancy desserts.

Everyone will have a blast trying to solve the mystery of “who dunnit” while they wait to ring in the new year!
