Real Party: Red Egg & Ginger Party

We attended a Reg Egg & Ginger Party for a friend's baby last weekend.  This is a traditional Chinese celebration where parents introduce their new baby to family and friends.  

 {You can read more about this tradition here.}

They used this invite from Tiny Prints.  Isn't it sweet? 

My friend Lindsay and I made a small dessert table for the party.  They ordered cupcakes from Cupcake Man, and Lindsay and I made cake pops and then set up the display at the restaurant. 

They requested the colors of the table be red & yellow.  We made a little ribbon-trimmed runner. 

 Our cake pops were, of course, shaped like red eggs.  The guest of honor's traditional Chinese name was printed on little flags on the sticks.  Lindsay covered low boxes in fabric and ribbon, and we used some clear glass vase filler to cover floral foam. 

 Cupcake Man made some beautiful cupcakes: Ginger & Red Velvet flavored. 

We painted some eggs red and decoupaged others in yellow paper to hang from tree branches in the background. 

I've never seen desserts devoured so quickly at an event. 

What a fun little display to put together!
