Dessert Table Set-up
We recently celebrated our niece's 6th birthday and we were asked to plan a dinosaur themed party! We've complied a list of ideas for the dessert table, cake, activities and the invitation card for a perfect dinosaur party. Keep reading to get inspired!
Dessert Table
We wanted to keep the look of the dessert table classy and kept the colour palate primarily brown, white, red and green. The table elements included purple cupcakes as it's Alex's favourite colour and it helped create a very personal quirky touch!
Here's the full list of the items on the dessert table:
Dinosaur Egg Cake - Twinniefoods
Dinosaur Banner - Gackter (gackter@gmail.com)
Cupcake Stands - IKEA
White and Green Prehistoric Leaves - Daiso ($2 each)
Green AstroTurf - Giant ($20 each)
In total, we used 3 wooden crates to create height and filled the empty spaces with the goodie bags that were done by the birthday girl's mom. She also prepared chilled fresh fruit skewers (strawberries, purple and green grapes) and they were the perfect healthy treats for both kids and adults.
Red Velvet cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream & Digestive Crumb
The small dinosaur toy toppers were from Daiso and it was a hit with the kids!
This awesome dinosaur banner was inspired by MudPuddlesNRuffles dinosaur banner. This banner was designed, printed and hand cut by the very talented individual, Joan. If you are in need of custom invites or banners etc. you can contact her at gackter@gmail.com!
Cake
We wanted to bake a special birthday cake for Alex and we found an incredible dinosaur egg cake we really liked. Using this cake as a reference, we sculpted a giant dino egg measuring 10"(H) x 7"(W).

Activities
For the main activity, we organised a Dino Egg hunt for the children and the kids had so much fun! The plastic egg shells were from Cold Storage and we hid a couple of sweets and mini dinosaurs that were from Daiso in there as a bonus (kids who got the dinosaurs got an extra large smarties).
Invitations
We wanted a cute invitation and this design was absolutely perfect! To access the free invite, go to GreetingsIsland.
