Axel's Donut Party | 4 Years Old

Axel's Donut Party | 4 Years Old

So Axel is a breakfast lover! He could eat cereal, honey buns, pancakes, muffins, and donuts everyday if I let him. This was the first year he told me exactly what he wanted for his big day. An "orange cake and donuts!" so we made it happen. It was a bummer no one could come (due to mean ol' Covid), but we made it work with a "donut you wish you were here" party where everyone virtually tuned in to show him love on his day. He is so loved!

I wanted to share his donut party with you because I know I always like to look at other parties for ideas for my own kiddos, but also to have the memories saved here.

Nothing too "special" about the actual cake. I never made them from scratch haha. I do use Duncan Hines cake though because in my opinion they are the best! He requested vanilla and like I mentioned before orange so I just used some fondant dye to make the vanilla icing orange. This cake was super easy with the fondant part because it was only the words with plan white fondant. I used fondant letter cutters for those. I then added the donut holes around the cake using tooth picks to keep them in place and 4 candles for the big boy turning 4 years old!

The rest was pretty easy ordering cheap donut theme decor from Amazon, some neon donuts from a local donut shop, making food labels, and like I mentioned his love for cereal made that the easiest snacks. Plus being a virtual party we didn't need a lot of snacks.

This was the easiest (and fastest to set up) party to date and he loved it. Thank you again to our family that tuned in for this one and still made his day special.

No longer my little bitty baby, but my growing Axel that is funny, caring, the biggest mommy's boy, donut loving, gamer boy, and most of all strong and hard headed like your mommy. I love you so much. Happy 4th birthday! XO
