Rainbow Party
Two wonderful party ideas that have me inspired lately:
First, a rainbow cake. It is so wonderful!
Second, a balloon party. I’m still not sick of balloons. I buy them every time I go to the grocery store and they make me happy EVERY time. This could be pulled off for not too much money, it would just take some time to blow them all up.

Gorgeous balloons! It would be so fun to go to that party.
So beautiful! I love that cake! I posted about this mondrian-inspired cake recently; I think I'm going to have to play with non-flavor-offending food dyes soon…
Here is the original source on the rainbow cake – I agree – such a lovely colour palate.

The cake is gorgeous. And the balloons are lovely. Completely reminds me of the movie UP. Just saw it on dvd and cried my eyes out.
That birthday cake is too cool. I can't imagine how tedious it would be to recreate.
That rainbow cake looks amazing!
My gosh! Colourful Rainbow Cakes & Colourful balloons.Inspirational!
Ugh, but I want to know HOW to make that cake! It's got to be something relatively simple, right? I just don't get it
those balloons are amazing!!!
That cake is so cool! I have never seen anything like it.
This reminds me of the Rainbow Bright Party I had when I was three. My mom made rainbow colored Playdough. Perhaps I'll have a rainbow cake and balloon party for my 30th…hmmm
that cake looks like a lot of work to me!!
*Love* That cake! Wow! And what fun those balloons would be! Fabulous ideas! Thanks!!
The balloons and cake are perfect together!
that cake is too cool! i would love to see how to do it.
The cake! The balloons! Yes please!
Did you see the rainbow paincakes posted today on OhDeeDoh? I thought of you!
now i've seen some great rainbow cakes, but this one is just stunning! you always have the most inspiring party ideas!
I love rainbow cakes, too! I'm thinking of doing one for my son's birthday this May. How much fun would the kids have cutting in to that? Not to mention me.
I want that cake! Not to eat of course just to admire its beauty… okay and maybe eat too.
I LOVE the balloon party! Except it makes me so sad with the near-extinct helium shortage: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-12-02-Helium_N.htm.
You must urban dictionary Rainbow Party. I knew I recognized that title from an episode of Oprah!
that rainbow cake brought immediate images of rainbow brite!
LOVE the rainbow cake! The balloons put me in mind of the movie Up! – how perfect to combine the two for an amazing kids party….
love these… that cake is especially amazing; i wonder how difficult it was to assemble.
It seems to be related with a food design company in Netherlands called Proef -http://www.proefamsterdam.nl/
oh my goodness, this is so fun! i love the balloons, and that cake looks like it took some work, but was well worth it.
For the commenters: this gal has instructions from her copy of this post.

Those balloons remind me of that scene in Sex and the City the movie where they are at that restaurant eating for Valentine's Day and it is full of balloons! Anybody with me? I love all the colors! I want to go to that party
