A fairy garden party is becoming an increasingly popular birthday party theme – especially for those elementary school kids who enjoy some serious imaginary play. Tracking down recipes and decorations to suit this theme can be quite challenging when princess accessories and recipe dominate the internet. Here’s a complete list of foods and accessories you need to throw a perfect fairy party.
Your little fairies won’t believe you when you serve up some edible flower petals that are covered in sugar. How many years have you spent teaching them not to eat the berries on bushes and trees?
But today, your little ones are fairies and fairies need a very special kind of food to help them fly – crystallized flower petals!
