Is everyone preparing for back-to-school? I know a few mom's that can't wait ;o)

Here are some ideas to Frost your back-to-school bash! Don't forget about older, but still fresh!, Frosting for a school party here (link)

Serve up lots of (edible) apples, crayons and cookies for your guests. Use books and flash cards as fun decor! Source

A fun centerpiece would be a supply "cake"! You could use as a door prize at the party or save it to give to your child's teacher once school starts.  Source and tutorial

 For place or buffet cards, use rulers! Source

 I love these little apple cupcakes! Especially the little bite out of them! Source

School party theme ideas/inspiration

I love how the weather is finally turning here! WOOT! I hope everyone is preparing well for the kids to go off to the new school year! I know some kids have started and other's start next week...

Here are some fun school theme party ideas to host a get to know each other party for your child and his/her new classmates!

Primary colors are a must! Traditional school lunch foods are fun to serve up! Source

You could go more grown-up for older kids... I love all the little vintage details in this table top! Tuck snacks in between and in school elements - then it becomes more about the "scene" and less about the food - love it! Source

I love the use of paper to create school themed place areas! Name plates are a must too! Source

These are EDIBLE!!! How crazy?!? This is one of my favorite fake me out edibles! These would definitely impress not only the kids but the grown-ups too! Source and tutorial
