It has taken me some time to post this party, this was mum’s 70th Birthday Party held at a rambling country estate over a delightful weekend. The highlight of the weekend was an owl inspired High Tea Party.

We hope you enjoy, Julie.

Our high tea included a lot of sweet delights, we made eclairs, caramel slice, lemon slice, chocolate rum balls and cup cakes, these were beautifully presented on tiered platters.

You can hardly have an owl inspired High Tea party without owl cake pops, we also made the owl cake pop nest and have the tutorial at the end of the post.

Mum has a lot of shabby chic vintage trio sets dating from the 1960’s, we also included novelty vintage teaspoons that had been collected over the years.

We created a set of out printables to compliment this party, they are available as a free download.

Petite sandwiches with classic fillings were in abundance.

Our eclectic mix of vintage trios, paired with vintage spoons were a hit. Owl napkin rings are available from our printable range.

Elegant cup cakes with Owl toppers and bright icing will brighten any table.

Our free owl printable range include bottle labels, 2 inch circles, mini bunting, napkin rings, mini toppers and food tents, they are all free to download

I really love using layered jelly, especially if you have small children, our bottle labels and mini toppers are available for download.

Tutorial - How to make an Owl Cake Pop Bird Nest

Our cake pop bird nest was quite simple to make and it added tremendously to the presentation of the cake pops, it was made using a hanging basket plant liner (available from garden or hardware stores), polystyrene circle, lots of paint in greens and browns and finally, hay, twigs and craft feathers. When placing the cake pops, use a skewer to pierce the polystyrene, and as simple as that you have an owl cake pop nest.

Chic Party Ideas - Owl Inspired High Tea

We hope you enjoyed this post, a High Tea Party is a really good option for a 70th Birthday. This party also had an amazing Owl Cake. Enjoy Julie

We recently celebrated my Mother's 70th Birthday Party, for this joyous occasion the entire family spent the weekend at a wonderful house perched proudly in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria. The weekend was full of Birthday celebrations and I will be posting more items in the weeks to come.

For many years my mother has collected owls, so they became the theme of the party. To start this series of Owl inspired Birthday posts I've decided to start at the very end, the final course, the all important Birthday Cake.

Given we were away from home, we opted to purchase an iced Angel cake and found a wonderful bakery in Gisbourne called Ferguson Plaire. And, given the popularity of Giggle and Hoot I was able to find some fondant owls at my favourite cake supply shop West's Cake Decorations, the remainder of the decorations included Gold candles and a combination of small Owl candles and Butterflies, 70 candles in all.
