A Singapore Airlines Inspired Dessert Table Setup for a Baby Boy’s 1st Birthday

The airplane/pilot theme has always been a hot pick among parents. Every time we receive an airplane or pilot theme request, the first thought that came to our minds was probably because either one of the parents is working as a flight attendant or a pilot.  However, to our surprise, this client of ours chose this theme simply because of her support to Singapore Airlines. 🙂

She insisted that we work on a dark blue, gold and white color scheme for her dessert table instead of the usual American colors. It was obvious that she implied for a Singapore Airlines inspired setup! It was indeed a challenge for us, as we had to change the entire airplane setup to suit the SIA style. This was not just about making small changes, as we had to change the entire style of the setup to achieve the classy feel and repaint our props used for the airplane theme.

We were so glad that we managed to create a whole new set of props and printables, mainly self-designed. And we also worked with our designer to create a whole new backdrop, designed with the focus on a pilot boy instead of the airplane. The main focus of this setup was also on the pilot instead of the airplane. This is what differentiates the current setup from our previous ones. Besides, we also used dark blue and gold confetti balloon bouquets to bring out the luxurious feel of the entire dessert table setup.

This was our 2nd airplane themed setup which we have done for a baby boy’s 1st birthday. Although different customers may request for the same theme, we always make it a point to make little changes and tweak the setup to make it different from the previous one. The differences may be great or small, but our overall goal is to make each setup as unique as possible for every client of ours.

Using the same colour scheme – blue, red and white, this time, we changed the blue to a darker navy blue. As for this backdrop, we used a printed backdrop, while previously, we worked on a handcrafted backdrop. Apart from the first setup, we also added cloud lights and a revolving globe to the dessert table. It lighted up the entire dessert table and made it the highlight of the birthday party. Additionally, we provided mini cards for our client’s guests to pen down their wishes for the birthday boy and to be put into an opened luggage.

Besides the dessert table, our client also engaged us to decorate her event venue with balloons on a separate cost. We were more than happy to contribute our ideas in decorating the hotel function room. We worked with our balloon partner and ordered 4 confetti balloon bouquets to add to each table.  At the same time, the balloons in the dessert table package were also upgraded to 2 jumbo sized balloons with tassel tails.

An Airplane Themed Dessert Table for a Baby Boy’s 1st Birthday Celebration

This dessert table style is very different from our previous wedding candy buffet setup! Usually for birthdays, we focus on a variety of sweet treats which includes cupcakes, cookies, macarons and agar agars. Needless to say, an impressive birthday cake is a must!

This time, we made it a little more interactive by separating the backdrop from the dessert table, allowing our client to capture these joyous moments with their guests and vice versa.

The desserts in this setup were handcrafted by Goobycakes! They work on cream cheese frosted cakes, which are just as pretty as the fondant ones! Over here, we paid a lot of attention in customizing each individual item starting from the pastries down to the tent card, so that it could suit the requested airplane theme.

We also provided props such as planes made out of carton boxes and a ride-on plane for the birthday boy to take photos with his guests!
