If You've Ever Wanted to Throw a Pinterest-Worthy Party, You Need Darcy Miller's "Celebrate Everything"

Don't limit yourself to party themes that come in a box. Darcy says the biggest trend in kids' parties these days is reality TV shows like Project Runway and Top Chef. Create a contest-based party where the kids have fun baking or decorating something á la Cake Wars and then eat their creations. "I’ve been to cake wars party at the Craft Studio in New York City where the cakes they are decorating are inspired by a theme, and then at the end of the party everyone enjoys the decorated cakes," Darcy shared.

This Pinterest-worthy candy cake is easier to create than you'd think. Darcy has a DIY that explains the steps.
