Part of being a personal chef is throwing parties. I know, I know. It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it. I throw dinner parties, holiday parties, “just for fun” parties, engagement parties and my absolute favorite – the Birthday party. If you know me “in real life” I am a birthday party fanatic. Birthdays are the most important days of the year and I celebrate mine for the ENTIRE month of June!!
Just a few weeks ago my favorite 10 year old in the whole entire world turned 10! I’m lucky to have such fabulous clients to be a personal chef for, plus they have the best kids ever! It was a really big deal because she is amazing and I love her! And we threw her a kick ass party!!!! I’m counting down the 10 must have things for a killer birthday party!!
#1 – Always have a fabulous cake!
#2 – Birthday Bubbles are key!
#3 – Make sure everyone knows where the party is!!
#4 – Make it unique – personalized napkins are always a hit!
#5 – There has to be something fun – like a sparkly tattoo artist!!
#6 – Have a beautifully set table with lots of snacks
#7 – Prep as much as you can before! I did a make it yourself pizza party – so everything was ready by the time the kids arrived!
#8 – Keep it interactive and let the kids go wild! Don’t worry about the mess – there’s time to deal with it later!
#9 – Two words: Cotton Candy!!
#10 – last but certainly not least – make sure the Birthday Girl is always happy!!!
And there you have it!! The best 10th Birthday Party to date!

Now that is a DREAMY b’day party!! Wish I could hire you to throw this kinda gig for me. Looks like the girls had a wonderful day! xo Love all the sparkles
Gaby – awesome job – the make your own pizza party idea is awesome – the kids look like they had a great time! Love the sparkles and the cake!
FUN – especially the sparkly tatoo artist – do you have the contact details PLEASE!
Awww, happy birthday to Allegra! What a lucky little girl. The party looks like it was great fun, and I love the idea of mini pizzas! You did a wonderful job, Gaby.
Looks like a great time!
Such a fabulous party! I don’t think I had ANYTHING like this when I was 10. Allegra is a lucky girl to have you in her life.
cotton candy is king! what a super fun party.
Gorgeous… what a wonderfully perfect day!
One of the downside’s to not having girls – no sparkly tattoo artist!!!! This sounds like the perfect recipe for a “kick ass” birthday party and one Miss A. will remember forever!!!
Happy Birthing Day Gaby! She is beautiful and looks like Mom!
I did a make your own pizza party for my grandkids a while back and they still talk about it/want to do it again.
What a lovely party for a lovely little lady!
What a great idea; making the pizza. I bet she had a fantastic time. Lucky you, but really lucky them, too!
Gaby, so adorable! And that cake, WOW! Impressive.
Fun post, Gaby!
Love it! I have an 11 yr old daughter and that party is right up her alley! Great job!!
Oh I want to be a kid again and I want you to throw me a party!
