My daughter had her zebra stripes themed birthday party this past weekend. It was truly a hit! My friend Jess made the cake and not only did the cake look amazing it tasted phenomenal too!

Black and white zebra striped cake with pink ribbon trim

There were 4 layers of white cake (made from scratch!) and it was covered in from scratch buttercream frosting. The zebra stripes and pink ribbon were made from fondant. The cake was inspired by the zebra striped invitation I had created.

Zebra Stripe Cake and Zebra Gymnast display

My sister-in-law had bought my daughter a really cute zebra striped gymnast from Gifts in Steel that she found at her local gym’s pro shop. The zebra gymnast made a great addition to the cake display.

We had the party at the gymnastics center she trains at. The party was tons of fun with plenty of active games, rockwall climbing, trampoline, and dancing. A lot of her friends picked up on the zebra theme and gave her some really cute gifts including a zebra bag with her initial on it from Justice Girls Clothing, zebra bookmarks, zebra earrings and more.
