A friend of mine hosted a rock climbing party for her daughter last weekend so I got to help with the details... including baking 3 dozen of these fun brightly colored rock candy cupcakes. I used basic yellow cake and chocolate cake recipes, both with cream cheese frosting, and decorated with cake cups & sprinkles from the layer cake shop as well as large chunks of rock candy. The lighting wasn't the best for photography in my kitchen, but the first 2 shots are after baking. The rest of the photos are from the party itself, including rock embellished invites, rock candy favors and a few of guests making their climb up the rock wall...

A rock climbing party sounds like so much fun...I absolutely love the rock candy on the cupcakes! That could be used for so many other themes-the first one that comes to mind is the all the art parties that I've seen lately.
Love the cupcakes! What a fun party theme.
Thank you for all the brilliant ideas Becca! The cupcakes were divine and best of all Cali had a great time at her party. I guess that was the topic during recess with her friends at school.
Cute! Such a good idea to combine rock candy with rock climbing.
What a great party!! And those cupcakes looks so tasty! I love all of the colors! xo
What an adorable blog- you are creative with great ideas! I am doing a superhero party for my son this weekend and will be linking to your blog when I post about it! Thanks! :)
What are the 'rocks' on the invite???
Can you tell me what the rocks on the invite are? My daughter wants a rock climbing party and the invites are perfect!
The rocks are just plain stone beads from a craft shop, painted in bright colors and hot glued.
