CELEBRATE - 4th of July Birthday Party

I am trying to help plan a 4th of July party for my niece, who will be turning three. It is quite a feat, as I am in one state, she is in another and the party will be held at my sister's place which is in a third state. Needless to say many emails have been exchange.

So far we have decided that the theme will be pinwheels in red, white and blue plus aqua to add a fun twist.  So here is the inspiration...

I love this party, all the little details are so well thought out, especially the cake. I love the way the little chocolat epinwheels give it a sense of motion. However, tradition for this niece is to have cupcakes, so we'll see maybe I'll just put the chocolate pinwheels on the cupcakes. Or I could do something more like this...

I would change the colors to match our decor, but I love the way this looks.
