Planning a summer birthday for your 7-year-old? A Palm Springs pool party is a fun, stylish way to celebrate with sun, color, and splashy fun. Using a dreamy mix of pink, aqua, and yellow, this theme brings retro-cool vibes to your backyard and keeps kids entertained with water play and cool pool floats. It’s easy to set up, perfect for warm weather, and totally photo-ready, making it a go-to idea for any summer birthday or pastel pool party.
My Petite Sweets created a stunning three-tier Palm Springs pool party cake that tied the whole theme together. Decorated with custom cookie designs—a retro camper, cactus, hearts—and topped with two pink flamingos, this colorful cake was the perfect centerpiece for a summer birthday filled with sunshine and style.
Palm Springs Pastel Dessert Table
This Palm Springs pool party dessert table is full of sunshine, sweets, and stylish details. A bold aqua backdrop sets the tone with playful lettering and palm leaves, while a three-tier birthday cake by My Petite Sweets steals the show. Designed with cookie cutouts of cacti, hearts, a retro camper, and topped with two pink flamingos, it perfectly matches the party’s pastel palette of pink, aqua, and yellow.
Surrounding the cake, you’ll find charming themed treats—macaron cacti, flamingo cake pops, and sugar cookies shaped like palm leaves and pool floats. Pops of gold and tropical greenery pull the whole look together. It’s a dream setup for a summer birthday that feels sweet and special.
This Palm Springs-inspired party tablescape is all about playful elegance. A bold aqua and white palm leaf table runner sets the scene, paired with blush pink accents and clear acrylic chairs that gie the space a modern, airy feel. The table is styled with tropical touches—gold pineapples, palm fronds, mini cacti, and retro-inspired décor—bringing that Palm Springs charm to life.
