It's great to get some inspiration for a teenage birthday party for a boy, we recieved this super cool fun party from Clair from Calamity Cakes and as told by Clair.

"DJ themed  13th Birthday Party and for Clair's son and  two of his good friends"

Finding inspiration on the web a a teenage boys birthday party was almost impossible. The brief from the boys was: must be fun, funky and have cool music and venue. We hired a groovy local cafe and three 15 year old dj's to get the party started.With a little artistic direction, my son and his friends spent a sunny spring afternoon painting the backdrop for the dessert table, with the obligatory paint fight thrown in. I wanted to include a small dessert table, and make it bright and fun, whilst being careful not to be girly or kiddy. Thirteen is an important step away from childhood, so I wanted to include things that were reminiscent of childhood whilst still being teen-friendly and quick and easy for the the 60+ kids to get their sweet fix, with a funky edge. Red, yellow and orange jelly cups and swirly lollipops, with a towering topsy turvy cake were the perfect answer. The cake was an absolute labour of love (and stress) for me… countless hours of design, baking and creating - an I loved every minute. The cake included elements that the boys enjoy such as music and longboarding, or they thought were cool, like a graffiti wall. (This complimented the party invites). The table needed to look great in the early/lighter part of the evening, and into the night, when the lights dimmed and the disco took off"
