    Megan Schumaker Murphy said:  CircEsteem! This was by far the best birthday party we had for my daughter. Kids get to try a variety of circus skills (like the trapeze or giant gym wheel) and the skilled coaches make sure that children see some success with each new skill. It was inclusive for all ages and developmental levels. Scheduling was easy and the staff was great! Highly recommend.

Your very own Sweet T's baker will walk you through decorating cupcakes and cookies using icing and sprinkles, or decorating a cake with fondant! They have plenty of options to choose from and will customize the party to your child's liking. A party at Sweet T's will be a hit for everyone because everyone has a sweet tooth!
