Event Recap
Ice Cream Candyland
This very special area of the build was a nod to Henri's Starlite Scoops at GKTWV - a space-themed ice cream parlor where families can enjoy ice cream morning, noon, or night.
This final section in the tour of Balloon Wonderland provided lasting memories for guests to take with them! They entered through rainbow tunnels sitting on whipped cream clouds, and emerged to the vision of the Rainbow Fountain. This 10-foot tall conical metal and PVC structure covered in six stripes of rainbow hues flowed upward to a balloon ceiling covered in sections of 3-foot and larger balloons in the same colors.
It was wonderful working with everyone. Also, twisting for the kids, so many of them told me that Starlite Scoops was their favorite place in the village. Our area brought so much joy to everyone and I will always remember that.

The Starlite Scoops sign was recreated with balloons. Throughout the area, whimsical ice cream and candy sculptures provided delight to all.
Featured Technique
Three dimensional balloon walls formed the Candy Cotton Woods that enclosed the area. The 5-foot thick walls were layered in three sections, with cotton candy trees popping out between levels to add depth. The use of three-dimensional balloon walls, assembled in smaller pieces and then layered together, allowed the team to work more efficiently in the same space as 300 other artists working on the huge build.
