Quirky Character Piñatas by Whack

 

These super cute piñatas by Whack Piñatas remind me of summer parties in a lush garden. Aracely Sanchez started her company in 2010 to offer her creations to kids of all ages. Inspired by her Mexican culture and her love for Kawaii design she hand makes quirky piñatas in her home studio in Southern California. She creates unique piñatas for weddings and birthday parties, from owls to cactus, from flamingos to teepees. Her work recently got featured in Martha Stewart magazine.

I love that owl, and flamingos, and teepee and all! Which one is favorite?
