Here's a peek at the finished cakes & take home bags!
Activities
The girls get to make their own mini pizzas. I use the biscuit dough but you can use Rhodes rolls - whatever! I keep the toppings pretty simple because kids are picky. All these girls wanted was pepperoni, canadian bacon, and cheese.
While their pizzas were cooking, we pulled out their cakes and let them decorate them. Check out the video for a peek at the finished product.
By then the pizzas are done and it's time to EAT!!!
After eating, we opened presents (played musical gifts to decide which one to open first). Then we had the cake and ice cream.
Now it's time for some games - I was going to do a smelling & tasting game - but OOPS!! forgot to get it ready so we divided up and played PICTIONARY with everything relating to food. It was fun and I think everyone had a good time. Hailey LOVED it and that's all that really matters, right?

****************Instructions**************
I made my aprons out of dishtowels and I found mine at the $1 store. Click HERE for the tutorial.
The chef hats are made from posterboard from the $1 store and tissue paper from the $1 store. Instructions can be found HERE.
Most places will give you cake containers..I usually get mine from the Walmart bakery. This year they were under some type of internal investigation so I got them from Macey's. They charged me $1 per container. I buy the aluminum cake pans and bake away!! I like to freeze the cakes - it's easier to frost that way.
The cupcakes really are self explanatory. I purchased a bunch of bright colored cloths from Walmart and then folded them into fourths and layered 2 colors on top of each other. I rolled them and wrapped a rubber band around them. I looked EVERYWHERE and couldn't find the bath oil beads for the "cherry" on the top so I ended up using suckers and I think that worked just fine. I also added some red fave Starburst to the bag for some added color. Oops - almost forgot!! I also cut my cupcake wrappers out of colored cardstock using my Silhouette. But I'm sure it would be easy to make your own or you could use the regular cupcake papers - but I felt like they didn't support the cupcake enough.
Hailey's Recipe Book - I just had Hailey list off her favorite meals, snacks, cookies, etc and typed them up into a book, punched a hole in the top, and secured it with a metal ring.
Looking back- it can become a lot of work - but really...what wouldn't we do for our kids? :)
