BEEP, BOOP, Robot PARTY!

Last week, my little guy turned 4 years old. We hosted a ROBOT PARTY for him. It was really fun to put together.
These are the invitations I came up with for the party.


I had all the fun stuff out on my kitchen table.

We made a goodie bag for each child with a tag that said, "Thank You For Coming." Inside the goodie bag was a wind up robot, a glow stick, silly bands and a baggie of M&M's, pretzels and Cheerios. I attached a tag to that bag with robots that said, "Nuts and Bolts."
I loved the idea of ROBOT FUEL for a beverage. :)
The cake turned out great! I couldn't find much inspiration for a robot cake online, so I came up with this little design. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. However, more importantly, the birthday boy loved it!
I made this shirt for the b-day boy to wear for the party. I used the Robotz Cricut cartridge for the template and dabbed acrylic paint around it.

At the party, we made robots out of pretzels and marshmallows. The kids had a blast.


Another activity was Pin the Robot on the Spaceship. I had all the kids color their own robot to pin on an enlarged image of a spaceship on my door.
We also made robot costumes out of paper bags. The kids really got into this. Check out these cute little robots. :)


Happy birthday dude! We LOVE you!

Happy Birthday David!

My hubs recently reached an important and memorable age. He turned 30! I wanted to surprise him by making a cake for him. Here's what I came up with.

All you need is

• a round cake pan
• 1 cake mix
• black fondant
• yellow fondant
• orange fondant
• circle cookie cutters - different sizes
• number cookie cutters if desired
• letter cookie cutters if desired
  

I baked and iced the cake with buttercream icing. I saved some buttercream and dyed it black to outline the center circle. I set the black icing aside for later use.
Next, I rolled out the black fondant and placed it on the cake.
I then rolled out the colors and cut out David's name. I placed the letters on the cake and then followed with the circles and numbers.
Last, I outlined the center circle with black buttercream to make it POP! So fun, and easy!
