Show and Tell - cupcake party

Your are invited to a party!

Time for Kelli's Show and Tell, click on her name to see many more fun things.

I have been waiting to show my grandson's birthday party, and now decided to share it on Show and Tell since it was a bit unique. My daughter, Ashleigh loves cupcakes and did her son, Caden's birthday party with the cupcake theme. I wondered if she would be able to find cupcakes that weren't done in pink, but look at all she found!

Ashleigh made this large cupcake shaped cake from scratch! She bought a big cupcake cake pan. The bottom was on one side, and the top part on the other side of the pan. It is two pieces put together. She put a round cardboard between them to make it easier to slice.
You can see how big the cake is by comparing it with the regular sized cupcakes. Also look at the cupcake confetti on the table. The color scheme was blue and green.
Cake, ice cream, tiny crackers, and cupcake-shaped cheese slices were served with juice.

Above is the cupcake shaped cheese cut with the little cupcake cookie cutter.

The party favor bags

The goodie bags contained cupcake stickers, blow-out whistle, cupcake zipper pull, cupcake cookie cutter, cupcake magnet, cupcake lollipop, and special green and blue M&Ms.

Close-up of the cupcake cookie cutter, cupcake zipper pull, cupcake magnet, and cupcake lollipop.
The M&Ms have "Caden is two" on one side, and his picture on the other side! Can you see his little face? Below is a close-up.
The party was held at Kindermusik (at the Fine Arts Academy) You can check www.kindermusik.com to see if there is one in your area, they are all over.
The little kids played musical instruments, and sang songs with animation. They even sang some songs in Spanish and German! They had so much fun! Notice he has a little cupcake pin on his collar.
The game above is a "parachute" game to keep a ball bouncing on the parachute. They loved this!

The cake and refreshments were served on these little trays.

Ashleigh's shirt even had cupcakes on it!

Below is a cupcake game she found online.

He matches up the stars, moon, etc to each cup in the "pan." Cute and educational.

Below is Caden's giant inflatable cupcake! We use it yearly to measure his height.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all these birthday party ideas, maybe you can use them for your child or grandchild. Our granddaughter, Elisabeth, had her 2nd birthday two weeks after Caden. She had an Elmo theme. I will show her party photos in a day or so. I also have cute pictures of her in the tu-tu I gave her, and pictures of the tea party we had with her.
