Race Car Teddy Biscuits

'Race Car' has been our top selling boys theme this year, so we thought we would make some 'Race Car Teddies' to share as our party food recipe this week.  Another super simple party food that is loads of fun for the kids to help make, super yummy and just so cute!

What you need:

Mini Milky Ways or similar chocolate bar
Smarties
Tiny Teddies
Chocolate to melt

1. Melt the chocolate. 
2. Dip sides of milky way into chocolate. 
3. Stick on smarties to make wheels. 
4. Stick teddy biscuit into top of milky way. 
5. Place smartie into chocolate in front of teddy to make steering wheel.

Done!

The only problem we found with these is that more smarties made their way into the kids mouth than on the cars and hubby spent more time dipping teddy biscuits into the melted chocolate, cos its just so yum!  Ok, and maybe a milky way or four worked their way into mummy's mouth hehe! As you can see only 6 finished cars made it to our plate :)  Lucky they were just for us and not for a party!

There was some great little changes people had made to these original race car teddies to make into other vehicles such as ranger vehicles for jungle parties etc - if you have a spin on these we would love to hear about them! Feel free to leave us a comment with how you have made them :)

Ethan's 4th 'Horsey Cowboy' Birthday Party

It was my big boy Ethan's 4th birthday at the beginning of August and that brought with it his long awaited 'Horsey' birthday party!  Ethan picked his theme for this year's party about 7 months ago and boy has it been a long 7 months with many 'is it my horsey party today?' conversations!

Ethan was very particular that he wanted a horse party and not a cowboy party however mummy was able to eventually sway that slightly as it was tricky finding masculine horse products, everything seemed to be pink but he was pretty sold on getting to dress up as a cowboy so 'Horsey Cowboy' it was!

We set up our back area like a barn and decked out with horse props including saddle and stand, hay, wine barrel, wagon wheel and gorgeous old fashioned boxes.  We set this around our day bed which also acted as our 'photo booth'.

Yummies on our dessert table were toffee apples, wagon wheels, cupcakes, caramel popcorn, milk bottles, malteasers, cookies and cake pops.

Sweet mini glass milk bottles and cowboy boot cups filled with chocolate milk sat on 'the wine barrel bar' and cute personalised horse tableware set the kids table.

Our bucket party bags were filled with horsey treats and sweets as a take home thank you.

It was a fabulous day and Ethan had a blast!

'Fit for a Princess' ~ Real Party Feature!

Today's party feature comes from one of my gorgeous clients, Anita and I am excited to share her daughter Julia's 'Fit for a Princess' party with you all.

Anita styled a gorgeous pink shabby chic style dessert table laid out with lolly filled glass jars, gingerbread cookies, cupcakes and lollipops.  Soft floral background and gorgeous mirror centerpiece set the table off perfectly.

Beautiful Princess table setting complete with tiara and wand for each little guest.  Love the cutlery tied together with a pretty bow, a simple addition to really make the table special.

The theme was carried across to the 'favour table' where guests received a selection of gorgeous goodies as a thank you.

Well done Anita on such a beautiful party, Julia is one lucky little girl!
