Minnie Mouse Birthday Party

Mickey and Minnie

 I just love to throw a great party! I love fellowship, and most of all I love celebrating my daughter!!! Her 3 little years are worth celebrating. And celebrating in a big way. After all, she only turns 3 once.

Let's talk about cake. I love cake. I love cupcakes. I love all things sweet. My sweet pea also loves cake! SO we had both.

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes

The cupcake picks and wraps came from a shop on Estsy.com. I am not sure of the shop, but they were super cute. I loved the sprinkles.I picked them up at our local super store. I have had many people ask how I make my icing. So, here is my secret.

1 box powdered sugar

1 large scoop Crisco

2-4 tablespoons of milk

vanilla extract

Super, super easy and so very yummy!

We loved this cake!!

Every party must have a party favor. I found these on Birthday Express. I wanted to give a favor that kiddo's could use, not one that would go in the trash after the party. They came in very handy at the party.

Who loves candy? We do! We do! We love candy in this house. However, I do not always keep it around. So a party is the perfect time to pull it out. I did keep in mind the ages of our little guests. I tried to choose candy that little teeth could handle. Needless to say the Candy Table was a hit!

Pop Corn....did someone say pop corn? How about pink pop corn? Now we are talking. I looked up how to color pop corn and found a few different ways. I will say, I am not a pro at this and I burned a really good cookware piece. So, I will skip on sharing the how- to. It is most defiantly something you will have to research.

Coke anyone? Need I say more? The grown children loved this party favor.

I splurged and rented a jumpie. The best money I ever spent!!! Hands down!!! The kiddo's did not leave this thing the whole party.  Inside this big thing, was a small slide just for toddlers. Fun Source is the best place to rent, and we were able to get little table and chairs for the children.  

How should every great party end?? With a pinata!! Everybody loves it! Also watching children who are not coordinated enough swing a bat, is priceless!! I purchased this pinata at Birthday Express.  It was really easy to stuff. If you choose not to swing a bat, it does have pull strings.

This sums up the party. She had a fantastic time! However, the sugar high has not worn off yet!
