Ok, I thought I was getting away easy when my now 5-year old changed his mind on the theme of his birthday party. At first he wanted a – get this – Team Umizoomi Star Wars party! I was confused at the idea BUT I imaged this awesome cake. Picture it, it’s the UmiCar but black and between the wheels are wings to make it fly. Geo quickly dresses up as Luke, Milli as Leia and of course, Bot would be R2-D2. I could work with this although hard to do. At least there was Umi stuff and Star Wars stuff so I could deal. Then he changed his mind to Adventure Time (a show on Cartoon Network). I thought “oh great! it’s a show and an easy them”. {Insert wrong buzzer noise here} It was NOT easy! There is very little Adventure Time merchandise and zippo party stuff. But I am me. I made it work.
Chocolate Fountain in Chocolate Bar Guy’s Chocolate Bar (including LSP’s RKTs, Marshmallow Kids, and Chocoberries), Pup Cookies (Rainbow sugar cookies in the shapes of circles, stars & 5s – see a cross section below), Peppermint Butlers, Ade of Lemongrab and wonky straws, Owen dressed as Finn, and Some of the favors (Adventure Time comics & Tattoos)
Jake cakes for guests, only 1 Finn Cake (was chocolate of course) for the birthday Finn, homemade Jake pinata, B-MO wrapped favors (sweethearts inside), Ice King’s Ice Cream Palace (with Randy’s Rainbow Sprinkles, Cherry Blossom Cherries, & Baby Snaps’ Minions aka Chocolate Chips), and the whole spread of food (drinks were separate).
Hat came from the DVD set of Adventure Time (so official hat), shirt is a $2.00 shirt from Michael’s (we had this one before the party though), shorts are cheapie ones from Target (had these from a few seasons ago as well), and I bought cheap fabric and a zipper from Wal-Mart & cut & pinned the pieces, handed them off to my mom and she worked her magic to make a functional, awesome Finn Backpack!
