Girl Birthday Party Ideas - The Cake Decorating Party

Do you have a young daughter or grand daughter, and are you struggling for that perfect Girl Birthday Party Idea? It can be difficult settling on a theme, should it be a Princess theme or Mermaid theme, and then will all the guests have costumes? How can you be sure every person will have a great time? One great explication when it comes to Birthday Party Planning is to have a Cake Decorating party. This is great fun as all the guests can join in, and take home their finished efforts. So here is my plan for the perfect Cake Decorating Party for the Birthday Girl.

As with all parties, when you are planning the invites, do not just send out a basic plain invite. Consider how you can theme the invite, with pictures of cooking, chefs hat and mixing bowls. You can source images from the internet, or even draw your own images or have the birthday girl draw some designs, and scan then them in, and then make the birthday card on the computer.

If you are hosting the party at home, Consider how you might theme the kitchen or room where the Cake decorating will take place. Lots of shops sell birthday parepheniallia, either it is a card shop, The One Dollar shop or supermarket. Look for convenient cake celebration tableware. Or find plain paper table toppers, and decorate with pictures yourself. I would also look at sourcing some plain white aprons for everyone, to hand out when the guests arrive. It is a good idea to personalize the aprons, and this can be done with either a fabric marker, or, if you can find some T-shirt printing paper (you may find in an office supplies shop), how about an image of the guests or the party girl printed on the aprons. Chef hats are also a breathtaking idea, and if you can find them will genuinely add a sense of "dressing up". I would also personalize these and write the name of each guest on each of the chef hats.

You will need to do some preparing cooking beforehand. I would look to bake some small cakes, such as vanilla bundt cakes or fairy cakes. There are abundance of straightforward recipes that you can use. These will be the basic cakes that the guests will then decorate accordingly. Find some edible cake decorations. Your local supermarket is all the time a good source for microscopic silver balls, M&Ms, sprinkles, icing sugar in piping bags, small candies, come plain chocolate (for grating). Once you have laid out the table, place all the cake decorating items in individual bowls with the ready icing sugar piping bags and place them on the table.

When the guests arrive, hand out their respective aprons and chefs hats. At each placing there should be a microscopic plain cake ready for decorating. The guests can then decorate each of the cakes accordingly, by taking items from the bowls and placing on top of their cakes. At the end of the party, the guests can all take home their decorated cake. (Remember all the time to make extra cakes for mistakes and for those cakes that get accidentally eaten!

For food put in order finger foods and straightforward snacks, and think about some party games they can play, with food and cooking themes. Pass the Parcel can be come Pass the Hot Potato, or you can have Egg and Spoon races. At the end of the party, all the guests should have a microscopic decorated cake to take home. In addition, how about preparing some party bags with play-doh, mini rolling pins, measuring spoons cookie cutters.

When it come to the perfect Girl Birthday Party, this is one of my favourite themes, as it makes a turn from the general Princess or fairy Party, and the cake decorating keeps the kids busy and entertained. You can also have a similar party with a Pizza Party, where instead of cakes, you make or buy some mini pizzas with bowls of cheese, tomatoes, pineapple, ham and discrete other pizza toppings. Then after the guests have finished "decorating" their pizzas, you can put them in the oven, while they play party games. When the pizzas are done, voila! you have the party food all prepared, thanks to the guests. One less job to think about.
