Cat in a hat birthday party, 6 years old!

Party rock is in the house. Happy Birthday. It's time 2 celebrate! 

My little girl turn 6 and wanted a cat in a hat party. I love the cat in a hat a lot and thought I would throw together something together for her and her friends.

Cat in a hat chalkboard, Suckers and cupcakes

Cat in a hat red fish, hat and thing 1 and 2 hair cupcakes

I made some yellow cake cupcakes from a box. I thought about doing a red fish cupcake. It is a Swedish fish candy on the top of the icing. The cat in a hat is a mini oreo and a salt water mint taffy on top. The tulle topper is already made from the store and resembles thing one and thing two hair.

Cupcakes on a cupcake stand

The cake is the bottom part of a big cupcake cake with pink icing and a Pompom banner I made.

The bottom is strawberry jelly rolls sliced and added on the bottom

Cat in a hat pompom cake. I made the pompoms out of tissue paper and string.

Jelly rolls sliced and placed in cupcake wrappers.

Suckers and sucker stand. I made the stand by wrapping a piece of Styrofoam with tissue paper and taping it at the bottom.

Decorations hanging from the ceiling

We all had a cat face makeover before she blew the candles and as you can see she was delighted!

Happy Birthday!

I made some pizza calzones rolls. Very easy: Pizza dough from the store. Mozzarella cheese slices and pepperoni.

Lay the dough as a rectangle. Layer the cheese and meat. Roll. Cook in oven and slice in portions when cooled a little. I didn't add any sauce because little kids make messes. It was super good and the kids loved it.

Red fish ice cubes: Super easy just freeze Swedish fish in an ice cube tray.

Red fish ice cubes in a fish bowl and fun red and white paper straw.

Ballerina 1st birthday party

Ma petite Soleil is 1 already. We had a Ballerina party for her. I used things already made from the store and added a craft: A party hat.

Cupcakes, cake and mini white roses are from the store

Pink and white cupcakes with sprinkles

Cute little cake and "1" Paper hat

I love mini roses. These white ones are so gorgeous. They are still growing on my window sill and I hope to plant it this Spring.

My 12 year old made this party paper hat with my instructions. She did a fantastic job!

Little cakes from Little Debbie snack cakes

We had the party around Valentines' Day so everything is heart shaped

She loved her cake

But decided on a cupcake

Happy birthday my sweet Ballerina!

Chocolate Easter fudge with cadbury eggs and bunny grahams

Easter is coming fast and this treat is a great idea for parties or for after school snack. I like the individual small portions a lot. It's cute and cuts down on over eating it. The crunchiness of the bunny grahams is nice on the palette. Enjoy! It's addicting I warn you! Like you don't know that already!

Isabelle Thornton's Easter fudge

2 cups mini marshmallows,
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate,
1 can sweetened condensed  milk,
1 cup mini Cadbury eggs,
1 1/2 cup Annie's bunny grahams,
Mini cupcakes wrappers

On medium heat, in your pan melt the chocolate, 1 cup marshmallows, sweetened condensed milk.
Line your dish with parchment paper and pour half of the fudge into it. Layer 1/2 cups bunny grahams and then cover on top with the rest of fudge. Let cool in fridge until cold.
Cut small individual pieces of fudge and place in mini cupcakes wrappers. Place one bunny, 1 marshmallow and 1 Cadbury egg on top.
