The Food:
His cake is usually amazing!! We have had the same lady make it every year... until this year :( Since she wasn't able to make it this year, I decided to give it a try! Since I had to many other things to make for the party, I decided to order a cake with white icing and piping. I then took candy and cookies I had made and decorated the cake with those. It turned out pretty cute!
I tried to make the food for the party magic themed
also.
For the main entrees we had
Disappearing Dogs (Hot dogs), Abracadabra PB and Alakazam PB&J (Peanut
butter and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches cut in the shape of a bunny
head with a cookie cutter), Hocus Pocus Nachos, and Shazam Chili.
I also made food tags for each item. Here are a few:
I had a small veggie tray
(rabbit food) and Magic Snack Mix. I made this mix by combining pretzels, cheerios,
baby goldfish, peanuts, and m&ms. You could throw in or omit anything you
want.
I also wanted to do chocolate cupcake since the cake was
white. I made Rabbit in the Hat Cupcakes. I will be posting a tutorial on how
to make these soon.
The other desserts I had were Magic wands (braided pretzels
dipped in chocolate), Top hat cookies (fudge stripe cookies with a chocolate
covered marshmallow on top and a twizzler pull and peel around the bottom), and
Magic Rings (mini donuts made with my mini donut maker). Store bought donuts
could also be used but I wanted an excuse to pull out my maker ;).
We also had
magic potion to drink (lemonade).
We had almost 80 people RSVP to say they were coming to the
party, but ended up only having about 1/3 of them show up. Needless to say we
had A LOT of leftovers. My poor family was sick of nachos and hotdogs after
about day 3. I didn’t want the leftovers to go to waste, so I decided to change
things up a bit. I boiled some noodles and put them in a large Pyrex dish. I
mixed the cheese and the chili with the noodles. I cut up some of the
weenies and mixed those in as well. I prepared 2 boxes of cornbread and poured
that over the top then baked it until golden brown. My family really like it
and was happy to not have the same thing they had been eating for days!
How about I end with one more picture of my cuties!!
Thanks for reading!! I will have one more part with my first tutorial on how to make the rabbit in the hat cupcakes!
