PARTY SUMMARY
Venue: My backyard
Location: Chicago
Summary:
My friend and I hosted a joint bday party for our 10-year old girls. They had a whopping 45 friends come to participate! When their friends arrived the bday girls checked in each of their friends, handed them an apron and told them which team number they were assigned to. Once all of their friends at arrived, the bday girls announced the theme of the cake boss competition - "Summer is here." Each team them went to their table and had a pad of paper and pen to brainstorm how they wanted their cake to look. Each team received two 9 inch vanilla cakes to use however they wanted (they could stack them, create two separate cakes, cut them up, etc.). They also received a can of frosting per table, and then could come up to the "toppings" table to get an additional supplies they needed. Toppings included gummy bears, lifesavers, colored icing with tips, m&m;'s, cookie cutters, etc.
Once all the teams completed the cakes, the bday girls judged the cakes based on a variety of criteria (most edible, most creative, funniest, etc.). Then they awarded prizes in each category.
The best part was that we didn't even have to order a bday cake, all their friends got to choose which cake they wanted to taste!
