We found this Mario at my Mom's house it came out of a Happy Meal a few years ago and then the background is a balloon stand from the Dollar Store. I made little boxes wrapped in shiny wrapping paper and question marks like the boxes you hit in Mario Kart.
For our dinner I found these dot candy sheets at Walmart in there party section.
Our sign made out of shiny wrapping paper and a Mario coloring page picture.
We made the mushrooms from Super Mario Brothers. Cupcakes with red frosting and white chocolate dipping dots. The eyes are just card stock with eyes drawn on.
Okay so this cake was kind of crazy. I had so much going on the week of E's party that I seriously forgot to make the cake. Earlier in the month he had drawn out what he wanted his cake to look like. It was supposed to be a round two layer with a giant mushroom on top, piranha flowers and stars from the game. Well the day of his party, I realized I didn't have a cake made and so I called Dick's Market asked them for any chocolate cake they had with white frosting that they could spray blue. Mr. D went to pick it up when he called me this is what he said, "Are you sure this is the cake you want?" To which I told him " I will figure something out when you get home, not realizing it had big drops of whipped frosting and chocolate Oreos and chocolate dripping down the side. He laughed and said that the girls in the bakery were referring to me as the Emergency Cake lady. Well this is what I came up with. I frosted half of Styrofoam circle and put the white chocolate on top and card stock cutout for the mushroom. Then fondant that I purchased at Walmart...I didn't have time to make it for the star cut outs and Piranha flowers. I actually think it turned out OKAY.
We had a great time and I even won a few games of Mario Kart.
Curious George... Party
The spread... Monkey Cupcakes and Banana Splits.
Fun monkey cupcakes...marble cupcakes frosted with choco frosting. The ears are mini nilla wafers cut in half. A big nilla wafer, M&M's for the eyes and gel frosting for the nose and mouth. So easy... Thanks to Breanne and Brynn who helped finish decorating these for me. I love the Curious George fabric I found at Walmart.
Curious George Balloons I found on Amazon and buckets with Curious George stickers on them.
Fun pinwheels from Hobby Lobby $0.49 each and L's new Curious George Stuffed toy that I found on Amazon... his birthday gift. This was a fun and easy party that I only spent $20 for the decorations, and food.
