For those that know me, it’s safe to say I love to party. Literally! Entertaining is something I love doing with family and friends But when I had Joel, I found the joy of entertaining to be even more fun with children in mind. My long-time childhood family friend, Jane, can certainly relate because she’s done her fair share of children’s parties.
Jane is the creative and talented baker/cake decorator of Short & Sweets. Based out of San Diego, CA, she has been creating some amazing celebration cakes for the past few years and she never ceases to amaze me. Check out her Facebook page for more photos of her work! Her most recent party extravaganza was a dual birthday party for her son (2) and nephew (8). The theme? Robots – and it was done with such detail! I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
Robot Parts – A variety of pastas that guests could build on…
The pastas were named “Wires” (spaghetti), “Propellers” (bowties),
“Tubes” (stuffed rolled lasagne), and “Gears & Springs” (wheels and rotini).
Lubricants – So many different pasta sauces to choose from!
Upgrades – Meatballs, chicken and vegetarian ‘meat’balls for guests to add…
Accessories – Guests helped themselves to fresh veggies, green salad and dressings…
Fueling Station – Refreshments were cleverly decorated to fit the theme perfectly!…
Do-Bots (powdered mini donuts), Nuts & Bolts (sweet & salty popcorn mix)…
Micro Chip Cookies (chocolate chip, of course!)…
Cake Ball Bearings (Jane’s famous cake balls)…
Smore’s Borg (smore’s sandwich style) …
Cookie-Droids (disguised Oreo cookies)…
Fruit Bytes (colorful bite-sized fresh fruit kabobs) …
Cupcake in Jars Favors (mini cupcakes in baby food jars)…
Robot Heads Goody Boxes…
Jane even set up a craft table for the kids to make their own robots to play with and take home…
the little ones under 3 years old all received hand-sewn robot pillows… too cute!
What a cute and fun idea! I'm sure the kiddos had a blast. She did a terrific job executing this theme!
Wow! I would have never come up with that in a million years. My son would have loved a party like that when he was younger.
I'm SO happy to have found your page – we're having a Robot Party for our Son's 4th Bday this weekend !!! I think we'll try some of your ideas. Thanks !!!
