Maclayne's 4th Birthday Party

We had Maclayne's 4th birthday party over the weekend and she had such a great time! We got her and Mackenzie a joint gift, which was a trampoline. I think she jumped on it almost the whole time! We just had family this year so it was very laid back and a lot of fun!

She loves dinosaurs and it just so happens that Peppa's little brother, George, always has his toy dinosaur. So I decided to make peppa cookies and dinosaur cookies.

We also had "Muddy Puddles" which were No Bake Cookies. These are one of our favorite cookies and I think they worked perfectly with the theme! We also served "Muddy Water" or chocolate milk. Maclayne really got a kick out of all the names and called them muddy puddles and muddy water! My husband printed out the poster, but you can find them for pretty cheap on Ebay. 

She insisted on me making a chocolate cake and was a little bummed when she saw me with blue frosting. She wanted the whole cake to be chocolate! Brown is just too boring for me! I did a very simple shell technique for the cake and it did not take long at all! All you do is make rows of shells all along the sides. You don't have to be perfect! I made a chocolate muddy puddle by melting chocolate candy melts and forming it into a circle. I then placed her Pig family on top. You could make the characters out of fondant, but I really didn't feel like it was worth the time and no one would eat them anyway!

For party favors I just did candy and dinosaur bubbles. I used pink bags and printed stickers on the silhouette with a picture of Peppa. I really kept it simple this year, but I loved the way it turned out!
