And the Lego Party at it’s best!

Here we wrap up our Lego party with pictures of the party and the fun things made just in case you missed one!

We start with the tri-fold Invite. This was a pretty simple and fun one to make.

Next was making the Crayons in Lego Man & Brick shapes.  NOW this was so easy I know what the boys will be giving for Christmas gifts!

From the crayon stage, we made the gift bags (same post as above).

Since I was using the Lego Mold for Crayons why not make chocolate for cupcakes also.  NO silly I made sure they were washed before I did either (Same post as Crayons).

Then came the Lego Brick Candy Bars and Juice Boxes.  This was a VERY simple one made from construction paper I bought at the dollar store.

Then came the Marshmallow Fondant.  THIS was the hardest thing I’ve made and a work out and half.  It is a sticky mess if you don’t stir in enough powder sugar before you put your hands in to kneed it.

I also put a Lego Man T-Shirt Transfer for his party attire.  This is on the post about Marshmallow Fondant.

Also on the Marshmallow fondant post, we made Lego Gummy Candies that was another EASY recipe to make and these little guys were pretty darn tasty!

And on our last post we used the Marshmallow Fondant and put it to good use on a the cakes.  We covered a Ninjago Cole Cake and mini Brick Cupcakes for each kid.

Also on that post I showed a quick banner I threw together for the party.  I was in a little daze by this time I actually stapled my thumb so there was a actually a little blood and probably sweat on this project.

And to show you the end result the actual PARTY!!  Thank you for all your kind comments and encouragement that kept me going on my mission to make this the best party!  I thankfully have a little break before we start to plan for Caden’s 5th Birthday which he has picked a SHARK theme!

Let the Lego Party beginning!  We started out with a swim party!  We ended up with 20 kids!  And thankfully 4 adults also in the pool to help with the little ones.  The kids had a blast, I think Rick and his buddy who helped us out enjoyed it just as much!  Little Caden last an hour this time in the pool.  Last year he slept the whole time! LOL  Cole had so much fun with all his friends.  I’m so happy we had a great turn out and so many wonderful people were there to support Cole to celebrate 8 years!

And then we went to the party room.  I had some great friends that helped me set up and then when we were done they were like a pit crew and turned that room and cleaned it all up.  I have some great friends.  The kids really enjoyed all the treats and I had so many moms come up to me to tell me how much they enjoyed it.  I’m so happy and proud of this party.

Phew it’s done it was a hit and I’m so happy to give this special memory to Cole.  Now I am to breath !

Lego Birthday Party Domination Continues …

I started my night out with Marshmallow fondant!  Ok people this one is NOT an easy one it is sticky and takes a good amount of patience!

You Need:

• Marshmallows (I used 3 Bags Small)
• 1 Bag Powdered Sugar
• Wilton Icing Color

Put marshmallows in the microwave for 30 second increments and then stir until smooth.  Add coloring to get the perfect coloring.  Slowly adding powder sugar.  You kneed it until it is no longer sticky.  I warn you this will be very sticky and at one point you may think you did something wrong.  Then it will come together .  I’ll show you how it covers the cake after I do this .. lol.

Next I wanted to give Cole something to wear.  I found this Lego Man that you can print on to printable t-shirt transfers.  This was one of the easiest projects I’ve done so far.  I even found a Ninjago Cole that I printed also and put on his shorts.

And last on my list was to make Lego Gummy Candy found on Instructables.  They have the cutest video with the kids making them.  I made yellow and red bricks to go with our color theme.  This was pretty easy, it was a little time consuming but over all it was a cool thing to do.

You Need:

• 1/2 Cup Water
• 3 Gelatin Packets (Knox or Generic)
• Vitamin C (if you want – I did for flavor)
• Jello

Put water and gelatin packets, stir until dissolved and let sit for about 10 minutes.  She had hers in a glass dish that then boiled in a pan.  I did the double pan method (since my glass dish was being used).  Turn your water bath on Medium High place your gelatin pan in and stir.  Once becomes liquid again add your vitamin C if you’re doing that.  Than add Jell-o flavor.  Stir it all together and then take a syringe to put into your mold.  I doubled the recipe to be able to do both my molds.  Put in fridge and 10 –20 minutes later you have your gummies!

OK I’m done … oh wait I still have the cakes to do!  Oh man I’m going to be one tired mama.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.  I’ll be happy when Saturday comes!
