Sharing a party tip

today we had my son's 7th Birthday Party.. little story: We were meant to have a jumping castle and a BBQ at the beach but unfortunately due to rain we had to run around yesterday and cancel and Jumping Castle and find somewhere that would hold 29 children plus parents

Thank goodness we did.. and today it was a hit

anyways my tip

Instead of having just one big cake we decided to go for cup cakes and let the kids ice and decorate them all by themselves

It was a complete hit. (and hardly any mess) We just bought Frosting and split it into 8 bowls and iced them all into 4 colours.. then we had sprinkles and choc chips and spoons and plastic knives..

The kids had such a ball icing their own cakes..

I will admit the only reason we went this way as I was struggling to find a way to entertain that many kids for 3 hours when we hadn't really planned any party games as we were relying on the jumping castle

BUMP: I posted so late at night I realised this great idea probably got overlooked
