Skylander Birthday Party Part 2




Here is the overview of our Skylander Party. I do not take credit for any of the ideas here I copied them all from of web pages I found. Great inspiration out there. Thanks for looking.

 Target Practice.Each hole had a picture of one enemy next to it. The kids had the choice of a FlameSlinger Bow and Arrow or a ShromBoom Slingshot to take aim with.



 I created these simple Chompies with Green Balloons and Construction Paper. The kids used a Air   Missile Gun (Jet VAC?)

 Whats a Skylander Party with out Skylanders.The kids took turns battling it out in Battle Mode on the WII.


 Wrecking Ball is one of Colin's favourite so this game was my first pick when I was researching online. Pick up Trigger Happy Coins with a Wrecking Ball sticky tongue. Lots of fun.

Chocolate Coins (Bulk Barn)

Shark Gummies (Bulk Barn)
 Colin wanted a candy Table after seeing and awesome one oneline. This is our version.

Fizz Candies (Bulk Barn)

Red Gumball (Bulk Barn)


Rockets covered in Red Paper.


Rock Candy ordered online

Coconut covered Marshmellows (Walmart)

Pizza and Veggies to reboot our energy on the porch.

Sklander Birthday Party Part 1

The inspiration for this cake came directly from Coolest Cakes. com. In fact I tried to almost replicate a cake I saw there. The little green Chompies are made from Candy melts and jelly beans. This was my first try with melting candy and I found it duper easy so I will defiantly doing this again. The sheep are Clodhoppers (bulk barn) with fondant heads and feet. The Bridge which is partially collapsed in one of these pics I will fix it day of party was chocolate wafer cookies, and licorice.  I iced in buttercream and edged the water with Chocolate rocks and the land with wafers. The characters are store bought. My son has not seen it yet I hope he likes it.

 Colin saw a candy table on one of our inspiration sights and has spent every night for month at bedtime telling new candies we could use. We wended u with Boomers Dynamite (rockets), Whirlwinds Rainbows (rainbow sour strips), Prism Breaks Rock Candy, Sonics Clouds (Marshmallows), Thumpbacks sharks (gummies for Bulk Barn) Trigger Happy Gold Coins, Eruptors Fire Balls (jaw breakers from bulk barn), Pop Fizz's fizz candies.


 Decorations are hard to come by for this theme so I hung a couple banners with Skylander Stickers on them. I also hung Green Table clothes with leaf garland for a picture backdrop well doing presents.
I bought a couple posters to add a little themed items, and placed our Skylander collection on the coffee table for the battle mode competition we will be having.












I will post more about our party games tomorrow.

Another Spring Cake!

 Another cake to add to the collection of cakes I am creating this spring. This one is for a wedding rehearsal dinner for my sisters Mother-in-law Debbie. She is tying the knot this Saturday with her entire family in attendance including her grandchildren who will act as her Ring Bearer and Flower Girl. I hope she enjoys this pre-wedding night treat.
Thanks for looking.

 2 layer Vanilla cake with lemon filling. Iced in Buttercream will an Om bra effect. The invitation was printed on edible paper at Sobey's. The roses were made out of fondant.
