Saturday my younger daughter had a party celebrating her 11th birthday. She's the craftier of my two daughters by far, and that shows in her birthday parties. Last year she had a "beading party" where everyone made beaded necklaces at the party. This year, instead of making a birthday cake, we made a bunch of cupcakes and mini-cupcakes, bought a whole bunch of decorative candies and cookies, and the girls made snowmen cupcakes as a party activity. We put them all together on a tray and THAT was her birthday cake.
It actually went better than expected. I fully assumed that the whole activity would be an absolute disaster, but it actually turned out a) that the snowmen looked good and b) the activity wasn't all that messy. It was fun.
Oh, and we can't take credit for the idea. Natalie got the idea from a cupcake cookbook that she got for Christmas. If you think the snowmen above are cute, you'll be amazed at some of the other decorating ideas in this book!
