Cooking party theme...and 5 more full days!

Baby Elias's Birth day will be in 6 mornings from now! I am getting so nervous and excited! It's hard to not be distracted with everything that needs to be done before he gets here. I am also working up to the day before the c-section, so I still have 3 days of work to go! Thanks to everyone for your well wishes! We'll be sure to keep you posted!

 I hope my little guy will love to bake, for I am not going to give him a choice lol.  I have tons of daydreams about having him in the kitchen with me making sweets! Wonder if he'll want a cooking theme for a party one day?! Here is some older, but still fresh!, Frosting for a cooking theme here (link).

For a cooking party, everyone has to have a chef's hat! These can be made at home and fit in the party budget! Source and tutorial

Everyone also needs an apron! This can be a fun extra activity too...set up a decorating station for the kids to personalize their aprons before the baking fun begins! Source

How fun would these silverware "chandeliers" be in your party space?! Made with wooden silver (buy here: link) and needlepoint rings! Source

 How fun would these paper ovens be to send home one of the cupcakes the kids made?! Super cute! p.s. these would be great as a "bun in the oven" idea for a baby shower! Source and file
















 

Kid's pizza party inspiration/ideas

Looking for theme for boys and girls? Or to use for a slumber party? A pizza party would be fantastic!

Super cute tabletop with a "pizza" cake!!! And cupcakes with different "pizza ingredients" Source

How fun is this one?! I HEART the pizza boards that spell out "pizza"! Definitely reminds us to decorate the front of table too! p.s. - did you notice the numbers drawn in flour?! love it! Source

Use Italian colors around the space to tie in the theme... like this fanned banner! Source

Put little Italian inspired tags on all the ingredients! Source

Look closely! Pizza cookies! I think the kids would flip over these! Source

Cooking/Chef Party Theme

I secretly want to have a cooking themed party! I am trying to pawn it off on friend's that have kids! I know we have a blast cooking together as a family, so I think a bunch of kids making a cooking mess would be a blast! ...just pay someone else to clean up afterwards lol

Use mini rolling pins to wrap your invite around, tie with a bow - what a great way to start the theme! Source found via attentiontodetail

If you can pull it off, aprons and hats for all the chefs would be adorable! Source

Making cupcakes would be a great task - have templates for them to make designs on top of the cupcakes too! Try to think of different toppings, icings and tools to have out for them to choose from! Source

Make up favor bags that include utensils, sprinkles, pot holders, etc.  Tie them off with ribbon and a kitchen themed tag or recipe card! Source

Perfect cake for this theme is an apron! Make a sheet cake and cut a little at the top to make the top of the apron and use red licorice for the strings! Source and tutorial
