This was lost in my “pictures for the website file” that seems to be a pit of things I haven’t gotten to! A few years ago we did this for our oldest daughter and I think it’s time to do another one. She loves art and so an artsy fartsy birthday was perfect. She also loves bright colors so I used primary colors to decorate.
Her cake was so simple and cute!
I made 6 layers and colored each a color of the rainbow. I used a white frosting in between each…
Frosted the outside and then went to town with primary colored sprinkles.
On top I added a rainbow made from marshmallow fondant. (Use a skewer on each side to give structure and place into cake) I set this out to dry a couple days ahead of time to firm it up as well.
Then I added some “clouds” with more white frosting on top
It looked pretty cool when we cut into it.
I made pizza and also some colorful whoopie pies. Just use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. Just use white chocolate chips and add some sprinkles, sandwich with frosting and roll sides in sprinkles.
“Paintbrushes” were pretzel rods dipped in brown candy melts, then the tops in a colored melt.
Rice Krispy treats made great paintbrushes too!
I used my “Monster Munch” recipe but used m and m’s instead of reese’s and all white chocolate.
Some white tulle bunches and primary colored streamers made a fun rainbow and cloud backdrop. White balloons would work well too.
The activity was fun and pretty messy! I put an example up of what each station was for.
Spin art is popular in our house. I just use a cheap salad spinner from IKEA, paper plates trimed to fit it (or construction paper, but you’ll want something thicker), and watered down paint in small bottles.
Marble painting got messy fast but they had so much fun. Just use washable paints, a container for each color, marbles, and a tray that your paper fits in.
I made the invite myself on Microsoft Word as usual.
If you have a little one who loves art an art party is a fun inexpensive idea! Just make sure to have fun doing things together for the party and be prepared to clean up a mess! 😉
