Scooby Doo Party

The biggest challenge with this party was making a Scooby Doo party as girly as possible.  I chose orange, green and blue as the color scheme for the party.

The cake was a 2-tier cake with a mystery van on top.  The entire cake was edible.  Bottom tier was a vanilla cake with dulce de leche filling.  Top tier was a chocolate cake with buttercream filling.  The mystery van was made out of rice krispie treats!

The kids definitely had a sugar high by the end of the party!  Everything on both tables was sweet with the exception of the "goody bags."

The little cups had a chocolate custard.  I got the idea of putting sprinkles around the cup from Pinterest.  The little tubes were filled with M&Ms.

I made marshmallows covered in white chocolate.  I used two different types of sprinkles: bone sprinkles and regular rainbow sprinkles.

There were four different kinds of homemade "fudge" balls displayed on the table.  These were made with walnuts:

These were made with milk chocolate:

These were made with coconut:

These were made with semi-sweet chocolate and roasted peanuts:

More cupcakes:

These were homemade "Mounds" (semi-sweet chocolate with coconut filling) on a stick:

Chocolate covered Oreos:

I was able to find dog bowls in orange, green and blue.  I filled them with "ghost" marshmallows (I found them during Halloween), cinnamon Scooby snacks, and honey Scooby snacks.

 The second table had the cupcake stand, scooby snacks, Oreos and goody boxes:

Planning a Scooby Doo Birthday Party

It's that time of the year again when I start going crazy searching for ideas for my daughter's birthday party.  She has chosen a Scooby Doo theme, and I have to do my best to make a Scooby party as girly as possible!

I searched online, and I decided to go with the orange, green and blue color scheme.  I think it will be a colorful, bright party!  It will definitely be very different than my daughter's previous parties.  Her parties have always had a lot of pink (Tinkerbell, Poodle in Paris) and red (Minnie Mouse, Strawberry Shortcake).

I have seen plenty of Scooby Doo products at party stores, but I'm trying to stay away from the commercial stuff.  It was good to find things to fill the children's goodie bags!  So far, I have found thematic erasers, pencil sharpeners, crayons, note pads and silly bandz.

One of my first projects was creating a small centerpiece for the guests' tables.  I used craft foam to make little baskets that I will fill with candy:

I just got these little boxes in the same colors that I will use to line the cake pops, I think:

If I have time, I am going to make layered jello with the party colors and put them in this adorable little cup:
