Party Recap

Cake was created by Little Lisa's SugarShoppe https://www.facebook.com/ilovecupcakesnsprinklez

In addition to cake we had a chocolate fountain to represent "Swampy" and the Molasses Swamp.

We spray painted cheap vinyl stick on floor tiles to recreate the the game board throughout the house.

A batch of Malibu Bay Breeze served as a sweet treat for the grown ups.

The kids decorated a giant cardboard ginger bread house (Gramma Nut's House).

Our team created the "Candy Castle" that sat behind the "Ice Cream Sea" A few inflatable ice cream cones accompanied by hand made ice cream cones adorned our dressed up cooler filled with Ice Cream treats from"Queen Frostine".

Guests walked through the "Lollipop Woods" which were cake plates covered in a circle cut from candy patterned scrap book paper. We affixed the circles to a wooden dowel and wrapped them with cellophane from the dollar store, VIOLA! Lollipops for less than $1 each.

We wrapped balls from the dollar store with cellophane and hung them from the ceiling with fishing wire. This created the look of floating hard candies.

Our team crafted "Plumpy" and his "Gingerbread Plum Tree" out of foam core which she painted to create this spot on replica! The same technique to create signs for each of the locations from the Candy Land Board. We wrapped cardboard cores with candy cane striped wrapping paper and hot glued the signs on.

Buckets covered in clear glitter acted as "Gum Drop Mountains".
No one was outside for long since it was about 28 degrees but the game started before guests reached the door.

We had giant game pieces placed throughout the house. We ordered these from Shin Digz.

The little guests took home a new Candy Land Board Game although we based this party on the 1980's version of the game.
