Last weekend was my oldest daughter's 9th birthday. In an effort to keep 10 nine-year-olds interested and engaged, we hosted a mad science party for her. Flubber and fireworks making were both on the agenda!
The mad science theme made it lots of fun designing the dessert and gift bag table. I started by choosing a color palette for the table. As good luck would have it, I came by some great scrap-booking paper decorated with what looked like (in the eyes of a non-chemist) atoms and molecules. The colours were bright, clear and - most importantly - easy to match. Not surprisingly, our famous cake pops made an appearance on the table. At the demand of the birthday girl, we made vanilla and cookies and cream pops dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with colourful confetti that matched the paper. We added a little mad science of our own to the cupcakes by sprinkling them with pop rock candies to give it an extra surprise POP! We also had white chocolate covered Oreos, jelly beans (displayed in test tubes), coloured popcorn and other candies. The best part though, was Sarah's reaction when she saw the table...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPAYA!
