Oh, my God!
Is there a dinosaur-loving, fossil-
Looking for archaeologists on your upcoming birthday?
We have the ultimate party for you!
One of our favorite events at Betty Crocker is to go all out for a birthday party (
The official taste test speed is very close to seconds)
We always start with cake-
The heart of any birthday party.
Making our colorful Tyrannosaurus rex cake with Betty Crocker cake combo is easier than it looks, ready-made
Make sugar cream and chocolate candy. Our how-
When our cake template is cut quickly, to video takes you through each step.
Once we 've locked the theme and palette, it's time to talk about the decor.
Collect some items from your local crafts and dollar store and you can set up everything you need for a scene for any child's birthday party.
For our Dino party, we put cheap linen on the table and created a runner with the well-preserved moss Matt we found at the crafts store.
While we were there, we also stocked the fern, the big philodendron leaf for the charger and a magnolia wreath, hanging on the table, we used a happy birthday sign
Finally, we ordered bamboo plates and silverware from sustyparty. com. The best part?
They are 100% compostable, which means there is no dishwashing! Cake: check.
Decoration: check.
The rest of the menu starts now.
From Dinosaur sandwiches to prehistoric punch, our guide provides quick and easy party food that kids will actually eat (
Ham and cheese sandwich, look at you! ).
Most importantly, most of the day before can be concentrated together to give you more time to enjoy the party.
Last but not least, political parties favor it.
One of our favorite tips is to buy ideas in the dollar store.
You never know what you will find.
We stumbled across the aisles with green takeout boxes and colorful dinosaurs, knowing we had to use them.
Another trick is to create a custom snack to match your party.
We put together pretzels, corn snacks, Rice-cut cereal, cashew nuts and green chocolate candy.
The last step is to fill the box and assemble it with dinosaurs, ribbons and thanksyou tags.
The key to the prehistoric scale Party (
Or any birthday party)
All in the plan.
Betty also has a list of parties to help.
All that's left to do now is party like BC 0. 15 billion!
