Dragon/Castle Birthday Party!

Filed Under: Cake Recipes, Parties

castle themed birthday cake on round platter
 Another post on our little guy’s special day. We had his party this weekend and it went great! We did a Dragon/Castle theme. We sent out invites on antique looking paper with wax seals.  Aaron had fun helping with the wax stamp. They looked nice and “official” for the century we were going for 🙂 We invited the children to come in their best knight/princess attire, and they did! Super cute!
I was happy with how the fondant turned out on the cake. I’ve made probably 8 fondant cakes so far and am finally getting more comfortable with it. Practice, practice, practice….
pin the dragon on the castle game
 Aaron made the poster for his “Pin the Dragon on the Castle” game. I love his castle, too cute! We also had a treasure hunt to find the princess who was locked in the deep dark dungeon (the home theater, in the basement).
castle toys set up on table
 I pulled out some castle toys for the younger children, which they loved!
pixie sticks and party favor bags
 Treat bags, and pixie swords & wands.
gingerbread castle on paper plate
 Graham cracker castles. The kids had a great time decorating these and I love how they turned out. Derrick and I glued these together one night. 12 of them. I couldn’t do these parties without my sweet husband’s help!
