How to Have a Cupcake Making Party

A cupcake making party is an amazing kids birthday option! It's such an easy party to throw, and so much fun for all ages. Follow our quick guide to find out how to host a cupcake making party for your child:

Invitations

First, you'll need invitations! Remember to include the time, date, and location of the party, as well as anything that the kids may need to bring, such as an apron.

Ingredients

You can either choose to bake cupcakes with the children, or have them decorate pre-made cakes. It's completely up to you! To bake cupcakes, simply follow an easy chocolate or vanilla cupcake recipe.

Sweets such as smarties, chocolate chips, and even marshmallows are ideal. You will also need some delicious sprinkles in a colour to match the party, whether that's blue or rainbow! Mix things up by also decorating donuts and gingerbread men. To make things extra fun, why not hold a 'bake off' style competition or have a blindfolded cupcake contest!

Food

Although everyone will probably be full of cupcakes, you will need some other nibbles at the party, too. Fresh fruit and vegetables with tasty dips will be a healthy option that everyone will love. For the drinks, a delicious milkshake is ideal. Add some cute dotty straws to complete the adorable cupcake party theme.

Party Favours

Once all of the cake making is finished, send the little ones home with party favours! It's an amazing way to thank them for coming. Cupcake Boxes A cupcake box with one of their handmade cupcakes is the perfect party favour. Plus, the kids can also decorate the boxes as one of the party activities. Party Bags Alternatively, pop the cupcakes into traditional party goodie bags.

After the party is over, don't forget to help your child thank their friends for coming. They'll need some adorable cupcake thank you cards - like these!
