Masterchef Photo Invitation |
Happy Birthday to you, and you and you! My triplets have turned 10 and because they share their
birthday, they also share their party so we needed to find a gender
neutral theme that they could all agree on. They finally decided on a Master Chef party. I wanted to make it a birthday they could remember because double figures is such a special milestone and so is being triplets!
A lot of time and energy went into preparing for this party. The first
thing I did was book our local church hall. Something I would highly
recommend if you have a small kitchen and you don't want a lot of
children racing around your house. We had 29 guests at our party and
there is no way that number would have fit in our house.
Obviously red was our chosen colour theme so I went out and bought some
fabric to make up aprons and chef hats for our mini chefs to take home
as a party favour and to use while at the party to keep their clothes
clean. I had several sewing days with Sandra the other half of Mother
Duck who very generously gave me her time! The aprons and hats came up
beautifully. To make the aprons, we just used one of our own aprons as a
template and made it a bit smaller so that it wouldn't be huge on the
kids. There are lots of free patterns and tutorials showing you how to
make chef hats, we chose to use this one by Joanna at stardustshoes.
Our Dessert Table (pictured below) had the birthday trio's cakes on
there, lots of red and white lollies, "chefstache" pops or chocolate
mustaches, "Tomatoes" or oreo pops decorated to look like tomatoes, red
and white coconut ice and chef cupcakes.

We ran four activities during the party, the first was cupcake
decorating. I set up a cupcake decorating station with lots of
different coloured butter creams, and lots of different toppings;
lollies, sprinkles etc. I designed some cupcake boxes to transport the
kids cupcakes home in. I wasn't sure how the boys would like this
activity but surprisingly they got into it just as much as the girls!
Some tips for the cupcake station
* Have spoons and plastic knives for spreading the buttercream
* Use a muffin pan to put the toppings in

Our second activity was pizza making. I
picked up the pizza bases pictured below from the local supermarket. $4.50 for 12 which is their regular price. What a bargain! I had
inquired at our local pizza shop if I could buy their dough, this was by
far the cheaper option and less time consuming too! You could have any
topping you like, we chose shredded ham, mozzarella cheese, capsicum,
olives and pineapple. We massively over-catered with the ham and cheese
but it's better to have too much than not enough....right?!
Our third activity was a photo booth. I designed some chef photo props
for the kids to have fun with. We had the guests pose individually and also with the birthday kids. I
will be using those photo's to go with the thank you cards. :) It was
lots of fun!
Our fourth activity was playing pin the mustache on the chef. It got
lots of laughs, and the winner was given some child sized cooking
utensils. The pin the mustache on the chef game is also available for purchase.
I was super happy with how the printables came out. I also loved the
little chef cupcakes I made. Very simple to make just some black
fondant rolled out and I hand cut mustaches. (I so wish I had a little
mustache cutter!) and then some plain white fondant just shaped into a
chef hat. Very easy, but very effective!
Every "chef" received an apron and a chef hat to put on when they
arrived. They also got to keep it and take home! We also sent home with
the kids the cupcakes they decorated in the cupcake boxes shown below
as well as a lolly bag.
The party table that the kids sat at looked great with all the
printables on there; place mats, place cards and personalised cups with
their names on it. I have found personalised cups to be such a great
idea because cups can never get mixed up!
Food
On the kids table we had "fairy bread" with red sprinkles and bowls of chips. We also had sausage rolls, party pies and cocktail frankfurters. Of course they got to eat their own pizzas too!
I've always been a stickler for making sure my kids are treated as
individuals so I never make them share a birthday cake! It means we
always have an over-abundance of cake but who cares? They love having
their own cake and blowing out their own candles! This year to fit the
theme I made a chef hat, and apron and a rolling pin. I'm not the worlds
best cake maker but they were made with a lot of love. :)
