{Celebrate} Byron's 9th Birthday Pizza & Movie Night

Last week was Byron's Birthday and he celebrated by having a Pizza and Movie Night with his friends at home!  I wanted to make it special by creating a Candy & Snack Bar for the kids so they could help themselves to popular Movie snacks such as Popcorn, Jaffa's, Pick n Mix, Maltesers, Choc Honeycomb, snakes and mini coca cola bottles.   l provided some noodle boxes which l decorated with some red & white Ribbon and Printables from Poshtique Designs.

Misty from Poshtique Designs is wonderful and l used her Movie Birthday Printables http://www.etsy.com/listing/69664236/movie-birthday-party-printable-movie which come with a banner, ticket invitations, labels and 2" circles which l featured throughout the party.  I started with the invitations a few weeks prior to the party and created some excitement by giving each child a Jumbo box of popcorn with their ticket invitation to get them all in the mood!

My clever hubby created the Candy Bar canopy for me from some dowel l had left from Audrey's Fairy Party and some red stripe fabric from Spotlight.  I  attached the canopy to our old kitchen trolley and made this the focal point for the party.  I had found some Large Red Perspex Stars that someone was throwing away and thought they would be perfect for the back drop and then picked up a roll of skinny red and white stripe fabric from the op shop for $5.  I purchased some admit one tickets in red and yellow from Princess and the Pirate http://www.theprincessandthepirate.com.au/ and used these like streamers as well as purchasing the candy scoops, yellow striped straws and the vintage chalk labels which really helped give the party a retro feel which l was trying to achieve.

This year l put a bit of a spin on the desserts made for Byron's Party and made some Mini Hamburger Cupcakes with French Fry Cookies.  I was inspired by Bakerella http://www.bakerella.com/fast-food-fun/ and used her tutorial on how to make these cute fast food desserts using the link above.  I also used Bakerella's fries template to put the cookies in and attached one of the 2" Circles from Poshtique Designs to complete the look!  Byron's Birthday Cake this year was a Pizza Blondie Cake which was delicious and too easy to make so l have included the recipe for you to try!  I also made some caramel popcorn ice cream and put these into little dixie cups and attached another of Poshtique Designs 2" Circles to add some more retro flair!
