I have bought the lovleliest pastel pink 3 tier cake stand and was very norty and bought 8 (1 each) amazing individual mini decorated cup cake things from a posh shop in Columbis Rd.

So far so good.

Keeping on the sweet track I also bought 8 gingerbread men with the stuff to decorate yr own man.

Then thought I'd do a big bowl of strawberries and grapes.

One boy is dairy free so sandwiches (cut into shapes) ham / strawberry jam / grated carrot and cream cheese / grated cheddar & marmite

carrot batons
strips of red & yellow peppers
cheese
cucumber

a bowl of crisps

What am I missing?
Will they go home crying?!?!?!

one more savoury thing......

maybe homemade chicken nuggets?

ohhh yes, and I just made about 40 of them yesterday! Sorted, love you!

They won't but you might if they turn their noses up at all your effort. I did after hosting my first children's party.

Just stick them in front of a big bowl of Wotsits and some choccy biscuits and they will be happy (and will eat as much as they would, no matter what you put in front of them).

Perfect! Sounds lovely, actually

oops, did not mean to demean your efforts which sound wonderful. Just small children are experts at crushing all your hopes and ambitions when it comes to party food.

I can't wait for them all to leave already!

It's all about the cake stand! And it'll be eaten off Charlie & Lola plates so DD will be WELL happy!
