Savannah Rose's 12th bday.

What a cute birthday party Carolyn planned for Savannah. She planned a Cupcake Wars themed party and it was a hit! She had different batters for the three teams and three challenges. The first challenge was assigned ingredients. The teams opened an envelope and read what they had to put into their cupcakes or frosting. Carolyn had everything you could think of. One had rollos and graham cracker crumbs (they added bacon too), another had raspberries and pretzels, and the third team had chocolate mint kisses with red hot tamales. The next challenge was color. Each team had a colored batter and colored frosting and had to come up with some kind of creative use for that. And the third challenge was the Christmas challenge. We had vanilla cupcakes already made and they just had to decorate them with a Christmas theme. These kids did this from 10:30 until 2 and time just flew by! They loved it and so did the moms helping out. Carolyn had her best friend from college there, Barbara and she, Jill, and I "mentored" the teams. Then, Andrew, Dennis, and Don judged the cupcakes on things like, most flavor, uniqueness, presentation, taste, etc. It really was one of the most fun birthday parties I've been to and Jake and Ava loved it!
