For the Love of Minions!!

I wanted to share some photos of the minion themed birthday I had for my son's 5th birthday. All of the decorations are handmade! My husband and I had a lot of fun making everything while we watched two seasons of The Good Wife...lol. 

This year I decided to finally make a miniature version of a dessert bar with cotton candy, chocolate covered pretzels, cookie brownies, chocolate drizzled rice krispies, minion cake and cupcakes.

My suggestion is to enlist a helper. I asked my niece to help. She dipped and drizzled everything in chocolate and made the cotton candy. My husband helped with the fondant work on the big minion. The big minion took two 8" cake pans and one 8" domed Betty Crocker pan. I used twinkies to make the minions on the cupcakes.

The minion decorations and games were super easy to make. We had pin the goggles on the minion and decided to put a "J"  on the uniform for my son James instead of a "G."

I know this is a bad picture but I completely forgot to take pictures of the good and evil minion bags that we made. We used purple and yellow bags, construction paper, cut outs, and
markers (brown, purple, yellow, black, and silver).

 We used minion cut outs for everything!!

Finally we decorated our front door using a yellow plastic table cover, blue poster board and computer paper.
