A girly racing Sugar Rush party for the twins' 4th birthday


Best sisters forever! I made their headpiece to match their themed name (Cotton Candy for Dashielle and Lollipop for Callista).

When we saw the movie - Wreck it Ralph, I was instantly in loved with Sugar Rush! The twins' loved it so much too and I thought, this is the next theme for my girls' party. It is not the usual too girly thing, but it has everything my girls love - speed and racing, pink and green and all the sweetness it has!

My desire is to make the day different and memorable the very least.  I don't give huge and expensive parties to my kids.  I just want them and their guests to remember that day they did something different!

I didn't bother much on the venue and food by hiring a caterer and paying for venue rental - a Mcdonald's party will be just as awesome for this kind of party.  So, we had the venue at Mcdonald's and we were really surprised that the party area of the branch we have chosen is the most spacious venue I have seen from other Mcdonald's play area.

Here are some pictures of my twins' Sugar Rush racing party!
Colorful and oh so sweet! These were designed by my sister!

A sweet friend and godmother of the twins, decorated the dessert table which became the centerpiece of the stage.
I bought tiny cupcakes, melted some white chocolate and sprinkled candy sprinkles then topped them with these cupcake toppers (also designed by my sister).
This is the other dessert table. :)
Candies here were ordered online together with the giant lollipops!



Callista's cake

Dashie's cake
I bought the green petit skirt and the tutu was from Erin et Vivien!
My favorite cake baker just never fail to surprise me - Nikko of Baked Twinkles did these and the birthday cakes!
The night before, which took me roughly 6 hours to make, these were parked on our kitchen.

My husband had a different layout for the Racing Kart station for the kids.  It was placed in the center of the venue so that kids together with their parents can build them.

We included a Build your own Candy Racing Kart for each of the kids.
This was such a big hit!
I built different karts without designs and the kids freely designed it with candies and sprinkles!  I packed them individually with their extra candies.

The cute labels, invites and all themed printed materials were designed by my sister and I just printed them on our home printer.   I just repacked the candies and cookies on small individual plastic wrapper.




It was a hit!



I did not spend anything on lootbags which usually becomes clutter anyway after the party.  But, the Make a Racing Kart the kids made, the much nicer prizes from Mcdonald's, the giant lollipops and the grab-all-you-can candies from the dessert table.

Everybody had fun including my kiddos.  I will be posting more details on the kart racing icing recipe soon!
