6th birthday - Ben 10 style

Recently my 2nd son celebrated his 6th birthday!

Considering his last party was when he turned 1, to say he was excited about this one is an understatement!

He insisted on inviting his whole class (and about half the school, but we had a limit of 16 kids, so he had to settle for just his prep class).

Just like my first son's 6th birthday 2 years ago (again, Ben 10 themed) we contacted a fantastic company called 'Character city' and Ben 10 came to our house and had every single child involved and amazed!

Of course, the food had to be all green or Ben 10 related.




Omnitrix cookies and a twist on the 'frog in the ponds' - we called it '6 in the ponds' :)
Instead of making up lolly bags, I decided to make omnitrix cookies! I baked sugar biscuits, tinted white chocolate green and spread it over the cooled biscuit and placed a edible icing transfer of the omntrix on the cookie and decorated with sprinkles! Once they were set, I placed in a bag with a lolly pop, and handed them out to the kids when they were ready to leave!! A HUGE HIT!!
