Resurrection Eggs

I saw Resurrection Eggs in a Christian bookstore, but I didn’t want to spend so much money. So, I searched Pinterest for ideas. I saw several, which had the same objects as the ones in the store, but I decided in the end to put my own touch. I created an Excel document with verses and added pictures to the backs. If you would like a copy, I am happy to share. Then, I went ahead and put the objects in the eggs. I did find my main ideas from Secrets of a Super Mommy.

Iron Man Party

Having a birthday to celebrate the day before Easter is a little crazy for preparations, but I think everything went really well. We had it at Super Jump Party Zone, which was great because they do all the cleanup and help with the party.

The Iron Man cake was inspired from several different websites, but the inside was inspired by my mom. She suggested that I separate my white cake mix into 2 bowls and then add lemon Jello to one and strawberry Jello to the other. It came out very moist and matched the Iron Man theme. I promised the Little Man his own cake, but I did individual cupcakes for all of the kids. I double swirled the frosting for the cupcakes with the my new favorite frosting recipe, which I got from one of the parents in my class. It is not so sickly sweet as some frostings you get.

Butter Cream Frosting Recipe:

3 CUPS POWDERED SUGAR

1/2 CUP BUTTER (room temp)

1 tsp VANILLA
1 TBS WHIPPING CREAM (I used a lot more)

Whip Sugar, Butter and Vanilla. Then add Whipping Cream. You can add more or less whipping cream until desired consistency is reached. 

I made Iron Man marshmallow pops, inspired from Sugarena, but I put them in the gift bags.

 

To balance out the sugar, I made fresh strawberry and pineapple skewers, inspired from http://www.pinterest.com/pin/61220876158908627/.

 

Most of the gift bag items, including the boxes, came from Oriental Trading.
