Here is a picture
of the Lady Bug Cake.

This cake was the Kid’s favorite… and mine!! So, Yummy!!

Here is a picture of the Frog Birthday Cake. Isn’t he cute? It was tough to
cut this cake… he was a MASTERPIECE.

There is my Son Riley, the Birthday Boy, getting ready to blow out the candle
on his Birthday Cake.

The
rest of the images from the Birthday Party Menu I borrowed from the Taste of
Home Web site. My pictures do not do the items justice.

Here is a pictures of the Fly Burgers. These mini burgers were a huge hit with
the kids. Their small hands had no trouble holding the items. My Fly Burgers
looked more like beatles, but they were yummy!!!

One of the appetizers that I made was the Cheese Worms with Grasshopper Dip.
This appetizer was delicious, but the grasshopper legs drove me crazy when I
was putting this item together. They were the green part of green onions and
I couldn’t seem to get them to look the way they do in the picture, but none-the-less
it was really good.

Another appetizer I had was the Lady Bug Appetizers… These were super easy
to make and very, very tasty.

I made these Butterfly Cheese Sandwiches thinking that these would go quickly
with the kids, but believe it or not they went fast because the adults couldn’t
stop eating them. I think the kids were afraid to eat them because of the olives
on top. But, these sandwiches are still worth having on the menu at any children’s
party…. for the adults. They were really great!!

The last item on the menu that I got from the Taste of Home’s Kid-friendly
cooking & Crafts Magazine were these Watermelon Cookies… I know these
weren’t part of the bug theme, but I had to make them. I found them to be so
cute!! And, they were a hit. Everything was… it was a great party with great
food.

If you missed yesterday’s
Taste
of Home Kid-friendly cooking & Crafts Magazine Review take a look at it.
This magazine gave me all these ideas and more!! Plus, this magazine is chuck
full of craft ideas for parties and holidays throughout the year. It also has
a section for “Boredom Busters”. It is definitely a magazine I will keep around
all year round.
