Adult & Tween Double Birthday Party BBQ

Another last minute birthday party, this one for my sister-in-law and young cousin. I used bright girlie colors and everyone brought food for a BBQ. 

 

Colorful poppers doubled as entertainment and party favors.

 

 

Drinks and candy! Starbursts matched perfect with the decor!

This is the present I got for my sister-in-law who is an excellent cook! She has a box of bulk spices that are kept in baggies, so I got her 20 glass spice jars (from World Market) and labels to go with them.

Cake Balls!

This was my first attempt at making cake balls. As soon as I saw this idea on Bakerella.com I had to try it!  It was a lot of fun, but A LOT of work! The best thing would be to let the balls sit in the fridge for 4+ hours before dipping them in chocolate, and make sure you don't burn the chocolate!

This was my extremely mess attempt, but they were deeeelicious!!

One box of red velvet cake mix made about 60+/- It was like a never ending cake ball event!

Some day, when I have a bunch of time on my hands, I will get back to making these again.
