Where are these parties held? I will come to you! Most people plan these parties in their own home. I am glad to come to most any location for the party. We will need a place for each child to sit at a table and to be able to pass and share the frosting colors and tips (an add-on items if requested). Also, an available sink (for clean-up) is needed. There is charge for travel in Harlingen or San Benito. Other locations may incur a travel expense.

Are decorating CAKES the only option?   There are two other options:  you may choose to create cupcakes or cookies.  Contact me for details.

 

May Create-a-Cake be done with any themed birthday party?  Absolutely!  Because you are responsible for the decorations and partyware, you may use any party theme like.  As a part of the package, you get to choose a *custom decorated cake to be served at the party.  Also, because you have a choice of colors and decorations used, their cake creations can also be incorporated into any theme.

 

Will you attend the party and give instructions?   Yes!  As part of the package I will attend the party and give up to 30 minutes of instructions and tips, and help the children create their very own cakes. 

 

What decorating techniques will be taught?  I will show them how to make stars, drop flowers, rosettes, leaves, simple borders and writing.  For older children, I can even show them how to make a few simple flowers like roses, mums and daisies. 

 

May Create-a-Cake be done with young children?  The minimum age for a Create-a-Cake party is 8 years old.  At this age children are fairly independent, but still require one-on-one attention and a little help.

 

How do I reserve my party?  I must have at least 2 weeks notice with a 50% (non-refundable) deposit to hold your party date.  Please contact me by e-mail at mycakesandmore@yahoo.com or through my Contact Page on this website. 

 

Special Note:  One additional adult "helper" is needed for every 10 children in attendance. (If any of the children attending are younger than age 8, an additional adult helper is required to assist that child.)
