Build a Better Birthday Party with Wilton!

by 449 Comments

As a mother of 5 children, I know a bit about kids’ birthday parties. Starting in December, I have a child’s birthday every 2-6 weeks until June. It can be tiring (“One down, four to go!”) but it is also fun. I love to bake. I have discovered over the years that it is possible to have a fun, themed birthday party on a budget.

Last week, I received a package from Wilton that had my kids instantly squealing with glee. I admit I was drooling a little over the shiny, new bakewear. Necco declared that we now have a seven year supply of sprinkles (knowing my kids I will have to hide them if I want them to last a month!). My favorite product in the whole bunch was the brown, white, and black cow-shaped sprinkles. Is that not the funnest thing ever?

Reese can’t wait to throw a Princess-themed party in March with all of the decorations, pink and purple frosting & sprinkles.

AJ, on the other hand, has set aside the Car-themed party supplies for his big day in May.

I personally liked the circus themed products, so I declared today a party day, and we made cupcakes. Let’s just say that nobody complained.

Here’s the cupcake I decorated. Isn’t it cute?

The kids (including a few friends that were over to play) each decorated their own cupcakes. Emphasis on the plural.

My review: These birthday products were fast and easy to use, bright and colorful, and high quality. I loved the fact that the cupcake wraps were made out of non-tearing, sturdy material instead of flimsy paper (I was able to wipe the Cool Whip frosting off of the wrap I used above and put it on another cupcake). I was also happy to see that the products were very reasonably priced.

The Giveaway: Wilton has an identical package of birthday products to ship to one lucky reader of my blog (worth $180!)!

To Enter: Simply visit Wilton’s new Party Line and tell me which new product you like best.

Bonus entries: (1) Tweet about this giveaway (see that tweet button at the bottom of the post?) and/or (2) Subscribe to my feed

The rules: You must be a resident of the US to enter. Contest will run until next Monday, January 25 at midnight Eastern time and winner will be notified by email.

Disclosure: I received the above baking and party supplies free from Wilton to review, but the thoughts and opinions are mine. The smiles are purely my kids’.

  192. What is not to love in their party line? I especially love the dots line. I am a total dot girl! I found your blog through the link up that you did on Kelli's blog. I am also on Fishful Thinking. I am excited to check out more of your site.

  258. I love the Celebration Cupcake Wraps'n Pix set. They're perfect for an adult birthday, which is what we have coming up next, but they could also be used for a kid's party.

  286. I have such a range of ages of grandchildren (11) that the Royal Icing sweet dots would be great but also the jungle animal or big top dots would add interest to their birthday cakes that I TRY to make for each of them (age appropriate) Thanks for sponsoring this giveaway.
