Minecraft Themed Party

Sarah decided this year the party theme would be all about Minecraft and video games!  Since she first heard of Minecraft from our neighbour's son she was addicted to it.  I think one of the things that solidified Sarah's love of the game was coming across YouTube gamers Stampy Longnose and iBallisticSquid.  She watches both of their broadcasts religiously and whenever she is feeling low there is no one like Stampy to change her mood!

Here is everyone getting ready for cake!

Sarah and I enjoyed getting everything prepared for this party and all the little bits and bobs we did to make the house all Minecrafty.  With her father's assistance Sarah printed a load of mine craft blocks (grass, gold, diamond, redstone) and decorated the walls with them.





Sarah had the brilliant idea of making Snow gollums (from Ihascupquake's YouTube channel QuakenBake playlist) from marshmallows and candy melts.  They were really simple to make and Sarah enjoyed giving them all individual expressions.





We made loads of Minecraft themed treats to go along with the Snow gollums.  Gold ingots (toffee), red stone (red hard candy), TNT (red licorice wrapped in TNT labels), Sticks (pretzel sticks), Cookies (mini chocolate chip cookies), Sand blocks (Rice Krispie Treats), Grass blocks (RKT with green icing), Dirt blocks (chocolate RKT) and Diamonds (blue hard candy) and of course Mr Stampy Cat's favourite... cake!

We also coloured the Fanta Orange and Sprite green and called it Creeper Juice!

We played 'Pixel-ary' which was Sarah's pixelated take on Pictionary.  Everyone had to make their drawing on the wall using different coloured sticky note squares.  It was great to see how creative they could be.









Sarah had asked that I decorate her cake with her favourite Minecraft Youtubers.  On this cake LforLee has joined Mr. Stampy Cat, Ballistic Squid, AmyLee33 and Agatha the friendly creeper with a bit of Minecraft cake.




Dr. Trayaurus from the Diamond Minecart and Mr. Drippy (Lord High Lord of the Faries - from a Ni Ni No Kuni lets play done by Stampy) also joined the festivities.
