spoon to spoon.
- Musical ice bergs: Instead of chairs, provide white pillows as ice bergs, then set
the music for fun.

Penguin party
How to have the coolest theme birthday party this side of Antarctica
Warm up to the idea of a penguin party! While a bit unusual for a kids party theme,
you'll find it's a charming theme for a wintertime birthday and searching for penguin
favors and supplies isn't as hard as you think. This theme party on ice is twice as nice
when combined with a trip to the zoo or with an ice skating show or party at an ice
skating rink. It would make a crazy cool pool party, and you can have just as much fun
with this theme at home. It's sure to be a party to remember (and your little one will
surely get "happy feet") when you incorporate these fun ideas:

- Wintery White Icicles: Simple touches will help even a plain white cake. Line your
cake plate with a felt icicle decoration Martha Stewart style or craft her paper
icicles. It's the same basic design, but with felt you can save your icy
masterpiece.
- Penguin Ice bergs: Gummy Penguins, pictured left, make an ideal treat for favor
bags. Top them on cupcakes. Go ahead and freeze the gummies in ice to make
a creative drink of penguins on icebergs, too! Or get straight to your theme with
penguin ice cubes right. Another way to freeze the fun is to make snow cones
topped with penguin gummies, of course, to make a delicious frozen treat.
- Take this theme to the top! It's not like they make penguin cake toppers, but you
can get creative. The Penguin Collection by Wild Republic, has a festive array of
Emperor and Rock Hopper penguins and would make your little Emporor
penguin happy. Or top cupcakes with the Penguins Toob, by Safari, pictured left.
- Waddle on over to Wilton: Make your own penguin candies with help from
Wilton's candy molds and candy melts. Order also the Penguin Pop Candy Molds.
- March to Martha for Marzipan penguins. Sweet penguins perched on a white iced
cake.
- Freeze the fun. Make a penguin ice sculpture, and blue raspberry gelatin to
accent the party sweets. See mold, top right.

Set the Scene: How to Create a Penguin Palace
A winter white wonderland makes a refreshing summer birthday party, but even in

fun decorating. Set the table with bone white china, and wintery milk glass from the
thrift shop. Your arctic oasis starts with white and accents of silver and sprinkles of
powder blue:
- Let it snow, let it snow let it snow! Sure, you can hang traditional paper
snowflakes everywhere, but for a bit of the unexpected you can create
snowflakes from silver and white doilies, or for a dimensional look craft snow
flakes from silver and white pipe cleaners. Suspend some of your creations with
fishing wire from the ceiling, affix others to the walls or windows, and let the
best pieces fall as table confetti as if it were fallen snow. Doilies will also accent
the buffet table nicely under the dishes. Use a snowflake crunch to make
decorative borders on invitations, thank you cards, envelopes, and favor tags.
Make home made confetti for the tables and cards using the punch, too.
- Architect an arctic oasis for the buffet table: Form an iceberg mound with a white
towel, then layer with a white tablecloth and accent with penguin figurines. Add
a few polar bears for authenticity. The landscape should include icy waters, whic
h requires a round mirror and some faux snow encircling it. In a pinch, use
shredded coconut for the snow. If you have the time, build an igloo from sugar
cubes. Mortar the sugar cubes with Marshmallow cream.
- Get off your iceberg and get going on a penguin party. It's not so difficult to have a
penguin party. Get cooking on a great Ice-cape penguin inspired cake idea.
Craft some pine cone penguins. Play some penguin party games. And search
online for penguin party supplies:
