Minnie Mouse Party Cake Ideas

A Minnie party isn’t complete without themed treats. You don’t have to buy a cake from a bakery to make it memorable. This simple Minnie Mouse birthday cake is easy but still spectacular. Place three circular cakes together to create that classic mouse shape. Create the bow out of the cake pieces that you trim from the round cakes to make them level. Isn’t that clever? | The Soccer Mom Blog

What could be girlier than a pink polka-dot Minnie cake? This one is perfection! We love the fondant Minnie mouse ears and the giant pink Minnie bow on top. | Kara’s Party Ideas

Another low-cost Minnie birthday party solution are making your own dessert. Cupcakes made from a boxed cake mix are easy to dress up Minnie style. Top with vanilla or chocolate icing, add Oreo Minnie ears and a pretty pink fondant bow in the middle. | Ottawa Mommy Club

It doesn’t have to be February for you to make these adorable Valentine’s Day-themed Minnie cupcakes. They’re perfect for a child who loves bright and fun colors any time of year. They’re pretty but straightforward and can be tweaked to fit any color scheme you like by changing out the cookie icing and sprinkle colors. | Cutefetti

Minnie Mouse Birthday Food

Add these Disney sugar cookies with sprinkle dip to your dessert table. They’re colorful, fun, and delicious. The cream cheese dip pairs well with sugar cookies, but they’re tasty plain, too. A mickey mouse cookie cutter is easy to find on Amazon. Also take a look at our funfetti dip! | XOXO Bella

Minnie cheese and cracker snacks are the perfect way to feed your guests as they mingle. Kids and adults alike will enjoy them. Cut the cheese into mouse shapes, as you see here. The fruit skewers are a great idea, too. It’s always good to have a few healthy options for your guests. | Tanya Staab

Make some Minnie Mouse cookie pops to add to the Minnie Mouse dessert table, or send them home with your guests as favors. They’re easy to make with regular Oreos, mini Oreos, dipping chocolate, fun sprinkles, and lollipop sticks. | Living Locurto

How about this easy-peasy treat using tasty fruit like strawberries and blueberries. These strawberry and blueberry fruit skewers are another healthy choice, and they look like Minnie’s bow. We also love the “Hot Diggity Dogs” because you can’t have a Mickey Mouse event without hot dogs! | Kara’s Party Ideas

Minnie Birthday Party Décor Ideas

Create party hats with mouse ears for the guests to wear. The pink tulle ribbon is lightweight, and tulle is much more affordable than fabric bows, which is nice. The centerpiece that reads ‘ONE’ is equally adorable. You could also use decorated letters to spell out the child’s name on the table for a second birthday. | Hostess with the Mostest

Turn Styrofoam balls and shredded paper into a gorgeous Minnie Mouse centerpiece for the party. You’ll find loads of other cute ideas, too, like the polka dot tablecloth and napkins, the Minnie Mouse Rice Krispie treats, the simple polka dot cakes, and the mouse-shaped sandwiches. | Chickabug

Want to host a toddler birthday? A two year old can have a have a playful themed oh twodles girl birthday. There are great oh two-dles birthday party supplies for girls on Amazon including this mini mouse party décor set in pink/gold, pink/black or even red/black.

Make this spectacular Minnie backdrop with tissue paper pom-poms attached to a mouse-shaped paper cutout. Fluffing out the pom-poms can be time-consuming (and the pom-poms may get a little expensive), so you could always crumple black tissue paper to get a similar effect. | Jenny Cookies

Use these printable mouse ears to dress up the paper plates and make them look really special. The candy bar wrappers and napkin rings are super cute, too. | Chickabug

Mouse lanterns will look fantastic over your table. All you need to do is add mouse ears and a bow! | The Suburban Mom

Minnie Mouse Birthday Party Favors

Grab the free printable mouse heads to make these Mickey and Minnie Valentine Pops. This idea is genius and will be a big hit with kids of all ages. You’ll also need some clear plastic ornaments, and you’ll fill each half with M&Ms. That gets glued to the paper to make the mouse pops. Aren’t they gorgeous? | Down Redbud Drive

One of these Disney cuties coloring shirts will make an excellent favor or gift for the birthday girl. Make sure the kids use fabric markers to color them in. | Artsy Fartsy Mama

Hot chocolate bombs are really popular right now, so if you’re throwing a Minnie Mouse birthday party in the fall or winter, these cocoa bombs will make fantastic favors. | Dollar Crafter

Tell the Easter story to kids with these easy-to-read Easter Bible Verses printable PDF. Download 40 short Easter scripture cards to ready daily with your family. Read in the ERV translation, they make understanding the resurrection of Jesus simple and clear.

If you’ve been a Christian awhile, you likely know the story of Jesus’s life and death. Sometimes knowing the story to well, makes it a challenge to know where to begin.

For our family’s next set of scripture cards, I wanted to focus on a joyful season. While there is mourning in the story of the death of Christ, there is joy in his resurrection.

In order for these cards to meet the needs of all our family, I focused on the translation. In these ERV (easy-to-read) Easter Bible Verses for Kids, the Easter story is told in a format children can follow along and understand.

Easter Bible Verses for Kids

What makes these 40 cards set apart. These Easter scripture cards are in the ERV translation. The easy-to-read Easter bible verses for kids clearly explain the Easter Story. They focus on the life of Jesus, his death, resurrection of Christ, and the Gospel message.

The main focus in the forty cards for Easter are Christ being raised from the dead and accepting Christ. There is very brief focus on the death of Christ.

Key People In the Easter Story

In understanding the Easter story, share with your child some of the main characters.

Jesus – The son of God. Rose from the dead on the third day.
Judas – Betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
Thomas – One of Jesus’s followers. Did not believe Jesus rose from the dead until he saw and felt his wounds.
Mary Magdalene – A friend of Jesus. One of the first to see the tomb was empty.
Disciples – Also known as the 12 Apostles or Jesus’s followers.
Pontius Pilate – The governor who gave permission to execute Jesus of Nazareth in Jerusalem.
Soldiers – Responsible for Jesus’s death. Also guarded the tomb where Jesus was buried.

You can explain these characters to your kids before sharing the Easter scripture verses.

Short Easter Bible Verses

In this Easter Bible Verse Bundle are forty scripture cards to explain the Easter story.

These ERV story sequencing cards are grouped to give a brief history of Jesus and share about his betrayal, his death, and give living hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Lastly, in summary, the set include the message of the cross. These bible also include Bible verses that summarize the Gospel and lead followers to accept Jesus as your savior.

About Jesus

1. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection. I am life. Everyone who believes in me will have life, even if they die. And everyone who lives and believes in me will never really die… do you believe this?” John 11:25-26

3. Some of the people were walking ahead of Jesus. Others were walking behind him. They all shouted, “…God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise to God in heaven!” Matthew 21:9

Jesus is Betrayed

4. In the evening Jesus was at the table with the twelve followers. They were all eating. Then Jesus said, “Believe me when I say that one of you twelve here will hand me over to my enemies.” The followers were very sad to hear this. Each one said, “Lord, surely I am not the one!” Matthew 26: 20-22

5. One of the twelve followers went to talk to the leading priests. This was the follower named Judas Iscariot. He said, “I will hand Jesus over to you. What will you pay me for doing this?” The priests gave him 30 silver coins. Matthew 26:14-15

23. Jesus said to her, “You don’t need to hold on to me! I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go to my followers and tell them this: ‘I am going back to my Father and your Father. I am going back to my God and your God.’” John 20:17

24. Mary Magdalene went to the followers and told them, “I saw the Lord!” And she told them what he had said to her. John 20:18

Love to cook? If so, take a look at these baking hacks and tips. Creative ideas for time savers and shortcuts in your kitchen.

Baking Hacks and Tips

How can you make baking easier?

Let me start this out by saying I am no chef and I have no special baking skills. I’m just an average person in the kitchen, but I am good at following directions. As long as I have a recipe, I can often pull off a pretty good meal or dessert. However, when it comes to being creative, efficient, or otherwise talented with my baking skills, don’t look at me! I’ve had to learn easy, better ways to bake and make it fun and I’ve found quite a few that have really helped. Whether you’re making cakes, cookies, pastries, or a copy-cat restaurant dessert, you’ll definitely benefit from these sweet tips for baking.

How can I be good at baking?

Being good at baking cookies and cakes isn’t too hard if you follow an easy recipe. Bake from the box if you have to — there’s a reason it’s a great mom hack for awesome birthday cakes for kids! And if you’re looking for time saver tips, baking shortcuts, dessert hacks, we have some great ideas for you to try today. From ways to cut and soften butter, keeping brown sugar fresh, and your favorite cake moist, take a look at these easy baking tips and tricks before you begin your next delicious project!

How can I bake without an oven?

If you’re looking for a low-mess, low-key way to bake your favorite cookies, cakes, and cupcakes, use your air fryer, Instant Pot, or Crock-Pot. These handy kitchen essentials are for more than just great dinners and snacks — you can use them for your cake, cupcakes, and cookies too! See our links below for air fryer cheat sheets and Instant Pot recipes.

Before you dive into these baking tips, save these Baking Hacks and Tips for a quick reference. I keep a copy of these Baking Tips in my Recipe Binder. (I suggest you laminate this cheat sheet for easy clean-up!)

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
