How to Host a Candy Themed Party

!±8± How to Host a Candy Themed Party

The word "candy" is powerful enough to excite kids like Santa on Christmas morning and take adults back to their carefree childhood memories. Even the most health conscious people have a weakness in their hearts for some type of candy. Some may love chocolate, while for others, gummy bears are the sweets they can't resist. With sweets being the ultimate comfort food for people of all ages, it's no wonder that candy themed parties for both children and adults have become increasingly popular these last few years.

Candy themed parties can be easily hosted at home by incorporating a wide variety of candy-themed activities, games and refreshments. For children, how you plan a candy themed shindig is mostly based on the ages of the kids attending. For small children, parties should be simpler in décor and the amount of skill required for games and activities. Parents of kids of any age can start out by setting the tone for their gathering by sending out candy themed or candy decorated invitations. The next step is to use candy themed supplies like balloons, decorations, plates and cups. Once these basics are set up, it is time for the fun part of the planning.

A major part of any successful kids' parties are the games and activities that will keep children entertained. Candy and dessert themed crafts are a great way to differentiate from traditional staples like pin-the-tail on-the-donkey and Simon Says. Kids as young as 3 years old can partake in a wide variety of fun stuff that will let them personalize their own edible creations. With Sugar Cookie Decorating, children can break out the frosting and candies and pretend to be a great pastry chef as they design their own cookie.

Chocolate Sculptures is another popular activity that kids as young as 3 can enjoy even though it sounds more complex than it really is. Children just pick a sculpture that catches their fancy and then create their own masterpiece with candy, sprinkles and frosting.

For kids who prefer a giant wad of chewing gum to chocolate, Gumball Machine Decorating lets them give a machine a makeover with markers and edible decorations, plus a complimentary bag of gumballs to get that machine truly rolling.

For children who are a bit older at 5 and over, the crafts get a little more intensive, with activities like Candy Jewelry and Sugar Art. Little girls with a sweet tooth who are also aspiring fashionistas will adore making Candy Jewelry, as it combines the best of both worlds. Kids get to create their own bracelet or necklace made entirely of edible beads and charms for a piece that not only looks greats but tastes great too.

Another fun choice for kids over 5 years old is Sugar Art. Children get to pick their own vessel then fill it with over 10 choices of colored sugar, creating pretty and edible layers as they go.

Kids over 7 years old have even more craft options to choose from, as they can decorate Picture Frames, Masks, Crowns or Door Hangers with various forms of candy to make their own unique design. They can also recreate cool images with the sweet stuff by making their own Candy Mosaic.

Once the crafts are done, it is time for Candy-themed games for some good old-fashioned birthday party fun. For kids ages 3 and up, Licorice Limbo and Candy Bingo are sweet updates on classic party games that are even more fun with a sugar rush.

Children ages 5 and over have even more choices of games that make use of physical, mental, and Kobayashi-esque eating skills. On the physical side is the Jawbreaker Relay, where teams relay race with a 1-pound jawbreaker. Meanwhile, Candymonium is a combined treasure hunt and candy relay race all in one.

On the mental side is the Estimation Bowl, where children must guess the amount of candy the bowl contains.

Finally, though not exactly physical or mental, the Licorice Race is also popular, as teams race to eat an extra long piece of licorice. Could the future Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Champ be in training at your shindig?

Kids over 8 years old also have some great age-appropriate games to play at candy themed parties. Musical Dares is an updated twist on musical chairs but with a dare to eat a gross candy if left chairless. There are also the games Name that Candy, a Warhead Contest and an Atomic Fireball Contest.

Once the crafts are completed and the games have been played, it is time to bring on the sweet treats. Sure, there is the traditional birthday cake and ice cream, but parents who want their child's birthday party to be the one the kids will talk about all year long can take things up a notch with something really special. Carnival style cotton candy or vintage popcorn machines are always popular options to add some nostalgia to any party. Or, for a more Willy Wonka themed take, a Chocolate Waterfall provides a multi-tiered magical chocolate river of dark, milk or Belgian varieties for guests to dip pretzels or marshmallow skewers in.

Parents who want a more traditional dessert element for their candy themed party have some excellent choices with a Dessert Buffet of rice krispy treats, cupcakes, cookies, brownies and fudge, or an Ice Cream Sundae Bar, where guests can create their own sundaes. They can also opt to have a Candy Bar on the Go where guests can mix and match their favorites for a party favor that everyone will love.

Candy themed parties are simple to plan and even easier to host, as no matter what a person's age is, the appeal of the sweet stuff is universal. All is takes is a little Willy Wonka-like imagination to put together a candy themed party that will be a hit with guests young and old.

Best-Selling American Cereals and Breakfasts in the UK

!±8± Best-Selling American Cereals and Breakfasts in the UK

The amount of American food and drink you can now get hold of in the UK is growing by the day, not least in the area of breakfast cereals. Any British person who watches American TV shows, soaps, sitcoms and movies will know of at least one brand of American breakfast cereal. And now they can find out what it tastes like by buying it from online American food retailers that have appeared in recent years.

So what is available and what is popular? A quick Google search for "American breakfast cereals" will give you a list of online sellers that you can take a look at. Here's a list of what appear to be the most popular and best-selling American cereals in the UK at the moment.

1) Lucky Charms

One of the most famous cereals in the world, most people are aware of the tagline "They're after me Lucky Charms!", as the leprechaun (called, of course, Lucky) from the advert says. Lucky Charms are basically frosted oats and coloured marshmallows in the shape of hearts, moons, pots of gold and other things you would associate with a leprechaun. It's not as unhealthy as it sounds either, containing 12 vitamins and providing a good source of calcium.

2) Froot Loops

Another big name cereal, this time from the world famous Kellogg's. This multi-grain cereal is flavoured with multiple fruit flavourings and is advertised by Toucan Sam. It's a long standing cereal in the States and there's also a marshmallow version! You may already be aware of Froot Loops and have wanted to try them. Now you can.

3) Reeses Puffs

This one is probably an acquired taste. Why? Because it comes from Hershey, the makers of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and yes, it contains peanut butter! Actually it is a combination of corn puffs in Hershey's cocoa and Reeses' peanut butter flavour. A favourite with the Americans for sure, and becoming increasingly popular in the UK. Only the USA would consider having peanut butter with breakfast, but these are the same people that have it with jam on sandwiches!

4) Pop Tarts

Yes, you've been able to get Kellogg's Pop Tarts in the UK for quite a few years now, but they are nothing like the American version and they certainly don't come in the range of flavours available in the States. Just look at these - Cookies & Cream, Wild Grape, Strawberry Milkshake, Apple Strudel. The list is endless! Now that the American versions are available in the UK, you can try them all. The beauty of these is their convenience of course - just pop (hence the name) them in the toaster, wait a minute or two and they're done.

5) Pancakes

Ever fancied a proper breakfast of American pancakes with syrup? Well now you can have it. There are a range of authentic pancake mixes from a variety of manufacturers including Aunt Jemima, Bisquick and Mississippi Belle and each of them offer proper syrup to go with it.

Some of the mixes are even suitable for traditional US waffles too. Add some crispy bacon and you really are eating like an American.

Top Tips for a Springtime Baby Shower

!±8± Top Tips for a Springtime Baby Shower

Now that spring is here it's a great time to look at how to throw a beautiful spring baby shower. The grass is growing, the trees are blossoming, daffodils and bluebells fill the parks, woods and garden borders. There is something glorious about spring. It is a time for new beginnings and new life, so what better time to celebrate the impending arrival of a new baby?

Here are our top tips for throwing a springtime baby shower:
• Hold your baby shower outside. The weather has turned warmer and there is an abundance of beautiful flowers, the birds are singing and the luscious smell of fresh grass is in the air. A picnic lunch in the garden or local park or an afternoon tea in a posh hotel's garden grounds makes for a fantastic baby shower to lift everyone's spirits and throw off the winter blues. How about an Alice in Wonderland tea party or a teddy bear's picnic theme?

• Use the seasonal flowers within your theme or colour scheme. If you are expecting a boy - go for beautiful bluebells. If it's a girl how about some small bunches of beautiful pink cherry tree blossom. If the gender is unknown it's the easiest of all as sunny yellow daffodils are everywhere. Also look for elegant tulips and hyacinths in a variety of colours to co-ordinate with your chosen colour scheme. You can use the flowers as displays in vases, as buttonholes for each guest, as prize bouquets for game winners, as individual flowers tied to napkins or as place settings.

• Use trees, bushes and other outdoor plants and structures to help you decorate. You don't need walls or doors to make the venue look good. Coloured bunting looks especially good outside, strung between trees or fences and you can find it in pretty much any colour or pattern you want!

• Go for springtime treats within your food choices. Tiny cucumber sandwiches presented on a tiered cake stand, fresh salmon and buttery new potato & spring onion salad, and bowls of delicious plump strawberries & cream. If the baby shower is over the Easter period you could also include some little chocolate rice krispie nests with chocolate mini eggs on top.

• Tailor the baby shower games to the outdoors - team races such as dolly buggy obstacle racing are always fun and will bring out the school days competitiveness! Games that don't need lots of paper and pencils like baby shower family fortunes can be fun too.

• Springtime is all about new life so bring it into the theme - how about little lambs or hatching chicks? Use it in the tableware, on wrapping paper, in the food, on balloons, as nappy cake toppers, for guest favours and with soft toys or figurines around the buffet table.
