Tangled Desserts

Rapunzel wished desperately to leave her tower to see the floating lights that floated in the skyline every year on her birthday.  Considering the 18 years she spent trapped there, it most certainly needed to be represented at Georgia's Tangled party.

One tower-themed dessert were powdered Donettes on a stick.  I was trying to decide how large the cone tower needed to be so I tried Googling the size of Donettes.  Shockingly, I found nothing.  Who cares about the calories?  I want to decorate with em!  My poor children had to deal with eating a box of Donettes the week before the party so I could use some as models.  Poor things.

I ended up making a 4-inch circle, slit the circle, and formed the cone.  I used my hot glue gun to attach the cones to the stick.  Since I didn't want to fill the entire stick (the parents might kill me) with donuts, I tied a bow at the bottom of the third donut.

Santa worked hard last Christmas to find this out of stock tower for Georgia.  It doubled as cake stand for her party.  

I used my Cricut Cupcake Wrapper cartridge to make the purple crown wrappers.  I've found using the "Fit to Length" feature with the size set to 8-inches fits standard-sized cupcakes.

So what do you do if your mother-in-law isn't an amazing seamstress who will make you an appropriately-themed outfit for each birthday party?  You buy one on Etsy!  Here are my favorites:

It's a custom order, but I bet you could totally get one.

Tangled Party Hair Bows

When the princess is known for her hair, you definitely overlook the locks of your party guests. The pros over at Disney have a super cute tutorial for these rosette rubber bands.  Check it out here.

Since I have younger guests, I decided to hot glue the leaves to clips, rather than putting them on rubber bands.  I displayed them on a yellow yarn braid.

DIY Tangled Pinata


Rather than buying a generic princess pinata, I wanted to figure out how to make a Tangled pinata.  I love that the materials are mostly things I have at home already!
