Cameron's 5th birthday- party decorations

This cake is one I saw in a magazine in April- immediately I knew I had to do this party! The cake is silver but it is hard to see in the picture. The silver dust didn't go on like it was supposed to ( I am pretty sure it needed to be airbrushed on but I didn't have an airbrush machine laying around the house!) Robots need special food-I even made the Chex Mix from scratch because the kind that you buy in a bag comes with the wrong kind of pretzel- I had to have straight ones for the 'bolts'


And they need special beverages too!


These are scraps of paper and toilet paper rolls to decorate the costumes that I have been building all week long!
And in the robot bag is whistle straws to 'oil' the robots


Here are the costumes. I made 13 of these suckers- I won't be upset if I never see boxes, aluminum foil, or duct tape ever again!



Also, I made the banner with cardstock and some robot stickers that I found at the dollar store.

This robot is as big as Cameron. It is pieces of cardboard wrapped in foil and glued onto poster boardThis is for pin the batter on the robotParty favors- nuts and bolts, an straw, whistle, pixie sticks, and a glow necklace
