We had such a blast at Chasen's Adventure party celebrating his 11th birthday. It was held at Valley Trails Ranch in Castaic. The kids LOVED climbing the rock wall.
Of course, the zip line rocked!
I gave all of the guests camo Outback hats.
In the mess hall, I covered the tables in black and camo fabric. I used tin cans for the candle holders. I also used camo bandanas tied with jute for the napkins and old pie tins for the plates.
The metal tiered stand from Pottery Barn held all of the cupcakes. I ended up making 2 different types-S'Mores and vanilla with buttercream. The S'more cupcakes were amazing! I highly recommend!
Didn't the cupcake picks turn out nice. They were designed by Abigail at Paper and Cake.
I used a chef's torch to toast the tops of the swiss meringue but a gas burner works well too!
The ranch supplied hot dogs, chips and "bug juice" and I brought tri-tip, salad and breadsticks. Most of the kids ate the tri-tip(sliced sirloin)!
After dinner and cupcakes, we headed down to the campfire to toast marshmallows and sing some songs.
You know how shy I am, so Sheridan and Chasen helped me sing the "Yogi Bear" song. The camp counselors had never heard it before and they really enjoyed it!
I can't believe they were still hungry!
The guests and birthday boy had a great time!
Until next time!
