Candies

We celebrated our second daughter's birthday in May. The theme for the party was "Candies". We planned hard to have everything in alignment to the theme.

* Made candies in different / shapes and sizes for decoration

* Made a Candyland game (blocks) for the guests

* Made a Cookie house

* Made giant Lollypops and gumballs

* Made Giant Ice cream cones

* Made candy Table center pieces

* Return gifts to ladies - Raisin candies wrapped in glass bottle

* Return gifts to kids - Books (this could very well have been candies ... but the prize as part of Candyland game was candy)

The food was catered. Menu was Nav Ratan Korma, Baingan Bhartha, Naan, Veggie Biryani, Raitha, Veg Pakora, Curd rice. We had special items planned for the kids ... like pop corn, Peanut butter / Jelly Sandwich, Cone ice creams (3 flavors).

The only hitch was end was May still proved chilly and windy. Our efforts would have been fruitful had it been a warm sunny day ... but alas. But the birthday girl had a blast ... and to me that was the most satisfactory part.

Some of the candies we had mimicked were:

* Ferrero Rocher

* Ghirardelli

* Nestle

* Hershey's

* Lindt

* Eclair

* Crunch

* Rocky Mountain

* Skittle

* Chocolate Orange

* Mounds

* Almond Joy

The guests were asked to list down the candies they saw around and point out any spelling mistakes :) It was fun watching teenager / pre-teens out do their parents :)
