Lego Star Wars Birthday Party

Remember my Lego Star Wars invitations?  Well the party was GREAT, and I’m FINALLY blogging about it.  It was SO much fun and turned out just great.  I didn’t quite get everything done I wanted to (I never do it seems) but at some point you always have to stop and go with what you’ve got! **update – find the Lego Star Wars printables here**

lego star wars millenium falcon cake and party food

Because our children attend a charter school (for kids on the autistic spectrum) over 20 mins away we’ve had bad luck getting guests to show up to our house for parties.  A lot of their schoolmates live in the other direction and sometimes even farther away than us.  So we decided that having another party at our house would be futile, and so I picked a park right next to the school and set the party date and time for just after school got out on a Thursday.  We ended up with about half the class so it worked out great!

I had fun laying out the food and the table but then just as it was time to take pictures the sun peeked out over the gap in the pavilion and lite up the table just WRONG!  So the pictures are all full of bright red reflections from the tablecloth, and shadows and bright lights.  No matter what I do I just can’t get good pictures to save my life of my pictures!  GAH!  Someday I’ll get it all right!

My favorite part of the overall decor was my Lego block carbonite Hans Solo!  No one else at the party was nerdy enough to appreciate it fully.  I cut it out of vinyl with my new Silhouette machine.  And I love love LOVED it!  And the first of my themed food…  Leia Rolls!  I opted not to put the frosting on the cinnamon rolls so you could see the roll design, I didn’t want to cover up what made them look like Leia’s hair!  On to the rest of the food!

You can also see my table layout.  Again, I’m still figuring out how to best get amazing, and pretty, party layouts.  Clearly I need to play with more height next time!  In fact I cut out the backdrop and the pendant banner I made because they just looked TERRIBLE!  Super high, with all this space between the table/food and them…  Bad bad BAD!

I had SO much fun coming up with food that fit the theme of our party!  Pixie sticks for Light Sabers was the obvious choice (that or candy dipped pretzels) but did you know that they are SUPER hard to find these days?  I went to 7 different stores!  SEVEN!  I choose to go with pixie sticks for speed, in the end it might’ve been faster to dip all the pretzel sticks in chocolate!  And Chocolate candy rocks for Space rocks!  All the images for the labels are from screen shots of the various Lego Star Wars games!  Some where harder to find good pictures of than others, so making the labels took DAYS longer than I thought it would.

The favorite food of the adults by FAR was my white chocolate Padme Popcorn!  Good thing I made a HUGE batch of it!  My favorite title is my Wookie Balls (get it?  No?  Well it’s funny…)!  Here is one of the area’s I ended up falling short.  My PLAN was to make homemade hostess coconut covered Snowballs , but in brown of course (get it?  Big brown coconut covered balls?  GET IT???).  I ended up just getting donuts holes, fast and easy, but not quite a fun.

lego star wars birthday party food and printables

MY favorite food to EAT was the Hoth Pops (if your not a big geek like me it’s the Snow covered planet!)!  I have to admit I’m not a cake ball fan (shhh don’t tell anyone) but I DO love oreo balls, so that’s what I made!  I covered them in white chocolate and, not that you can see them, edible sparkles (I was SO glad there was leftovers, I made about 50 and I probably ate HALF of them)!   Then I used chocolate gold coins for my Boba Fett Bounty!

I used Nerds candy for Space Dust, I kind of wished I could’ve found something less colorful, but they are the perfect size and so fun to eat!  And Sour Patch Kids for my Edible Ewoks.  These were the kids favorites.  I have a picture of one little boy with a plate FULL of these, about 1/2 an inch THICK.  And it wasn’t his first plateful!

I LOVED the Yoda Soda, it’s sprite and lime sherbert mixed together.  It is SUCH a lovely color, and I have to say it tasted pretty darn good.  One of my favorite parts of the party prep was my C-3PO H2O.  I had this idea to spray paint the water bottles Gold.  My husband said it wouldn’t work, but I had high hopes.  They turned out LOVELY!  Just lovely!  I am SO in love with these.  I think I’ll have more spray painted water bottles in the future!  They worked great, and of course when you take the lid off you have nice non-painted plastic for drinking.  My kids LOVED drinking the special GOLD water.  But my oldest did tell me I should have named it C-3PO oil, because he wouldn’t drink water- silly me!

And the centerpiece my Lego Millennium Falcon!  I kind of wish I’d had another hour to spend on this, but I always feel that way when it comes to my cakes.  They are NEVER good enough for me and my vision, but it’s recognizable, cute and the birthday boy loved it.  THAT’S what really matters in the end.  And of course it tasted GREAT!  He picked Strawberry, I am SO glad I finally have an AMAZING strawberry cake recipe.  It’s taken years, but I’m really in love with it now!

And the back of the cake…  The park was sunny and warm but we did have a wind come whipping through the pavilion where we were set up and I didn’t think we’d be able to pull off candles.  But with the help of my dad holding his jacket on one side and someone else holding a plate on the other we were able to get the candles to work JUST long enough for him to blow them out!

When you think six high functioning autistic kindergartners at a party you automatically think “how am I going to keep them occupied?”.  I knew by having the party at the park that would keep them occupied for a few mins, but these boys don’t have a long attention span.  SO I came up with some fun hands on crafts.

The first, and by FAR the most popular was decorating their own light sabers.  I went to my FAVORITE store (Home Depot) and bought some 9 ft long foam pipe covers.  I cut them down to 3 ft each and then covered the bottom 6 inches with some SHINY aluminum Duct Tape (not the brand duct tape, but tape for ducts…  Then I had Duct tape (the brand) in 4 different bright colors (red, yellow, green and blue) for the boys to decorate their own light sabers with!  At the beginning everyone went with one color, but after my dad created his own multi-colored light saber it was all the rage.  We soon had stripes, spirals, etc…

I used my Silhouette to create Lego Star Wars Temporary Tattoos for all the kids!  love love LOVE them!  The kids did too!  My son has been using up the extras over the last 2 weeks.  I’m down to my last 3, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have to make more once they are officially gone!

For a sit down craft, for the quieter attendee’s, I had Galaxy Play dough.  I found it on Pinterest a few weeks ago (LOVE that site) and thought it would be PERFECT!  I made homemade BLACK play dough (salt) and bought a ton of different colored glitter.  Then I let each child have a handful of the play dough and picking their own glitter colors (or some of EVERY color) they got to knead the glitter into the dough!  Then I had containers for them to take their new, shiny, galaxy play dough home with!

And of course it wouldn’t be one of my kids birthday’s without a homemade pinata.  I made a death star pinata!  Using a punch ball to get the perfectly round shape, and after a few layers cutting out a circle, filling the pinata, and putting the circle BACK on, but inverted I created a Death Star.  My mistake with this one?  I sprayed it with metallic silver paint and then when I went to draw a bunch of black detailed lines onto it with my sharpie it wouldn’t write!  GRRRRR!  It was so shiny and glossy the pen wouldn’t work on it!  So it was a pretty bland/plain pinata.  I should’ve gone with a matte grey…  NEXT TIME!

A HUGE treat for my sweet birthday boy is that his kindergarten teacher came too.  She is just amazing, I can’t sing her praises enough.  She had a class of 13 autistic boys all year (and it’s all day kindergarten) and she was absolutely incredible!  I love that she was right there playing light sabers with the boys the whole party.  I wish she was moving up every year with my sweet little boy, but alas, I have to leave her for the future kindergartners to love!  I can count on one hand the number of people that TRULY “get” and love my son, and she is one of them.

So a totally fun and successful party!  My parents ended up being in town and my sister and her family came too, so we had a great turnout, plenty of food and craft supplies and everyone had a great time.  Success!

      Thank you so much! It was a lot of work, but mostly because I decided just a week beforehand to do his birthday 2 weeks early while school was still in session. Next party I’m planning at LEAST a month in advance so it’s not quite so CRAZY! But oh so worth it!

        Hi, this looks amazing. I’ve been planning a Star Wars Party of my own for my little 5 year old boy and I’ve been trying to find a Star Wars font to make labels like that and was wondering where you found yours from. Please let me know as soon as possible. The party is this Sunday.

        Thanks so much!

        no, sorry, I would never sell copyright materials, I won’t risk my business and family finances with a lawsuit. I can email the printable file (you can print them on the silhouette tattoo paper and hand cut them out) but I can’t make and sell them.

    I am always amazed at the awesome birthday parties you throw! I used to do them all the time for my two oldest boys. But the two youngest prefer simple, like going bowling or golfing. I’m looking forward to doing some fun girl parties in a few years. 🙂

      thanks so much Kara! Last year I overdid it with 4 parties in one year, from now on it’s half one year half the next. But the two who had the small family parties this year were pretty bummed out. They love the parties as much as I do! I know that as they get older it will probably end, but I sure love it while I can! Girl parties are pretty darn fun! No need to wait a few years, I did 6 month parties when they were little… That’s only 4 months away!

I think I could share them if they were just the words, having the images on them causes problems. I’ll ask a few people that might know for advice

    You are truly an inspiration. I am throwing a lego star wars party later this month and I am so glad I stumbled upon your website. I am really struggling with the printables though. I finally found some lego star wars images, but I can’t seem to make them look right. Could I possibly buy use of your labels?

      because of copyright issues I can’t sell my labels with the pictures on them. I searched google images to get all my lego starwars images. Individually search each name, eg. lego star wars leia, etc… That’s how I got them all! Good luck and let me know if I can help in another way!

    Love your Millenium Falcon Cake, I made a very similar one last winter for my son’s Star Wars Party, except I used actual legos to emboss the fondant and it worked out well, but not quite as perfect as yours 🙂 your pictures look awesome.

    I love this whole party! My son is turning 5 in a couple weeks and this was the theme he had picked. I had no idea what to do, but you’ve helped so much. 2 questions: would you be willing to share the food labels you made? And second, how did you carve the legos in the fondant? I’ve been doing our cakes for a few years and I have no idea where to start with this! Thank for your great ideas!

      I’m glad you and your son like the party! It was a blast. I hope yours turns out as fun as ours did ! I really did throw it together in just under 2 weeks. Once it was over I thought of a few more fun food titles and ideas I could do, but I was really happy with how well it turned out!

      Like I told the other commentors because of copyright issues I can’t sell or share my labels with the images on them. BUT I’m happy to take the images off and send you the circles and ovals without any pictures and you can add your own. I got all of mine off google images. I used photoshop to put mine together so I can send you a photoshop version of my food labels or a Jpg file if you don’t have photoshop.

      For the legos I used a circle frosting tip around the right size (I think 8 maybe??? I don’t have my tips right next to me right now) and cut out all the circles and used clear vanilla to attach them to the squares and rectangles to make them look like legos. Does that help? All with fondant of course.

      Thanks so much, I’m glad you like the party! When you ask about the cake do you mean carving the shape? I just printed off pictures of the lego ship from different angles to help. I started by carving the shape out of an oval cake. Then I frosted it and added fondant. After that I dyed fondant a few more shades of grey, got out some red and just started with one item at a time, I did the top pieces first so they could dry, then I started adding the side detail work. Once I put on the dried roof pieces I just kept adding little details until it was time to leave for the party. I would have loved another hour or two to really get some more detail in, but oh well! If you have a more particular question I’m not answering let me know and I’ll try to go into more detail!

      I actually cleaned up an image of a carbonite lego hans solo in photoshop first, making it more black and white to help the tracing tool. THEN opened it in silhouette and played around with the trace tool… It was kind of a pain, but totally worth it!

    Love all your party details! I’m going to attempt to make the same cake you did, for my sons 4th bday next month. I’m new to the cake world so I was wondering how you did the cake part if you dont mind sharing. Is it all cake or part rice krispy treats? Did you use a circlular cake pan for the main part? Was it hard to get the fondant to mold around the curvatures? Anyway whatever you dont mind sharing when you get a minute would be greatly appreciated by this newbie.

    • Ashlee

      October 30, 2011 at 5:19 pm

      It’s all cake. I started with an OVAL cake. I hand drew a silhouette of the ship and cut it out of paper, then laid it over the oval cake and used that as my pattern to cut out the basic shape. Then using a knife I shaped the dome on top and around the windows and stuff… And the secret to getting the fondant to curve around easily is to use high quality fondant (not wilton) I love and use Satin Ice fondant. It’s the best I’ve EVER used, worth every penny. Let me know if you have any other questions! I’m happy to help. (always use a sharp serrated knife and I like to carve my cakes while slightly frozen, also I always work with really dense cakes for carving, NEVER a box mix, usually a form of pound cake)

I know this is a big ask and I really appreciate you even considering it. I work at a place where someone might be willing to help me add the images–if so they would use photshop. If not then I would have to muster with it and would need jpegs. Thank you! Cathy [email protected]

Just had our Lego Star Wars party yesterday, did celery and carrot sticks with ranch dressing at the bottom of the cup for light sabers and about 1/2 of the kids ate them – they didn’t pick up on their own – but when I said who wants light sabers they were in. I also did the edible ewoks as just the teddy grahams. Great party – great idea! If others have healthy star war options please post.

I’m a meat, carb and sugar eater, not so much into the veggies and other healthy stuff. But I’m glad you were able to find healthier ideas! I’m sure quite a few people would rather go that way!

I just pulled it out to try it again & saw these, too late to make them now, but I would love to hear some pointers on how to make them from the star wars clipart…my son flipped when he saw those on here. Totally will have to send you some pictures of our party after the weekend, hopefully we can pul it off. Seriously send some of your creative vibes to Texas for the weekend…if I was in Utah I would have totally invited to come to the party anc check it out…haha!

      Ah!! where in TX? We used to live in Houston and I used to live in Dallas! Have a great weekend! Did you see the downloads here http://ashleemarie.com/lego-star-wars-birthday-party-food-labels/? I’m emailing you my star wars tattoos right now, it’s probably too late, but just in case! Have a great party!

        Ashlee,

        I too am in awe of the temporary tattoos. My almost 4 year old son is autistic and after 1.5 years in therapy he is finally at the point where he wants to play with other children! He is head over heels for Star Wars, so that’s his partly theme this year. We are inviting friends this year and might even get to sing Happy Birthday! Is it possible to get a copy of the tattoos? This will be my second project on my Silhouette!

    Thank you so much for the information! My son is in the inclusion class at school and we invited the whole class to his star wars birthday party. It is nice to find some advice on how to keep everyone busy. I’m not sure what I am in for, but my son seems to really enjoy the kids in his class so we decided to invite everyone and I think almost everyone is coming too!!! Anyway, I was really happy to find this post because I now know that the ideas I have come up with should keep everyone happy.

      Good luck! I know that inviting the whole class is scary for anyone, let alone when you might not know how some of the kids will act or react! Good luck and I hope they all have a ball! My kids STILL love their light sabers and I just broke out the LAST of the galaxy playdough last week! Did you get the labels from my FB page as well?

    I love your ideas! My son too wants a lego star wars party this year. (: I was wondering what is your recipe for the white chocolate popcorn? Since no one else asked……I must be missing how easy it is. (: I looked all over your website and did not see it, but of course found so many more great ideas. You are very blessed with creativity! Thank you for sharing!

      I popped plain popcorn and spread it over a large cookie sheet, melted HIGH quality white chocolate candy melts, and pour it over the popcorn, stirring it while it cools! And other candy if you want, but it tends to be heavy and sink to the bottom

      April 30, 2012 at 11:55 am

      it doesn’t matter what size you start with, just carve the cake from that, so if your having a bigger party use a bigger oval, a smaller party a smaller oval. I honestly don’t remember!

    I am trying to come up with unique, yet creative ways for my son’s birthday next month. For the water bottles, did you just spray paint all over? What kind of paint did you use?

    Thanks so much!

      I did just spray paint them. I used gold metallic paint and did a few thin layers until I was happy with them!

    I love it and plan on doing this for my son’s 5th bday.Last year I did a Harry Potter one,and did the various food and treats in fun labeled bowls too-it was great! And on each disposable cup,I taped a label with a different named potion.(online-there are tons of different names for potions) No one got their drinks mixed up and it was a big hit!

      They are all made out of fondant. I rolled it out, cut it into circles, squares, rectangles, etc… then I used a round tip to cut out the circles and glue them with clear vanilla (or vodka) to the squares, etc…

        You are a genius! And a great mom. I am in awe of the effort and creativity you poured into the party. Being far lazier and less creative, I would love to download your cool labels. However, FB won’t let me have the link on Explorer because of an invalid security certificate for the link. FB on Chrome won’t let me have it because of an error/the file may have been moved. Could you please figure this out for me? Thanks in advance.

    I absolutely love your creative ideas! May I ask how you cut and piece together the cake to create the Millennium Falcom? Also, did you use paper mache to create the Death Star Pinata? Thanks so much!

    Reply
    • Ashlee

      November 15, 2013 at 11:44 pm

      yes the death star is paper mache.

      for the cake I baked an oval shape, then laid over a printed image of the millennium falcon (top down) and used it as a template. So it’s not pieced together, but cut from one cake. then I carved down the tapered edge around the top!

    Hi I love your ideas, creativity. I couldn’t go to FB link it was gone for any of labels. I was wondering though how you did the water bottles, I saw you used gold paint, was it a spray paint, if so what brand/kind? Any certain kind of brand of water, because I know water bottle companies don’t always have the same bottle texture. Thank you!
