This is a great tip!

I did this once and I KNOW it would have saved time…I just forgot about them on the day of the party! The mistake was saved, though, as I just had nice little premade scoops for my kids to snack on later in the week!

I love doing the bakery cupcakes too. For my first one I made an Elmo cake from the mold and after turning my guests teeth black from Elmo’s eyes and my carpet red with stains from Elmo’s fur I knew I had to change that idea. I love your ice cream idea. I am going to steal that one

Wow, what an awesome idea.

I so wish my kids could still eat ice cream (they are both highly allergic to dairy) just so I could do this for them. Especially since my oldest son’s birthday is coming up next week.

Thanks for the idea, I might just have to go pick up some sorbet!

That is a great idea – and one I’ll be using in the next couple of weeks!

Absolutely ingenious!

My tip is to skip the goody bag and simply have the kids do a craft during the party. For example, my daughter loves princesses, so we’ll be making princess wands and princess crowns out of foam. Voila! Instant party favors!

Great tip on the icecream! I’ve never served it at a party because I didn’t want to deal with just the problems you mentioned

Brilliant! I’m writing that one down for darling son’s first bday party – thanks for sharing!

What a great idea with the ice cream servings! I’ll try to remember that for my Toddler’s bday party next weekend.

Wow! What a great tip!! You could even keep them in the cupcake pan in the freezer to minimize the splaying of the liner! Of course, they are little, so I’d have to eat two. Or three.
