We recently attended a morning birthday party that served the exact same things and it was great for the kids and parents. They used the donuts as the "cake" and just stacked them up and put on candles and then the kids each got one after singing happy birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907913 Thu, 09 Jan 2020 10:37:55 +0000 bhbee 2907913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: good point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907900 Thu, 09 Jan 2020 09:23:49 +0000 wrkbrk 2907900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Yummy menu! Just jumping in to say, have a cake. Cause if kids see donut holes next to fruit and nuggets they’re going to try to take them. Then you’d have to say no no those are for later and it doesn’t work out that well - I know because a friend did just this for her son and wishes she would have had the donuts PLUS a cake to bring out and sing with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907888 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 20:25:06 +0000 jhd 2907888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: that is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907887 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 20:18:41 +0000 HappyBaker 2907887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made a donut caterpillar for DS’s birthday and the kids went nuts for it, plus it was super easy and cheap! I just bought 2 dozen donuts, cut them in half and made 1 batch of green frosting for the grass, then stuck in pretzel rods for legs!</p> <p>ETA - we stuck candles and used it as the singing treat too!</p> <p>[attach=1530/20/q3tfn5.600x506.74D7A751-4932-4D5D-8C2D-B66C0240129E.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907884 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 19:44:02 +0000 lindseykaye 2907884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: so we had an earlier party for my DD in December and I had cake and donuts (3 dozen). It was so much! But we just sent folks home with donuts at the end :)</p> <p>For coffee you can also consider a big container of store bought cold brew.. We did this and it was nice but it may be much colder where you are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907880 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 19:15:14 +0000 cake2017 2907880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: great menu! I would add mini muffins, pretzels and or goldfish! </p> <p>I would do a cake too! I’m overkill for sure! I always want enough for parents and kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907879 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 18:58:50 +0000 SweetCaroline 2907879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: what if.you did just donut holes and a fancy, bigger.donut for the birthday boy? If it's chocolatey and has sprinkles and a candle, does that meet his cske specifications? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907878 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 18:38:33 +0000 bhbee 2907878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: it is so hard to get the amount right! I like the idea of just donut holes . . . seems like they would hold up well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907877 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 18:22:41 +0000 jhd 2907877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: haha my son would say the same. I would probably just do a cake and donut holes. I always feel like I have way too much food at parties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907876 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 17:44:25 +0000 bhbee 2907876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: good call on the creamer - dh drinks it black and I don’t drink it at all so we are likely to forget if I don’t write it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907875 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 17:42:12 +0000 bhbee 2907875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: of course I asked him and he says he really wants a big cake! I don’t mind too much though because I hardly ever bake </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907874 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 16:26:04 +0000 jhd 2907874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>+ 1 to what @lindseykaye: said. I would totally just make the donuts/donut holes the birthday cake unless your LO objects! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907871 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 15:51:25 +0000 lindseykaye 2907871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This looks awesome and like the perfect amount for a morning party. Something snacky and small like goldfish can't hurt, but I wouldnt' say it's necessary. Maybe add some creamer for the coffee box if you hadn't planned on it or if it doesn't come with.</p> <p>And yum to Chick-fil-A catering! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/morning-birthday-menu#post-2907869 Wed, 08 Jan 2020 15:06:59 +0000 bhbee 2907869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help me out here - I’ve done a morning party before but forgot what we had!</p> <p>I think we will have about 14 kids (mostly 4-5yo) and 18 adults. It’s at a Rec center with bounce houses so we can bring anything we want. </p> <p>I’m thinking:<br /> Fruit tray<br /> Chick fil a tray (the sandwich minis)<br /> Donuts and donut holes<br /> Juice boxes<br /> Water<br /> Coffee box from Starbucks </p> <p>Is that enough? Should we have some goldfish or something? Not looking to be fancy this time around :happy: </p> <p>And do I use the donuts as the singing-happy-birthday treat or make cupcakes also? I think I did make cupcakes last time but maybe that’s overkill?</p> <p>Thanks from my tired brain!! </p>
