Bake-It-Forward Party!

Wanna live on the wild side? Invite 16 kids over, bake about 5 dozen cookies, then of your own free will open numerous cans of frosting and sprinkles and set them to the task of decorating them! Yea that's a Bake-It-Forward cookie party for you! Wild and crazy sprinkles and smiles everywhere! It was so much fun I am going to do it two more times!


Shall we start with the aftermath? This was after I already started cleaning up the table. 

My friend Claudia writing the poem on the plates using a sharpie all the while with a kid on her hip. She wrote it in a spiral fyi :)


Bake-It-Forward poem...
On this plate is a special treat 
that was made with love for you too eat
it comes to you with one request
that with this plate you will feel blessed
and in return you'll bake something sweet
and pass it along to then repeat
so as you finsih this tasty snack
think of someone to whom you could give back.


                     What you need
1. Five rolls of store bought cookie dough
     (I baked them the night before)
2. Sprinkles, I bought some at Target in there dollar section it's a good amount of sprinkles too.
3. Four cans of frosting
4. White plates, one for each family
      (Cookies to share)
5. Paper plates, one for each family
    (cookies for them to take home and eat)
6. Sharpies, write on plates with sharpie and bake in oven set at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Not dishwasher safe, write that on your plate too, I have read different things on this but better to be safe then sorry, right?! I also put TheSIPproject.blogspot.com & Service Is Painless on the bottom of each plate. Some colors seem to fade too.
You can also have people coming bring some of the items to help you out.





Well I hope you enjoyed today's post! It's so much fun to think about where these 5 plates will end up through the years touching many hearts I hope.

Would love to hear about your Bake-It-Forward party or see a picture on The SIP project FaceBook page!

Cookie party!!!





oh...and I forgot to add M&M's to the list.

I had the paper plates for them to take cookies on to whoever they were going to drop them off to. 
I also had cute plates for them to put their cookies on to take home as their party favor.



We had a good time watching the kids decorate their cookies. Especially my niece Emma her cookie is the one pictured at the top. Most of the kids decorated quite a few cookies and I think she did 3 but with enough frosting for a dozen cookies. I wish I would have taken a group shot of them all decorating cookies but I was too busy talking it up with the other moms. There were just a few stragglers when I finally started taking pictures the rest were off playing.







My tired little two almost three year old Russel
(yes it's spelled with one L. We couldn't afford the other L ;)
He was exhausted and upset about everything. He dumped a whole jar of sprinkles on two of his cookies which made him really cry and then I gave him another jar of sprinkles and then he was content. He totally crashed hard about 30 minutes later. Cute little crazy boy.

























The kids had a blast and the moms had a good time chatting. An all around good time and an easy way to fit in a little service.
