PARTY THEMES
Pizza Pros
Ages 3+
$225 base, 1 ½ hour party
Who doesn’t love pizza?! At this party, kids will have plenty of crust-shaping, sauce-spreading, cheese-sprinkling fun! Our birthday instructor will guide the group in creating individual pizzas, and creating cinnamon pretzels. Afterwards, everyone will decorate their own birthday cupcakes. This is a classic party that never goes out of style! Children ages 8 and up can make the pizza dough themselves. Pizza toppings for the group may be added for an additional charge.
Barnyard Birthday
Ages 3+
$225 base, 1 ½ hour party
We’re going hog-wild at the Barnyard Birthday! Kids make pigs in a blanket using pizza dough and hot dogs, create Farmer Bob Cinnamon Pretzels, and mix their own edible chicken icing. At the close of this party, we’ll decorate your own birthday cup cake. If your little one likes oinking and neighing, pick the barnyard party for a good time on the farm!
Gross-Out Party
Ages 7+
$225 base, 1 ½ hour party
This party is almost too gross to describe! Where else can you have delicious delicacies such as severed bloody popcorn fingers, egg eyeballs, bloody-banana ghosts, and create your own slimmy flubber? Why, a Gross-Out Party at Whole Foods Market, of course! After making these disgusting foods, we’ll finish up by decorating your very own birthday cupcakes.
Breakfast in Your PJs
Ages 7+
$250 base, 1 ½ hour party
We have something to get the kids out of bed in the morning: making breakfast with their friends at Whole Foods Market! During this party, we will prepare banana pancakes, cereal mix, and yogurt parfaits. All partygoers get to decorate there own birthday cupcake. Bring this party to the next level by encouraging attendees to show up in their pajamas!
Fiesta Feast
Ages 8+
$250 base, 1 ½ hour party
Say “Ole!” to this Fiesta-themed get-together! Kids will make cheese quesadillas with beans or chicken, guacamole served with chips, and Spanish-style rice. We suggest ice cream as the dessert to be served with cinnamon-sugar pretzels and decorated!
Spa Day
Ages 8+
$250 base, 1 hour and 30 minute party
Take a break to relax and pamper yourself at this Spa Party! Partygoers will make a refreshing milk bath, soothing bath salts, and a revitalizing perfume. As the kids create their own unique line of beauty products, they’ll eat our pizza oven pizza! To wrap up the day, we’ll decorate your very own birthday cupcake. Rather than the traditional goody bag, Spa Day attendees will take home the items created during the party.
Pasta Party
Ages 10+
$250 base, 1 hour and 45 minute party
Pasta making is simple once you learn the basics. Kids make their own pasta dough, roll it out, and then use our pasta cutter to form the linguine strings or bow tie. Our birthday instructor helps kids learn basic cooking skills while serving it with our own 365 marinara sauce. Beside the standard drink options, you can also choose to have sparkling Italian soda! When the pasta is all gone, have fun decorating a birthday cupcake.
