| I made this cake with black icing and crumbled cookies for a DIRT ROAD race! |
 |
| Cherry tomatoes, er, TUH-MATERS! |
 |
| Luigi's Tires are the Best!! |
 |
| Red, yellow, and black ! |
 |
| I had planned on stacking the cakes, but it turned out that these tire-trimmed traffic light cakes were a better idea!!! |
 |
| Fillmore's fuel made with "real lemons," lemonade and soda... |
 |
| Traffic light cupcakes, Dirt Road cake, and red, yellow, and black Twizzlers (burnt rubber!) |
 |
| Kids played a "Collision of Worlds" car game (similar to Pin the Tail on the Donkey) |
 |
| I made the traffic construction cones with Styrofoam cups and orange duct tape (I bought the checkered toothpick flags). At first I was bummed that the duct tape was so wrinkly, but then perked up when I remembered that all the cones I see on the road are beat up like this anyway! |
 |
| Party favors for the boys |
 |
| Party favors for the girls |
 |
| Lemon notepads---true Cars 2 fans would get the "lemons" reference ;) |
 |
| I printed out the modest labels myself |
 |
| "Life is a Highway" |
 |
| I took these cool pictures from a library book, had them printed, added the details to create a postcard effect (similar to the closing credits of Cars 2) |
 |
| The birthday boy !! (That's a car sun "screen" I found in the garage as the backdrop) |
 |
| Stop, Slow, GO!!! |
 |
| Used my son's own car collection as party decor of course! |
 |
| My husband had the idea of using brand new car funnels (or whatever they are) to pour the "fuel" with style |
 |
| Pizza "imported" from Italy by Mama Topolino! |
 |
| In Cars 2, Mater thought the pistachio ice cream had "turned," but it was actually wasabi ! |
 |
| Crafts for the kids |
 |
| Ka-Chow!!!
It was so much fun to plan and host the party. My son wants another Cars party for his 4th party! Thanks for checking it out !!!
