I set the table with a gingerbread house, and small cookie sheets for each guest. Around the gingerbread house, I spread out the sprinkles in some vintage tart tins that were my grandma's. I also made a bunting banner that said Bakery and some pretty printable for my frames. To add some pizazz to the decor, I took some ribbon and strung some muffin cups on them. I hung these on the ceiling! They were super cute!
The night before the party, I made some sugar cookie dough using a recipe from my mom's neighbor! These were amazing! The dough was soft enough for the kids to roll themselves, but firm enough to pick up. They weren't too sticky to roll and held up just beautifully! Another thing I did that I think made thing really great was to roll the dough in powdered sugar instead of flour. It seemed to help avoid that toughness that the dough gets after being rolled, and re-rolled, and re-rolled! The kids loved it and after rolling their dough, they cut out the cookies and placed them on their trays. Then it was time for the fun part~ Decorating the cookies! The kids were able to pick out the sprinkles they wanted and added them to the cut outs! Finally it was time to bake and eat! :) Yummy!
Now I know that you all would just love to have my printables as well for these adorable party things, so hear they are! Just click the link underneath to get to the page! Feel free to share a link to this post if you know someone else who would want them! After I printed these, I added some baking stickers that I thought were just too cute! Since they are only about a $1 a sheet, it was simple, inexpensive, and pretty addition!
Well there you have it! An awesome party with awesome fun! Plus it is fun and easy to do with kids! Cant beat that! If you use any of these idea, add a link in the comments to let me know how it went! I would love to hear about your favorite parties! Happy Baking!

Sugar Cookies
(Recipe from my mom's neighbor)
1-8oz. Block of Cream Cheese
3/4 cup Butter Softened
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 1/4 cup of Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
Cream together Cream Cheese, Butter, and Powdered Sugar in mixing bowl until blended. Add the flour and baking soda to butter mixture and blend! Cover and chill for 15-20 minutes (or overnight in my case). Take chilled dough and roll out to 1/4 in thickness on a powdered sugared surface. Place cut out cookies on a greased tray and bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
