offTopic: Dessert for 4Yr Old B-Day

[babywings76]

My youngest turns 4 on Sunday. We're having a low-key birthday party for her that night. The next Saturday we are having the big family b-day party (celebrating all 4 kids at the same time since their b-days are all 2 weeks from each other). But for Sunday, we are inviting another family that we are friends with. And my sister, and my Dad just because they live close and it'll be nice to have them here. So, it's just dessert we're serving, I can't decide what to make.I'm not a cake decorator..at all. So I'm trying to decide if I should just buy a cake from the grocery store or if I should make something. Also, I don't mind making 2 things...one nice yummy treat (maybe a PC recipe) for us adults and then a cake for the kiddos. Any favorites? Any advice on something cute and simple I could do for my daughter?

Chocolate chip sensation is always a big hit for dessert with our family.

Make a trifle for the family and dirt cups for the kids with pudding, oreos smashed up and worms.

Cupcakes or cookies are perfect for wee little 4-yr-old hands.
More work in the beginning, but less cleanup later.

You should make the Barbie cake in the batter bowl, just use pink icing and you'll be good to go. Maybe a few flower shaped sugar stick on things to dress it up.

Then you can make anything you want for the adults.

Happy Birthday to her! Kiera turns 4 on Tuesday. We did her party today.

Thanks guys! It's been such a crazy couple of days. I just bought a strawberry cake mix and it's in the oven now. Tomorrow I'm going to stack them and frost them w/ cream cheese frosting. Put some sprinkles on and I also bought some of that pink frosting in a spray can so I can do some lettering and flowers along the border. Hope it won't be too bad.
