How to make Curious George Party Cake

Are you planning a Curious George birthday party for your little one and curious to know how to prepare a yummy and beautiful birthday cake? I have a recipe to help you make an exotic and adorable peanut-butter monkey cake which is complete fun.

 Ingredients

1 package 1-layer sized chocolate cake mix

½ cup canned white frosting

2 tablespoon peanut butter

1 cup canned chocolate frosting

2 cups chocolate-flavor crisp rice cereal

2 chocolate kisses

1 purchased large, soft peanut butter cookie

1 banana

Lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350^o F. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions and bake in an 8x1 ½-inch round baking pan. Remove cake from pan and cool as directed on the package. Invert cake onto serving plate.
2. In a small bowl, stir together white frosting and peanut butter. Use the mixture to frost the top centre of the cake in the shape of a monkey face. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the chocolate frosting in a plastic bag and set it aside.

Frost the rest of the cake with remaining chocolate frosting and pat the cereal into the chocolate frosting only. Snip one small corner off the plastic bag and pipe in nose and mouth. Place two chocolate kisses pointed side down onto the face for the eyes.

3. Break the peanut butter cookie and place the halves on each side of the cake for ears. Before serving, peel a banana and brush the peel with lemon juice to prevent browning. Place the peel on plate above the monkey head.

Makes 8 servings.

This adorable peanut butter monkey cake will be loved by kids and adults alike. To team-up with the Curious George birthday party theme, you can purchase Curious George Birthday Supplies and have those little monkeys around your kid.

Luau Party Activities That Will Provide Ultimate Summertime Fun To Your Guests

For hosting a successful party, you need to think beyond the standard party aspects such as decorations and food. People, especially kids expect lots of fun and entertainment at parties and you, as a host, must plan some entertaining games and activities to keep them involved throughout the party. When kids are in a playful mood, they are least bothered about the decoration or food; all they want is fun. If you are planning a luau party for your child, these luau party games are sure to create a light, lively, and fun atmosphere. 

 

Limbo

No luau party would be complete without a limbo. To play this luau party game, you will need a rod or a stick. A curtain rod will also work. Choose two adults to hold the either ends of the pole. Have your guests put on the grass skirts and flower leis, turn on some Hawaiian music, and ask them to go under the pole by only leaning and not crawling. Once the whole group has passed, lower the pole by a few inches. Anyone who loses his/her balance and falls down is out of the game. Keep repeating this process until you are left with just one player, who will be the winner.

 

Coconut bowling

Collect 10 empty 2 liter soda bottles and fill them half way with sand so that they stay still till they are bowled. To increase the excitement among kids, decorate the bottles by wrapping grass skirts around them. Arrange them as you would arrange the pins and ask the kids to knock them down using a real coconut. You may use a ball but a coconut will give the kids an authentic luau experience. In order to keep them motivated, award the winners by giving away some Luau Party Supplies. 

 

Hula dance 

 

Hire a dance instructor to teach some hula dance moves to your guests. Kids are sure to love this wonderful Luau party idea. Let them dance for a while and later, you may host a short hula dance competition among them. This will be a good change over the conventional patterned party games. If you have a small budget, you can play some hula dance videos and ask the kids to replicate them. 

 

Pass the hot coconut

Twist the conventional ‘pass the hot potato’ game and rename it as ‘pass the hot coconut’. Play some hula music, let the kids sit in a circle, and ask the kids to pass the coconuts around the circle. Whenever the music is stopped, the person holding the coconut will be out of the game.
