I had so much fun coming up with the favors and activities at the Hobbit party (see part 1 here) that at some point I just had to stop and say, "enough." It's not that anything I did was expensive, but you can only use so many favor ideas before it starts to get a little silly.

“I realize I’ve never shared this but I ordered a hobbit door wreath from @RadiationGhoul and I’m absolutely in love with it. It makes me so happy every time I see my door. ☺️”
The quest for the One Ring began on weekend in January at the house of a certain Hobbit. Decorated with giant Ents (paper trees) and a decal of a Middle Earth fellowship, the meal was a feast fit for a Dwarven King and Hobbit eleventy-first birthday party alike: Hobbit foods tend to be luxurious and abundant. We had a hoard of creatures coming over that ate even more than Hobbits; Teenagers! In preparation, we had treats from all over the Middle Earth. I have never bought into the idea that beautiful parties have to have a table covered with nothing but sweets. This meal spread was set out to please the eye but also to give the group of boys I had coming over something other than a sugar coma. We had lots of real food, (it definitely helped that Hobbit's only tolerate the very best food and drink!) and a few themed treats. And that's the way I like it. (I'll step off my soapbox now.) Menu: Egges (boiled eggs) 'Lifted' Carrots (carrots & ranch) Frodo's Fingers (pigs in a blanket) Gollum's Goodies (Swedish fish and gummy worms) HoneyCakes (mini coffee cakes) Bilbo's Berry Pies (mini pies) Lembas Bread (rice crispy treats in paper leaves) Sam's Po-Tay-To soup (potato soup) Grapes Cheese platter French bread "Lembas Bread! One bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man." -Legolas In the end, they were fed and ready to head into Middle Earth to find the One Ring. The activities were all in scavenger hunt style while searching for the next clue to defeat the hoard of orcs. The first set of trials were a walk through the dead marshes. They had to go through an obstacle course, and anyone who fell off of the obstacles they were grabbed by the dead. They had to start back at the beginning. "Careful now! Or Hobbits go down to join the Dead Ones, and light little candles of their own." - Golum The next part of the scavenger hunt was going through the tunnel to find a spiders egg. "It's the only way! Go in... or go back." - Golum The eggs were wrapped with several layers of clear packing tape and webbing and cotton batting. They had to break through all that to get to the egg (a extra large plastic egg) that had one of two things in it. Three eggs were filled with the light of Earendil, the elves favorite star, to help them get through the rest of the hunt: "I give you the light of Earendil, our most beloved star. May it give you light, when all other lights go out." - Galadril One egg was filled with baby spiders. Whoever ended up getting the spiders egg with the babies in it got wrapped up in 'webbing' by their fellowship... The next task in the scavenger hunt was to shoot the army of orcs that were about the cross the field of battle. As the kids lined up to shoot the arrows, some of the kids had never shot a bow before. So they got a mini lesson in archery as a party bonus! Then it was time to come back inside for the birthday-ing things. Like cake! The cake was a tribute to the hoard of gold that was held by Smaug, The Terrible. I tried to get the cake as close as I could to the style of this cover of The Hobbit. I took gold sequin candies and candy rocks and sugar gems to make the pile of riches at Smaug's feet. Little known secret about me: I don't like cake. So I do not bake cakes. This cake was two purchased cakes stacked on top of each other with some extra frosting, and then I decorated it. This trick saves me TONS of time! If there is a special request for a particular cake, sometimes I will bake it (like the rainbow cake for my daughter's rainbow party) but for the most part, this trick is my go-to for party cakes now. It's a big splash of party style that I don't have to work very hard for, and I'll take all the tricks for that I can get!
