We had our 10th year anniversary party last Saturday. About 25 people came to our party, out of about 35 invited. Only two deaf friends came, but most of the hearing adult friends were already skilled in sign language so I didn't feel left out at all. The atmosphere was chaotic because almost half of those who attended were kids.
We made cupcakes (most of them were made from scratch, nearly organic) and everyone had a choice of flavors for a cupcake - vanilla, chocolate, "colored" vanilla (food dyes), and chocolate cake mix. The frostings and the topings were DIY (Do It Yourself) and the partygoers had a choice of frosting - vanilla, mint chocolate, chocolate, and peanut butter-vanilla. All four frostings were made from scratch with my taste buds guiding the way for my wife. Then, they had to choose from the gamut of...TOPPINGS! All were store-bought - Reese's Cups all chopped up and blended, mini M & M's, mini chocolate chips, chocolate sprinkles, and colored sugar shakers (red, pink, green, yellow, purple, and blue).
I am sure we all had gained a minimum of 2 pounds by the time we woke up from our sugar-induced coma the next day. ;)
Some of the kids went NUTS on the choices...few of them piled upon just about everything on a cupcake. Hehe! Mercifully, this took place on a hardwood floor so it wasn't too hard to clean up all the spillovers from the kids' overindulgence.
The last of the partygoers left around 9:30 pm. The party was a smashing success - people LOVED the delicious cupcakes and most could not stop after just one. Some even asked for a recipe.

Garden of Egan - you know what? Many people brought their cameras but nobody took pictures! They were just all too caught up in the party. :)
Vodka Logic - thank you very much.

Shelle - come visit and she will make you a cupcake. ;)
Anjeny - I will post the recipes in the next post. Sorry there were no pictures to post.
-MissC - why don't YOU host a cupcake party? Be sure to do it on a type of floor that makes it easy for you to clean the mess off. As for your hubby, I will definitely take a look since I enjoy sports and video games. :)
LOL It is a reeally great idea! But My apt is too on the small side. But the idea has already been filed away for later use.
-MissC* - then you need to find a sucker to let you host the party. ;)
