Count on my kids to pick the most obscure birthday themes. Tamarin wanted a bad kitty birthday based on the
Bad Kitty Book Series
. I did the best I could.

The first picture book has always been a favorite of ours. It inspired the table decorations, penguin pizza, jellyfish jelly, insect ice cream (chocolate jimmies and gummy worms) and sardines. I used a
chocolate mold
to make cat prints and chocolate covered peanuts served as cat poop :) Black pom-poms for hair balls and an old table cloth torn up completed the bad kitty ambiance.
What cat wouldn't love a spilled milk bottle (The spilling was accidental actually. It turns out while food safe these bottles were not liquid competent.) With some hair bands from the dollar store, one piece of pink felt and $5 worth of black fleece I made enough tails and ears for everyone for right about $1 a kid.
I'm not sure if it topped last year's pirate party, but she was happy with it :) She also managed to wait a month before devouring the fondant bad kitty. I think that took incredible restraint on her part.
