Isabella's Wizard Of Oz Party!
Being an old American movie, this theme needed much preparation as supplies had to be purchased mainly from the US.
The movie holds huge sentiment to me. Growing up spending time with my Nan and cousins in Carnarvon for the school holidays for Vac Swim we used to be allowed to hire a weekly movie, my movie of choice for Week 1 was Wizard of Oz and my movie choice for Week 2, Wizard of Oz. My cousin had the same addiction with the movie Annie and I think my two male cousins would have destroyed those VCR tapes had they had the opportunity.
Overnight we put everything together we had collected to create a representation of the movie and I was proud of what we achieved.
THE FOOD:
Yellow Brick Road biscuits, Somewhere Over the Rainbow Cupcakes & Toto sandwiches
Red Apples, Tin Man Heart Lollypops and Ruby Red Cake Pops
THE CHARACTERS:
No Wizard of Oz Party would be complete without the characters from the movie! Enter our crazy family and that is achieved!
The Birthday Girl as Dorothy and Me (Mum) as the Wicked Witch of the West
Teresa as the Tin Man and Dad as the Lion
Middle Sis as Glinda and Baby Sis as Toto!

The Wicked Witch of the East, what remained of her after Dorothy's house landed on her.
THE CAKE:
To mix things up a bit due to the pretty backdrop for the party, we decided on a Witch Cake!
A double layer vanilla cake with green food colouring, topped with Black coloured Dream Whip and the best Wicked Witch ever!
A big thanks to Clorinda for making the amazing witch for me. You can find Clorinda on Facebook (Clorindas Creative Cakes). Located north of the river in Perth WA.
FAVOURITES:
I always sit down at night after the party and look through the pics and always find some real favourites from the day. Here are a few;
Everyone had left and we were still mucking about - love this pic of Isabella mucking around with her Dad.
Three of the Dorothy's getting loose with their fairy floss tongues poking out!
