My younger son’s 3rd birthday fiesta fell into place at the last minute. His request was a “cow and horse” party. Doing a farm birthday party just didn’t seem to fit him and I didn’t want to repeat the cowboy theme which I had covered a few months prior with my older son’s Cowboy & Ninja Birthday Party. Then, it hit me. His zodiac sign is Taurus – the Bull. El Toro. Perfecto.

Cowboys, ninjas and corndogs. That was my son’s 5th birthday party request. For a while, he had sort of a dual personality – cowboy by day and ninja by night. So his birthday party request really did not come as a surprise except for the fact that I never anticipated having to blend horses, cowboys and ninjas into one party.

Deep, robust and richly rewarding. Just as Deschutes Brewery describes its Obsidian Stout you could describe these chocolate stout cupcakes in which the chocolate and espresso flavors from the stout beer pair perfectly with the decadent chocolate cake and fudge frosting.

Use your imagination to come up with fruits and veggies to dye the sugar. Spinach juice, carrot juice, and berry juices (all giving slightly different pink-purple hues) are just a few of the options.

There was no way we could make our rainbow smoothies without making rainbow popsicles. So, the rainbow fun continues with further proof that fruits and veggies can be oh so fun.
