Frozen is the new Disney film that came out last winter, it’s full of snow and ice and a funny snowman….so you can imagine my joy when my daughter wanted a Frozen party for her birthday….in July! Not only that but one of the hottest Julys in my memory! Has it been hotter than 1976? ahem, yes I do remember that far back and my little leather look hotpants!
So, off to Pinterest I trotted and found a whole host of Frozen party ideas. Then I decided that I wasn’t clever enough/creative enough and decided to come up with my own ideas.
The cake I did find inspiration for, but I have been having a bit of a lost mojo moment with my cake decorating lately. I decided to make it easy on myself and grab my daughter an extra birthday present in the process and I bought the figures on Ebay. The cake itself was two tiers of chocolate deliciousness, you just can’t beat a moist chocolate cake. I was desperately trying to find a sugar thermometer that didn’t cost as much as the entire pack of figures so I could make the ‘ice’ but then my local cake shop man…Thanks Richard from Love Cake Supplies…gave me a great idea. I bought a bag of Foxes Glacier Mints and placed them on tin foil on a baking tray. I baked them at a medium temp and kept an eye on them until they melted, about 5 mins. They came out as a flat sheet of minty candy which I left to cool and then broke up to make into ice shards for my cake. So much easier than making your own sugar candy.
Boo told me she had a fantastic day, and we couldn’t have wished for nicer weather for a garden party.

I've never heard of instasnow, but it sounds great.
Love the glacier mints tip too. Would never have thought of that!
yes, I wouldn't have thought of the glacier mint tip either, it's all thanks to cake shop Richard, they made the cake smell nice too 🙂
Aww what a lovely party. I would have one of them myself. I love frozen
I love Frozen too, we did try playing the sound track while the children played, but next door decided to blast us out with their horrid music. Most unfair, we are still not talking to them.
This looks brilliant! And so special that the ideas were all yours. I think you don't given yourself enough credit here, the cake is amazing!
aww thanks, I've had plenty of party experience over the 26 years I've been a parent.
Looks like a really fun party! Your cake is amazing.. I bet your daughter was really pleased 🙂
Thanks, I feel I did cheat a little on the cake with buying the figures…but it was really delicious too and that was all my work 🙂
They look like they had really good fun. Mich x
they certainly did 🙂
This is so brilliant! I am going to have to steal some of your ideas for my daughter's next birthday I think. Thanks!

That would be great, I am sharing hoping that others will use my ideas, the bowling and snow went down a real treat the kids loved it.
Wow, such creative ideas! The cake looks fabulous and the Glacier Mints are a great idea. It must have been so magical for them to see the 'snow' falling. No wonder Boo had such an amazing day.
Thanks, it was all my big son's idea to sprinkle them with snow, pity I don' t have a brilliant camera because it looked pretty cool snowing on a baking hot summers day 🙂
Oh my! My three-year-old is such a Frozen fan too. She loves Elsa and her party is coming up! I absolutely love the "Making Olaf" and "Making Snow" activities 🙂 #PoCoLo
The Olaf activity was so simple but they really loved it, who'd have thought a group of hyperactive 7 year old's would enjoy glueing snowmen together at a party, but they did!
What a fantastic themed party. Frozen is SO big at the moment – D is constantly looking up the songs on you tube and singing along. What a great idea about the foxes glacier mints – i didn't realise they even still existed! Its also nice to use figures on cakes sometimes because then the kids get to keep them and play with them. I did that with peppa pig figures for J's 3rd birthday and we still have the figures.
My goodness you are SO creative and organised. It looks like a brilliant party and that cake is awesome! Well done 🙂 Thanks for linking to PoCoLo 🙂 x
we love Frozen here 🙂 you came up with some fab party ideas here and your cake is amazing!
thanks for allowing me to share this on my carnival (live from 12th) x
I am no more a kid but I honestly had so much fun when I decided to have a mini party of this theme with my sis and cousins. I just can't imagine how kids would go crazy to have such one too! I was searching for my Frozen Birthday Party ideas to add to my collection. I am thankful to come across this post. 🙂
God bless!
