Who is Shrek? The Shrek movies tell the stories and adventures of the lovable ogre Shrek, his beloved Princess Fiona, and his faithful sidekick known only as Donkey. These modern fairy tales appeal to both boys and girls and make a fun birthday party theme. Have fun with the characters, castles and dragons when you plan a Shrek birthday party. The Cake You can make your homemade Shrek cake with a Shrek character pan or make a sheet cake and use a fun Shrek cake topper like the one in the picture.
You could also make a mud cake which really just involves lots of crushed up oreo cookies. Then place a Shrek character atop the muddy mess. You can even add some green food gel to get a swampy, slimy look. Cupcakes Another fun idea is to make Shrek cupcakes. Just add a little green food coloring to your cupcake batter to make green cupcakes. Frost them in white and then drizzle them with green slime (green food gel). Use some Shrek cupcake picks as the final decoration. Favors Fill your favor boxes or bags with items like green slime, stickers, Shrek masks or a CD of the movie's music. Invites You can either buy ready-made invites or make your own unique Shrek invitations. Simply buy some green card stock and cut it out in the shape of Shrek's head. Use a glitter pen to write the guests' names on the front and put the party details on the back. Use wording like "We're having an "Ogre" of a party for ____'s Birthday!" Decorations Use streamers and balloons in orange, green and purple.
