Today is my daughters birthday and since the schools require you buy pre-packaged or store bought items for birthday treats (and I'm anti store bought cupcakes!), I wanted to do something fun for today's class treat. A good friend gave me the idea of making sour cream containers (which name sounds silly, but if you've ever been to Wendy's for instance, and ordered a baked potato... they usually come with a pouch of sour cream, hence the name of this cute party favor!)
So, I bought the supplies and my sister and I made these beauts for my daughters first grade class!
What you'll need:
*Paper, preferably card stock
*Tacky tape (or any durable double sided tape)
*Paper cutter
*Paper crimper (is that what it's called?!)
the official "directions" we were following from
this site were a little different. They showed the smaller line of tape closer to the corner (almost meeting the vertical strip of tape), but we didn't like where the seam ended up, so... we moved it.
These were cut 5"x6", but you can make them any size you want, just as long as it fits in your paper crimper!
then they were filled with some of my daughters favorite treats
the bottom edges were crimped
The official
instructions say to seal the top as well, but we're dealing with first graders and I was fearful they wouldn't know how to open them, so I crimped the top, punched a hole, added a tag and a ribbon and voila...
THEY'RE DONE! Cute, huh?
What's the irony of this??? I didn't notice the name until I was about 3 away from being totally done! Yay for Abby paper!
Even though I copied this project almost 100% and had lots of help, I love feeling crafty!
I made this banner in Photoshop, printed it out on card stock,
The cupcake toppers were created in Photoshop, printed on card stock and taped onto candy sucker sticks. So easy and a perfect way to dress up a cupcake.
2 - 8 inch round cakes, frosted. 
Bake a chocolate cake. While the cake is baking, mix up a large package of chocolate pudding and let set in the fridge.
While cake is still warm - crumble the cake. Set aside 1/2 c. of the crumbled cake to sprinkle on top when done. (Sorry picture wouldn't rotate for me)
Put golden Oreos and regular Oreos in a zip lock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Mix Chocolate cake crumbs, pudding, crushed oreos, and gummy worms together to make "mud". Spoon into dump truck and onto "road". Sprinkle the top with remaining crumbs to make it look like fresh dirt.
We used a "shovel" to serve everyone.
THEY'RE DONE! Cute, huh?
I got mine from Target, here's a picture of what the pan looks like. In this cake I used 1 1/2 boxes of a cake mix and it took about 50+ minutes to bake. And if you are really good at cake decorating there are lots of cute ideas I have seen to decorate this cake.
