The rubber ducky cake was made using the Wilton 3D duck pan. The bubbles were piped using a large round tip. To get the blue and white icing effect for the bubbles, I put a stripe of blue food dye up the side of the pastry bag and then filled it with white royal icing. As you pipe the colors will mix. The entire duck, including the eyes, were iced with butter cream icing.
The Favors:
When we threw this party, Julia had very few friends her own age. The age of most of the kids were 9 months to 6 years old, so I turned the dining room table into craft central and let the kids make whatever they could at their skill level. Each kid was given a metal pail and shovel that they could decorate with foam stickers, glitter glue, and rhinestones. I made foam birthday party hats and let the kids decorate those as well. The girls cone hats were turned into "princess hats" by gluing some tulle (mesh) netting from the hole on the top. I also found a bunch of used crayons and melted them into my silicone heart cupcake pan to make jumbo rainbow crayons. That was a surprisingly big hit across the entire age range.
