Willy Wonka Party

I did a Willy Wonka themed party for my sons 7th birthday!!

I did all Willy Wonka candy: Giant pixy stixs, regular size pixy stixs, sweet tarts, nerds, gobstoppers, bottle caps, rope taffy, laffy taffy and water fall chocolate pieces. I found all my candy online at wholesale prices from: www.metrocandy.com and www.candywarehouse.com I bought the rest of my decorations and goody bag fillers from a local wholesale party store. I bought a roll of purple table cloth to cover all the tables, black top hats (for Willy Wonkas hat) to fill with party favors, squish golden eggs, round thick rimmed black glasses, glow sticks and mini purple bags for the kids to fill up with candy and favors to take home. I blew up balloons rolled them in different colored cellophane and tied the sides with ribbon to look like giant candies and hung them all around the house. I also took paper plates and wrapped them with colored cellophane tied with a ribbon with a wooden dowel rode from hobby lobby taped to it to look like giant lollipops. My son also dressed up as Willy Wonka... i bought the costume on amazon. For the cake i did a giant chocolate cupcake and for icing i did white chocolate... the white chocolate i poured over the cake to run down like a chocolate waterfall didnt quite turn out exactly how i wanted i poured the chocolate a little to early and hadnt let it cool. I also made a bunch of cake pops dipped in purple and green white chocolate and wrapped them in candy bags i got from hobby lobby. We also had a chocolate fountain and had marshmallows, rice krispies and cookies to dip.
