Crazy Shake Birthday Party

Get ready for the sweetest, most colorful, epic party theme ever! Have you ever gone to a restaurant or bakery and experienced the “crazy shake” phenomenon? I’m not even sure if that’s the official term for them, but they’re basically an over the top, sugary pile of goodness in a cup! Usually served as a milk shake, but sometimes served on top of ice cream or cake. The basic requirements are sugar upon sugar.

My sister recently put together the most amazing, crazy shake theme party for my niece. The proof is in this video and the pictures below. See for yourself!

What to Do

Have your kids frost around the rims of their cups first and roll them in sprinkles. Then, fill cups with either ice cream or milkshake. The first thing on top should be your cotton candy. After that, it’s up to you! We attached cupcakes to the ends of straws and poked them down into the ice cream.

Tip: put frosting on the end of your straw before poking it into the cupcake. It will stay better!
