Olivias 5th Shopkins party

Olivias Shopkins party was in a village hall local to us with a lovely park.
We used pool floats with stuck on eyes (I made and printed) as giant shopkins.
Instead of lunch boxes I found desk organisers in different colours. I also purchased a job lot of shopkins bags and baskets from ebay cheaply and filled with chocolate, crisps and fruit.
The cake was raspberry and vanilla barrel cake, and had 6 layers. The drip gave me hell as I used candy melts which Ive not used before and foolishly didn't practice before using. But, luckily being such a busy cake and for a young audience I don't think it looks too bad.
Again my family and friends were on hand to help scoot around with tidying up which I am very grateful for.
