In the end, I settled for some mini-cake bombs on a simple sheet cake. Mine was supposed to be paired with a brownie folder frosted tan with happy birthday message and “TOP SECRET” on it, and I managed to botch my frosting there then not notice till it was on the cake, so that went to the trash too. The candle was also a let down, the Etsy listing missed that bit about it being for outdoor use only-but if your spy party is in summer rock on. I planned a donut hole for the top, and then a sparkler candle. If you have more patience and time than me, I bet it’ll be awesome. I bought a small soccer ball 3D cake pan and planned to make a large bomb out of it, but I ended up putting off cake baking until late the night before the party and by 3 am I was so frustrated with that cake I literally spiked it into my trash can (GOAL!). Now, I’m gonna admit here my original plan for this cake was supppper cool, and a complete failure. I scored the $2 deal at Fred Meyer with a 10% off toys, plus buy 1 get 1 on all toy guns.
Target had them when I was looking 3 for $6.99, but they were sold out. You might check other places online as well. – A dart gun-These I got local on sale-$2 each after coupons I was so proud of myself- but I have linked them here for convenience (4 for $17.99). – Spy Pens (write in ink only visible under a light in the back of the pen, 24 for $17.99) As a mom of four from Alaska, here, at least, it is way, way cheaper to get this sort of stuff off Amazon with a Prime membership, but if you live in less remote parts of our little planet, you might find these cheaper local, it’s worth a look.
I printed them on plain paper with a map on the back and stuck them into little yellow envelopes. Below were my invites I made (my info is removed of course, you can add yours using paint if you’d like to just steal this image). I’m notoriously cheap, and I couldn’t find pre-made invites anyway. It’s your own little one-stop guide for a spy-tactular birthday party-too far, I’m gonna pretend I didn’t just say that.įirst, I needed some invitations. So, if you catch yourself with a kid who wants a spy party, here were my ideas, how they’re implemented, and direct links to any supplies you might need. I ended up having to sort of hob-cob a party together from bits of crime party supplies among other things. When our about-to-be 6 year old requested a secret agent party, I thought sure, spy party, how hard could that be? I assumed much like his previous pirate party there would be tons of stuff for that sort of thing, being what kid doesn’t like to play spy? Surprisingly, I was pretty wrong.
