So my “big girl” turned two in June… I racked my brain for just the right party theme for her. Should it be girly? Traditional like ballerina or princess? I’m sitting at my kitchen table making a ridiculously long list of party ideas all the while bobbing my head to the same two lines from a song “M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E…M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E…M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E”. It took me a little longer than it should to process that my daughter had managed to reach the tv remote I had laid out of reach for someone whose legs had not just shot up about an inch and was pressing the DVR skip back button repeatedly. After jumping up and rescuing the poor remote, it hit me…the one thing Aubrey loves more than anything…Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!! Much to the dread of my husband and myself, she will watch the same episode of MMC, OVER and OVER and OVER. So without further ado…Aubrey’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Birthday Party.
I made basically everything you see in this party by hand. From the cake all the way down to the treat bags. This was partially to prove to myself that I could and partially because I am a bit of a control freak… I have always been good with paper crafts, but baking a cake and doing fondant was a new venture for me…
Since Minnie mouse is her favorite I decided to go a Minnie Mouse Cake surrounded by mickey, Minnie, goofy, and Donald cupcakes…
The cupcakes were a big hit!!! I made pineapple carrot cake with white frosting for Donald and brown colored vanilla frosting for Goofy and chocolate with chocolate frosting for Mickey and Minnie…
I found awesome Mickey shaped bowls and hand plates at Target. Target always has such awesome random dishware!!!
I made the food with Mickey shapes and used food from the show. We ate hot dogs (a MMC staple), we had healthy (and a few unhealthy) snacks, we even had mickey shaped rolls!!!
To drink, we had…Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, of course!!! Watch later this week for this recipe (its Easy Peasy to make!!!)
I used the character designs to make drink tags so cups didn’t get mixed up…
Of course the party wouldn’t be complete without EARS…I made party hats for each character (Mickey Mouse Party Hat Tutorial later this week!!!)
Even the dog got in on the fun!!!
I made Mickey Mouse Favor bags for all her guests filled with bubbles and stickers and yummy Mickey treats…
She had such a great 2nd Birthday party…I love watching 2 yr olds interact with each other too. They are so funny at that age. If you like this party check out my Micky Mouse Clubhouse Party Decorations inspired by this party in my shop and check out the MMC Tutorials this week…See you REAL SOON!!!

Hi..im having a mickey clubhouse 1st bday party for my son,,ive ordered from etsy,,but im looking for downloads for mickey fonts..i want to make a sign saying “mickeys kitchen..any ideas would be appreciated,,Thanks, Monique
Good luck with your party…I don’t have any fonts for download, but you can probably find them somewhere on the internet.
I am planning a Mickey party for my son for his 2nd Birthday. I just googled party ideas and found your beautiful Mickey party ideas! You did an awesome job, very creative. I was just wondering how you made the favor bags? Were you able to find black bags and then just glue on the red and white? If you could let me know how you did this, I would really appreciate it! Thanks a million…
Jen Kline
The favor bags are SUPER easy…here is the tutorial: http://mimisdollhouse.com/tutorial-mickey-mouse-treat-bag/
Let me know if you need any help:)

Hola Nancy, donde vives?
es posible que yo te pueda dar una ayuda en español.
OMG awesome job…how did you do the cupcake stand?
Thanks, Jen!! I bought a round cardboard cupcake stand from http://www.cupcaketree.com
I covered the layers with different colored wrapping paper…its very easy and affordable and can match ANY party!!!
I just ordered your Mickey Mouse party pack for my sons 2nd birthday party in only one month!!!! : ) Let the planning begin!
What are the creations in the terra cotta pots? I am guessing it is big marshmallows but I love the pots and HAVE to find something to make to put in them!
Thank you for the great inspiration!
Thank you so much!!! The pots hold chocolate dipped marshmallows and strawberries. I dipped the marshmallows in red candy melts and then brown candy melts so they would look like Mickey. It was easy…but a little messy:)
WOW! Love it all! I found you on pintrest and just stumbled upon your web site. Do you have templates for the other hats, the cupcakes, and banner? Did you use card stock for the cupcake decoration? Can you share info about how to make that perfect cake too? My Amelia will be five next month. She loves the entire Mickey gang, so your party is perfect for her! Thank you!
Thanks Jennifer:) The template for all four hat designs is found here: http://mimisdollhouse.com/tutorial-mickey-mouse-clubhouse-party-hats/
I used cardstock and ribbon to make the cupcake toppers. I don’t have templates for the toppers and banner, but I do sell decorations inspired by this party: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MimisDollhouse/search?search_query=mickey+mouse&search_submit=&search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_6299694&shopname=MimisDollhouse
I made the cake using pink, white and brown fondant. I covered the cake with brown fondant and then added a pink stripe and polka dot pieces. The topper was made with cardstock and ribbon like the cupcake toppers.
Feel free to email me at holly@mimisdollhouse.com if you need any help with your party:)
I’m doing a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme for my son’s first birthday and I love the “mouskatreats” and “presents” banners you made! Do you have a tutorial and/or a printable for these?
Thank you so much:) I don’t have a tutorial for this banner, but I do sell similar banners in my shop. http://www.etsy.com/listing/79876971/ This banner can be adapted to read “Mouskatreats” or “presents”. Let me know if I can be of any help to you…
this is such a cute party! i love doing everything by yourself and steering clear of the traditional birthday in a bag stuff! My son wants a mickey mouse clubhouse party for his 3rd birthday and i have searched the world for the mickey dishware that target carried last year. is there any way you would be willing to sell it to us? thanks so much!
Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, I don’t have them available for sale. Good luck tracking them down…I would check sites like ebay periodically to see if they are put up for sale. Other than that…I don’t know where else you would be able to find them now:(
Thank you so much!
