Dr. Oetker Shakers for Birthday Events
by Chris Padgett on May.26, 2009, under Favorite Blog
The fine people that make Dr. Oetker’s Shakers are doing a good job at bringing smiles to the faces of kids. Their products are great fun for those that like to find their self in the kitchen baking up something yummy to eat. I have twin 4 year old nephews that are all the time trying to get into something. You can imagine the fun they had when I showed them one of these cool shakers. They both like go grab or hold onto things and in this case, they both wanted to do some shaking. You can find several varieties of shakers from Dr. Oetker and you might want to pick up some before your next birthday party you do for the kids.
This product is really simple and easy-to-use. I like taking sprinkles and chocolate chips and mixing them up or shaking them together and spreading over a birthday cake. This was the original idea I had for the cake and thought this would work well on cupcakes too. If you noticed I said “original” because the plan did change a bit. The twins decided they wanted to try their own combinations of food and we made some interesting combinations on their birthday. I know the candies like M&M’s and Skittles found their way into our creative combinations and sometimes we didn’t even shake our creations on the cake. Instead we just ate the mixed up creations on the spot and they both loved it. This is a fun and affordable way to do something a little different on the birthdays you gear up for. Sometimes we don’t have to spend a lot of money on food and decorations, because the fun can sometimes be found in the simplest things. These shakers were easy and fun and I may have to do this idea again on their next birthday.
I believe they are 10 different types of Dr. Oetker Shaker products you can buy in the store. We created our own combinations and you can too or just stay with the original idea of the shaker you buy.
