My 7 year old wanted a ninjago party! His birthday is right after Christmas, so doing his party on a budget is always a must. This party proved to be very simple and budget friendly.
First up: Black, yellow, red, aqua blue, and green streamers. I used strips of duck tape to do sections of streams. Much faster and easier to put up than doing it a single streamer at a time. I used simple green balloon. Originally I was going to decorate each one with a Ninjago face, but the printer decided not to work so I scrapped that. Actually, the non working printer caused me to scrap a lot of my ideas for this party. Oh, well!
Next, lets look at the cake and the table decorations.

And the birthday boy!
Here is the scoop on the cake:
1. I used a round spring form cake pan to bake it. I did this because I couldn't find my other round cake pan. Let me tell you, I loved the spring form. It was so easy to remove the cake without any... well accidents. It was easier to frost.
2. I used canned frosting and tinted it green. I was going to use fondant but I got lazy. Imagine that.
3. I cut a template for the mask and placed it on the middle of the cake. I did a great job getting it right in the middle didn't I? Oh well, it is just a cake! Then I spread the frosting over the template and cake. Then I pulled up the frosted template and tossed it. ( I may have licked it.)
4. I used yellow tinted icing to do the mask, outlined it with black frosting from a tube. Then I freehanded the eyes. I did practice drawing them a lot before I did this.
5. I decided to press sprinkles around the sides of the cake. I have see this online. It looked easy. It was not and it was messy.
