Football is a great theme for a birthday, no matter how old your boy is - 3 years old or 30 years old
Decorating a football party is not difficult. The main thing is to stick to the primary colors: white, black and green. As additional options, you can add red, yellow and the colors of your favorite club. Balls, grass, jerseys with player numbers, boots, fan scarf, net, whistle... - use everything that you associate with this game. There are also a lot of options for a candy bar. Themed cupcakes, cake, cookies, cake pops and other sweets will appeal to young athletes.
CAKE
What is the most popular football cake? That's right, in the shape of a ball. Baking this dessert is easier than it seems.
First option. Bake the sponge cake in a special silicone mold in the shape of a soccer ball (you will find it in our online store in the “Everything for Confectioners” section).

Option two. If there is no mold, bake two hemispheres in a round bowl and then assemble the resulting cake into a cake. By the way, it’s convenient to assemble in the same bowl, having previously lined it with cling film.
Third option. If you don’t have a mold or bowl at hand, bake regular cake layers and assemble the cake so that the height is equal to the diameter. Then cut off all excess, forming a ball.
Cut out hexagons from white and black fondant and place them on the cake so that you get a soccer ball.

The cake can be simply in the shape of a ball or multi-tiered.
It is not necessary to make the dessert in the shape of a ball. For example, you can style a hemisphere or even a regular round cake as a ball. In this case, it is better to use a cream coating. Using the “Grass” nozzle, create a lawn around the perimeter of the cake, and make the hexagons on the ball “Open Star” of small diameter.

Another interesting option is a surprise cake. Bake regular round cakes and a hemisphere. When assembling, cut out the center so that you can fill the center of the dessert with various candies. Then decorate the cake. Read more about the technology of creating a surprise cake (or it is also called a piñata cake) in our master class.

Who said that football is a man's prerogative? Why not throw a soccer party for your little girl's birthday! In this case, feel free to add pink to the dessert.
In addition to the ball, the main treat of the holiday can be in the form of a T-shirt of your favorite player, a football field with mastic football players and goals, a number indicating the age of the birthday person, boots, a cup, etc.
To decorate such cakes, use painted gingerbread cookies, pictures printed on waffle or sugar paper, sugar figures or toppers.

FESTIVE DECORATION for a football birthday
The main colors for football-themed decoration are white and black; you can also additionally use green (the color of grass). You can also use the colors of the team for which the birthday person “roots” in the design.
Hang up posters of famous and favorite soccer players and soccer teams.
Use soccer balls in your design: make a composition of balls of different sizes or hang them. In the design you can use images of large (huge) size balls, for example, above a sweet table.

CUPCAKES
Another popular treat at children's parties is cupcakes. Many mothers prefer these desserts, because... they don’t need to be cut into portions, the cupcakes are comfortable to hold in your hands and there is less chance that the kids will get dirty in the cream.
Cupcakes can also be football cupcakes. For example, use the Grass attachment to make a lawn and add a mastic or gingerbread ball. You can also use toppers in the shape of a ball or football players.

Yellow card freeze
When a football player breaks the rules, he receives a “yellow card.” Playing this game means trying to avoid the dreaded yellow card.
To start the game, you need to choose one player who will be the judge. This player stands in the center of the field with a notepad with yellow sticky notes. We line up the remaining players in a line behind the goal line.
A whistle signals the start of the game. Note paper with a sticky layer, 100 sheets.
When the whistle blows, children must run from one goal line to the other. And at this time the judge is trying to stick yellow pieces of paper on the runners - on everyone he can catch up with.
The players, of course, dodge and run further.
When all players have reached the goal line, those who received yellow cards must cross the field again and this time try not to receive a yellow card.
The first player to receive two yellow cards becomes the new referee.
COOKIE
Hand-painted gingerbreads and cookies will not only take pride of place on the sweet table, but will also become an excellent gift. To create them you will need molds, icing, food coloring and a little imagination.
Round, square and rectangular cookies can be painted however you like. And if you use dough cuttings, you can get a cup, a football uniform and boots.

Invitations
The next step is to design the invitations. They can be made using a color printer. Here you can get a little creative and apply, for example, pieces of the flag of different countries around the perimeter. In the middle of the invitation, place a football or basketball ball, but in more muted colors (so that the written words are visible later). You can also place Olympic rings or medals there. They could roughly be written like this:
“On behalf of the head of the international sports association, we invite you (name and surname of the guest) to take part in the sports competitions that will be held (indicate the address and date of the celebration).”
A great idea for a birthday is a children's pajama party.
Aerial winners
This game combines the love of balloons with the game of football.
To play this game, blow up one balloon per player ( black and white balloons work best to match the football theme, but you can use any
).
Before the game, players form a large circle. After the whistle blows, players throw their balloons over their heads. When the balloons are flying down, players must only use their heads
to keep your ball in the air. As soon as the ball touches the ground, that player is out of the game. The last player with the ball in the air wins.
Football relay
Create an obstacle course on your soccer field or play area. Divide the children into two teams.
Players from one team go first. Start the timer. The first player must run and kick the ball into the field between all the obstacle points, then turn around and run in the opposite direction, return to his team and pass the ball to the next player. The next player does the same and play continues until everyone on the team has completed their turn.
Once one team has played, note the time it took them to complete the relay. The second team must try to beat the first team's record.
The cost of the thematic program is from 5500 rubles/hour.
The program is suitable for:
- - children's birthday from 5-11 years;
