\nparty hats. We purchased plain hats and used a glue gun to add google eyes, pompom
\nnose and whiskers that we made from wax coated string found in the jewelry making
\ndepartment of our local craft store. The ears were just cut from sheets of paper with a tab
\nto glue on the hat and although you can not see it in the picture, we had ribbons for tails
\nout the back of our party hats.

\nholes but ended up looking like little rats on the cake, next time I might just add licorice tails to
\nthe cake. The rat heads that we used for our cake and rat cupcakes we just cut out on paper, used a
\nblack marker to put on the face and then laminated and cut them out with a tab to be able
\nto stick into the cake or cupcakes. My daughter then added more google eyes, but they
\nwere just as cute with little black eyes. The rat cupcakes were a HUGE hit at the kids
\nparty. The only thing we had to do for cupcakes was color the frosting and add licorice
\ntails. We made ratty snacks too! We used a variation of Suebee\u2019s Mix<\/a> (minus the dogfood\/lab blocks) so the kids had healthy food to eat at the party as well. We used healthy cereals, soy nuts, dried fruit, and sunflower seeds. The children loved to be picking through the snacks just the way the rats do.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/Misc\/rat%20birthday%20party\/cake2.jpg\")

\nnoses and whiskers to our party goers. To complete the look we found small pink feather
\nboas that we added as tails. Our ten little rat kids were adorable and in the mood to play!<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/Misc\/rat%20birthday%20party\/ratfaces.jpg\")

\nour Daughters 9 year birthday all at once. As you can see, even the boys liked the rat
