How a party runs

  1. Arrival, ten minutes. Coats off, aprons on, hands washed, everybody at a bench.
  2. First make, forty minutes. Usually lollipops, because they work at every age.
  3. Cake and a sit down, twenty minutes. You bring the cake; we supply plates, cups and a knife.
  4. Second and third makes. Gummies and something dipped, depending on the package.
  5. Boxing up, ten minutes. Every child leaves with a box, labelled, and nothing forgotten under a bench.
