Help my son Upsherin is next week. I have not organized anything as I have been so busy with yomtov and my big family. I had no room in my freezer to cook in advance. what do I do? I only have a day if I want to bake/shop.
Last time I made an upsherin for $200 but it was summer vacation so my kids helped me bake. I cant afford more then $200 to spend on it.

For my oldest, I did a cake, rice krispy treats for those who can’t eat cake, fruit and chips and dip. It was 2-4pm so no one expected a meal. For my next one we skipped the party because it would not have been a good experience for him.

Salad, nuts, drinks, cake and nosh. You could also make cookie dough in advance and bake on the day to have fresh cookies.

Dunken Hines cakes are the best for this.
You can go to the dollar store and pick up some small toys to decorate with
For example, construction trucks on top of a layered cake (make 1 smaller and 1 larger, stacked) and then spread on the cake cookie crumbs to resemble dirt or sand.
OR-
Make a long sheet cake and decorate like a race track. Add small plastic cars on top.

Try to find candies that coordinate in colors and put in small glass containers.

Jello in the little plastic kiddush cups looks really pretty.

Popcorn set up in small baggies tied with curling ribbon.



If you must serve food, pasta can be done cheaply.
