Slam dunk basketball party ideas!

You’ll make a slam dunk with these awesome basketball party ideas! I love the bright orange and black color scheme of a basketball party. Plus, this sounds kinda crazy, but you have to love a party theme where the focus is a round object. It makes the party food a snap! Think about it – cookies, cupcakes, cake balls, Oreos, Reese’s cups, etc. – ALL ROUND. Add lines with icing or a food safe marker and what have you got? Basketballs! : )
