Jellyfish Entertainment

Our balloon art is intricate and fast. Your guests get to request anything they’d like us to make. We know hundreds of different designs and can make up new ones on the fly. Your birthday child also gets to choose a large balloon design that we pre-make and bring with us. It can be any design they’d like. We give them this awesome sculpture right when we get to your party.

We are also skilled face painters and can paint many different designs that your guests will love. They can choose between getting their face painted, their arm painted, or we even offer glitter tattoos that can last for up to a week.

Our show Reptile Viking is a hilariously educational show about reptiles that’s centered around a viking who’s been on a journey searching for dragons. They’ll get to experience 7 different animals up-close, ask questions, and even touch them! Who knows what Thormar the Viking will bring out next?

We deliver and do parties all over the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.

Kneady Lady Bakery

Local. Fresh. Personal.
At Kneady Lady Bakery, each and every sale genuinely excites our owners. This isn’t your average big box store. The owners take time to personalize each order, using creativity and passion in everything that’s created.

What's in a name? The Kneady Lady Bakery got its name from the owner's mom. While decorating cookies for her sister's baby shower, the owner apparently had too many requests. You see, Kneady Lady's owner goes all in when she bakes. Sometimes this means she ends up covered in fondant, flour, powdered sugar, or any number of other baking essentials. It's often easier to enlist help to grab the next tool she needs, but these requests led her mom to (jokingly) say "Sheesh you're needy!!" Coupled with the owner's passion for giving back, the Kneady Lady Bakery was born!

Kneady Lady Bakery is all about providing good food, for good. 5% of all proceeds are donated to a charity of the owner's choice (or the customer's choice if it's a large order). The charity changes from time to time, and suggestions for charities are always welcome!
