Need advice on this party idea.

I holding my DS's 5th birthday @ a children's museum for about 20 kids. I thinking of doing the worms and dirt desert for the kids:

and maybe one box cake decorated with plastic bugs and gummy worms. My kids don't like cake! So strange. I figure I can serve it in a large sand bucket (washed and sanitized ofcourse). Good idea? I've never made this before. Anyone have any ideas on how many kids this might feed? Seems like a lot of pudding and I know it would be super rich.

    I would make individual cups of dirt for each child.

    Good idea, any ideas for a serving container that isn't going to break the bank? I suppose I could do ind. sand buckets, but I don't know how I would keep the cold.

    Do your kids like brownies?  You could modify the dirt cupcake and make it on brownies or even large(ish) firm sugar cookies.  A little chocolate frosting, crushed cookies, worms and you won't have to worry about keeping them cold.

    I used tiny little terracotta pots that couldn't have been more than $1/each.  Got them from Home Depot.  And, I kept them in a fridge at home, then just put them in a cooler for the party, which was at a park.  They stayed cool enough.  I made 2 layers, with cardboard in between to stack them in the cooler.

    I make dirt cups quite often, and I alway use these small clear cups from Solo.  I just get them at the grocery store.  I like them because you can see all the layers, and they are the perfect serving size for one kid.
