Jungle party

Well the cake I decorated myself using fondant icing. I had someone bake it for me though cos I thought it would just be easier. This is my first time ever decorating a cake! It was quite a hit with the little ones, I'm guessing because of the bright colours!

The decorations against the walls (monkey/giraffe) I made myself.

And then I hung some animal soft toys up. 

I made a sign that greeted the guests "welome to the jungle"

stuck it on sticks and stuck it in the garden as well as animal

printed balloons! All the party supplies were very cute,

animal hats and masks, cups, plates etc I got from the internet.

For lunch I served marmite sandwiches cut out in animal

shapes and bananas for the monkeys!

I served toddler juice boxes which I called jungle juice!

And the sweeties were Zoo cookies, Flings, Jellies, marshmellows,

lollipops etc, mostly suitable for 1 year olds!

I live in NZ (but I'm South African) and the flings were a HUGE

hit with the Kiwi babies :)

I also hired some outdoor toys, like a slide, a ride on and

a ball pit to keep the little ones busy.

Bug party

The bug party was for a 1^st birthday celebration.
I painted bug scene setters

eg. A frog, snail, worms & ladybugs.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Also painted a little board that said “what are little boys made off”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I went with a blue, green & yellow colours for the theme.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I went with a blue, green & yellow to dress up the tables & chairs.

We had a number one balloon stand with blue,

green & yellow helium balloons.

I used cardboard boxes for the party packs & cut a square out

and added mesh in the inside.

I added the sweets &

little bugs on the outside as a finish.

cupcakes with little bugs on them.

The cake was in a shape of a number 1

and we added bugs to top of the cake.

Noddy Party 1st Birthday

Each friend got a Noddy hat, different colour from Noddy’s. I stayed in the colour scheme of; dark blue, light blue, red and yellow. So the party packs contained a Noddy hat, a noddy friend face mask that I downloaded from the Noddy page ,and soft sweeties. The party pack got a sticker on with each friends name which I also downloaded from the Noddy page. I bought some small round stickers at a party shop to fasten the paper bag at the back.

I made a tablecloth from light blue fabric with yellow felt circles. I used white paper plates and covered the white Polystyrene cups with colourful paper.


Made some ice-cream cone clowns to go with the cake.   

The cake is a normal chocolate cake, double layers. I decorated it with marzipan that I coloured with red and yellow food colouring, the Noddy on the cake I borrowed from someone. 

The Noddy car was made from fibreglass and can even move, my father-in-law made it; he specialises in fibreglass and metal.

 
 
 
 
It was such fun planning his bday, I had a blast!

Tweety en Sylvester

Uitnodiging - ek het dit gemaak met toiletrolletjies en melkbottels se doppies. Binne in was die uitnodiging, dis veronderstel om soos 'n bom te lyk. Sylvester en Tweety bom mekaar mos gereeld.

Ek het party blikke gemaak ipv emmertjies of sakke. Ek het ou formule melkblikke gespray in swart of geel, 'n prentjie van T&S opgeplak met contact, twee gaatjies weerskante geboor vir die lintjie wat as handvatsel dien en die blikke gevul met sappies, chippies, koekies, lekkertjies en nog vele meer.

Die ander fototjie wys maar net die gedekte plekkie van elke maatjie, ek het "placemats' gemaak deur prentjies van tweety en Sylvester te laat lamineer

 

die tafeltjie wat ons gemaak het van vrugte palette bo op mekaar te sit, (twee bo op mekaar, twee langsmekaar) en dit oorgetrek met 'n swart paslaken. Met al die blikke en place mats - wag vir die maters om op te daag..

die koek. 'n Tannie in Wolseley het die koek vir my gebak van 'n prentjie af. Ongelooflik mooi gewees en baie lekker gesmaak.
