On Saturday morning we had a small party for the boys - just our best friends and their kids - in total 12 kids.The theme were L the Lion and C the Crocodile - so Jungle-ish. But best told in pictures:
 |
| Crocodile cake - white hotmilk sponge cake with butter icing. |
 |
| Beautiful sugarpaste crocodile (and L's Lion) - a present from Shayne and the Yummy mummy cupcake foundry sent via speed post from Stutterheim nogals! - the plants are made of green fizzers and glitter gives the water effect |
 |
| L's lion cake - a chocolate cake with chocolate filling and butter icing on top. |
 |
| I made all the paper stuff - the festive flags in the previous picture, the names on the party packs and the centre piece and the "table cloths" featuring pictures to colour in. The centre piece was made using the Boys' Duplo zoo animals.The party packs were paper bags and the favors were the crocodile or lion clips (fridge magnets). |
 |
| Pizzas baked and back at the table - but the kids are playing! And the adults were heaving a hearty breakfast and watching a bit of World cup rugby | | | | | | | |

Looks like fun was had by all. What a great party (Shayne is so talented!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great party. LOVE the pics. And yes, Shayne is so very clever with stuff like this.x
ReplyDeleteStunning photos! Looks like such a lot of fun. And what cool cakes those are! Happy birthday to your 2 boys!
ReplyDeleteWhat a spectacular event! Wow, well done, I am always so impressed by the effort you go to. the finest details are amazing Cat!
ReplyDeleteOh you clever mom!! LOVE those cakes!! And wow at Shane's figures travelling so far!! Very very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI love the theme of the party! The cakes are awesome, and the pizza-making party is such a great idea. Glad the rain stopped just in time...looks like everyone had a great time!
ReplyDeleteAnd last, but certainly not least, Happy Birthday, C! Happy Birthday, L!
Looks like a great party! I hope you were able to sample both cakes, though I'm sure it was hard to cut them up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun party and I love all the treats. I am VERY curious how you made the table cloth as what parent wouldn't want one of those? I think it would be fun to duplicate for my annual gingerbread party for the kids.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lovely. Well done. I do love that Mikes Kitchen :)
ReplyDelete@b8cb4dd2c9bf58511c5d9ef046eefbc2 I made them in a CAD programme (Computer aided drafting) but you can do similar in photoshop . I saved some free colouring in pages from the wed and then printed them on A0 paper - for that you will have to find a large format printer - or your friendly architect or engineer friend who will have one in their office
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that the first letter of each child's name, was used for a theme on their cakes. So original.
ReplyDeleteGreat party.
I love the cake!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an awesome "intimate" party :)
Oh I LOVE it! All of it - the details, the jungle, the beautiful pics, YOU!
ReplyDeleteYour boys are blessed to have you as their mother :)
Who made the cakes? LOVE Shayne's little animals! I'm surprised they made it to Pta in such good shape - how does one pack things like that?
I didn't even notice that, M! You are so clever to see that :)
ReplyDelete@e0e489fc4ec6017f073ed0a9e8f2241a I made the cakes - I love to bake.
ReplyDeleteOkay, sweetie, next year you're making our cakes :)
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job. Those cakes are beautiful. Your kids are lucky to have such a talented Mom.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such a fun party!! Adorable cakes! Adorable kiddos!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the detail. I love the choice of cakes. This is the very reason why I love kiddies parties...just so glad I don't have to organize them anymore.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an awesome party!
