The first little thing I wanted to share with you are some photos of my son's 2nd birthday party that I recently threw. We didn't have a big first birthday party for him so we wanted to make his 2nd birthday extra special.
I painted some wooden square blocks white and stamped a picture of a train (that I got from the $2 shop) on it. The wooden blocks were made by my Dad were left over from my sister’s wedding (which were used as candle stands).
The photo below is the cake that I did! I made the entire cake myself, I hired a number “2” tin from
a cakeshop and made a 4 tier layered spongecake. The layers were 3 different shades of blue
and one red layer. I iced the cake (with
my husband’s help) and made train tracks over the number 2, I also iced the
cake board, and put train tracks on the board. I modeled 2 trains with gumpaste
and put these trains on the tracks. I
also made a few other little decorations on the cake.
Here is my cake stand - a wooden train that I found on trademe and spray painted white. I was stoked to find this as it fitted the theme perfectly!
I was very surprised with myself that it all just came
together and worked so well, especially given that I am in no way a
professional in this area. It took
me a long time to plan and research
ideas, and did the whole thing on my own.
My guests were amazed that one person could actually do all of that. But I think anyone can accomplish something just like this or even better with a bit of planning. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars doing it, with the
right preparation anyone can do this!
Oh yes, and check me out in the lastest issue of the Treasures Magazine! xox
