It was very difficult getting him to smile! |
Here are some of the things I made.
Mini tomato, tortelini, mozzarella and basil "kebabs" |
Strawberries and marshmallows |
Cake Pops - these were surprisingly easy to make, but just time consuming. It's cake rolled into a ball dipped in white chocolate then decorated with various things. |
The theme of the party was Pocoyo as that's his favourite cartoon. Pocoyo is no longer shown on TV here in Australia but we watch it on YouTube... and yes, it's my favourite cartoon too! I had to order the decorations online from the US as I couldn't find Pocoyo themed anything here.
As for the cake, I'm very happy with the end result. I had it made at Cake Mania in Parramatta and I think they did a wonderful job of creating Pocoyo characters to sit atop the chocolate mud cake. Yummm... It cost $120 which seems a lot, but another lady had previously quoted me a price starting at $200 so I guess what I paid wasn't too bad.
Overall I think everyone had a great time. Luca enjoyed himself and loved hanging out with the other kids....
Opening presents was especially fun....
Until it started getting a bit too much....
But then he had his bottle...
And all was right with the world again...
Hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into our world :-)
Adorable! I love Pocoyo too, you and he have great taste in television ;p Looks like he had a very lovely and memorable birthday :)
ReplyDeleteI think some days I love Pocoyo more than he does, but whatever, he'll appreciate it when he grows up a bit more! :)

AW <3 looked like he had a lovely day! Afternoon tea is a great idea, cuts down on fancy catering and makes it easy for Luca :) x
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the point in fancy catering yet as he's too young to appreciate it! I'll save it for when he's old enough to understand and enjoy himself! xx
DeleteOh he's so cute! My daughter loved Pocoyo when she was little.
ReplyDeleteNawwww!!! Cute!!! Happy birthday, Luca :) xx
