Audrey's Second Birthday Party










I decided to do something special for Audrey's Birthday this year. I wanted something girly, but not too pink and I considered several themes, such as A Garden Tea Party, Vintage Circus and The Wizard of Oz. It was a combination of things that led me to Little Red Riding Hood. First, Alan came home from the Op-shop one Saturday with three beautiful pop-up books about Little Red. Second, I won a Woodland-package from Mon Tresor and third, I fell in love with The Princess and the Pirate's goodies.























Once I decided what to do, it wasn't that much work. I found a local cake supplier and she made the strawberry cake, the apple cake pops and the flower biscuits, exactly the way I had asked her to. The night before the party, I made the chocolate mousse (with Belgian chocolate, of course!) and Tommy made the jellies. We cut some strawberries and filled little cups with popcorn. Once we started putting things on the table, they sort of came together by themselves.




We made a little 'fill a bag'-station and poured lollies into small buckets and baskets. Tommy LOVED this and has already requested them for his party.
