I remember so clearly that at this time last year, I was awaiting the arrival of my third child. As usual I was being OCD and had told baby that he/she must wait until after my girl's dancing concert (3 days before DD) to arrive. Baby #3 conformed slightly and an induction followed by emergency caesarean occured on the 22nd November 2011.
A year on and we have a walking One Year Old!
To celebrate this momentous occasion, we put together an Icecream Parlour themed birthday party!
Miss Milla proudly wore her Icecream Outfit - thanks to Tutu Prissy! (www.tutuprissy.com.au). The gorgeous icecream display was created by me, collecting pieces as the year progressed. A big thank you to Grandy who made these adorable fabric icecreams that I hung from the ceiling.
The centre focus for the table was a large photo print from Milla's 1st Birthday Smash the Cake Photo Session with Kelly from KAM Photography (www.kamimages.com.au)
I incorporated Milla's party theme into her Smash The Cake session to get gorgeous, original and precious photos that matched her party so well.
The table layout consisted of my Maxwell Williams Sundae bowls (given as a Christmas gift one year) filled with sundae toppers. I bought big tubs of icecream and lots of cones and let the kiddies all choose icecream flavour, topping, fillers etc.
Party food was all presented on the table for the kids to help themselves as they pleased. Cute little icecream cones were baked with cupcake mix and turned into Mr Whippy style softserve icecreams. We used Dream Whip for the icing. They looked super cute.
The cake was simple, yet looked amazing. A basic vanilla cake mix, two tiered cake topped with an upside down waffle cone and chocolate ganache...a mini version was also created for a special friend celebrating her 7th Birthday on the day of the party.
A special mention to Teresa, once again, I couldn't put these parties together without you. xxxx
And to my baby girl - Happy 1st Birthday Miss Milla!
