One look at the picture and it would be clear that the theme of the party is blue polka dots! I love polka dots in all sizes and colours! They are whimsical and childlike but at the same time, oh-so sophisticated.
K's first birthday celebration took place at the Botanic Gardens on a Sunday. Mummy and Daddy K put in a lot of effort to organise a lovely afternoon for all the guests. There were little beautiful handmade windmills, nostalgic toys for the children to play with and a bunch of colourful balloons which my son had accidentally released into the sky. That was quite a hilarious incident!
I was not sure about the birthday boy, but I was sure that Mummy K, my colleague loves polka dots and elephant! :) I made this little blue elephant out of marzipan and due to our hot and humid weather, the elephant has spent a couple of nights with me in my air-conditioned room. In line with the theme of the party, I made the polka dot cupcake stand and loved it so much, I wanted to make the same thing, except in pink polka dot for my girl's first birthday.
Like I mentioned earlier, the most simple flavours are always the most popular. For K's birthday, I made chocolate, raspberry and Nutella cakes, and decorated the chocolate ones with my favourite marzipan bumble bees.
That's the birthday boy in orange and white stripes. He was a wee bit grumpy that day as I guess he was not familiar with most of the people around him.
Happy Birthday K! I hope you grow up strong, healthy and happy! :)
