Jamie's and Ethan's birthday

Our sweet boy Jamie's now four years old!  He loves spending hours doing craft, painting, colouring and is attracted to the colour yellow!  How I wish that packets of crayons and felt-tip markers come in single colours, so that we will not quickly run out of yellow!

Jamie was very lucky to share his birthday celebration with his good friend Ethan, who also turned four on the same month. Our craft-loving preschoolers opted for an art-themed party, with plaster painting as their main activity. The other side of the cake has Ethan's name on it, so that they appear to have their own separate cakes for photos (let me dig again for more photos and I'll post it soon).

Lightning Mcqueen Cake

For my son's 3rd birthday party, I wanted a car theme to show his love of wheels and speed.  Lighning Mcqueen, of course, is the best pick, because he is speed!

Noah's Ark Cake

This special cake was for my son's 2nd birthday. As you can see, two's the theme and everything's in pairs. This Ark is made of scuplted dark chocolate cake. I had so much fun carving and putting together the cake pieces. The most time-consuming bit in making this cake were cutting and 'nailing' the timber, and after more than 10 hours decorating this cake it was truly a labour of love for my wonderful son! Happy Birthday, Jamie!

Pocoyo Cake

Ely! Sleepy bird! Pocoyo! Pato! Loula! Master J loves all these characters, and in fact he’s as funny, cheeky, curious and gentle as Pocoyo! Short of time and just hours before the next-day party, I used a store-bought Sara-Lee pound cake. I quickly covered the cake in icing and assembled my handmade Pocoyo characters on top. I had the most fun making tiny sleepy bird. Happy 1st Birthday, my dearest!
