Best B’day Ever

Long planned and well prepared was today my birthday party. I have seen this funny pop-up cake stall on the internet and was eager to build one of my own. Wood and colours I got from the DIY store in the Netherlands and I am proud to be able to show it today. Fully loaded with cakes and stuff.

Pop-Up Cake Stall

I finished the cakes yesterday and the guests had to decide between caramel brownies, cherry-raspberry-coconut slices or leopard print cake or peanut butter or banofee pie or rhubarb streusel or three chocolate cake. Hmmm, I for myself love the cherry vanilla custard tart. Yummy sunday to you, too and thanks all of the friends for today’s visit. As I said: Best B’day ever.

Happy Pancake Birthday (to me)

Well, well, I am turning 46 today, and it seems like that it is gonna be the first birthday where I have to release my car from snow. but, I am always so so so happy on my birthday and the breakfast I had was worth while to take a picture to show it to you. The hubby made fresh pancakes for me and he presented them as a tower on the plate with the maple syrup dropping down…yummy! yes, the hubby knows what brings me in the good mood and I started my birthday with a stomach full of pancakes!

Vintage Birthday Party

Hello sunshine, this was the greatest, lazy sunday afternoon birthday party ever….so relaxed, easy going, enjoyable time with some friends and great cake buffet. When I searched for a nice idea for my birthday party, there were always blogs with this vintage fair birthday party theme and I loved it! In Germany we don’t have these kind of country fairs, so I tried to adopt the theme and built some other stuff around it. Most important thing for me is always the sweets & treats table (the empty spot on the upper right from the cake buffet is reserved for the cinnamon rolls – they were still in the oven). To get the country feeling I added some ponies and also ribbons patched on linen fabric to the table. Not to forget the homemade cherry lemonade in some vintage bottles with doily labeling. The surprisingly fantastic weather was enough reason to put everything out on the porch: cushions, blankets, even the decorated floor-lamp, ballons, the paper baubles, a Hello Kitty pinata, everything was set up outside… We did some crafty thing as well: I provided embroidery hoops, fabrics, lace and stuff and all ladies were sitting in the sun doing some needlework.
