Oliver's Emergency Services 5th Birthday Party !

{ Oliver and Lachlan with the sign }

It was party day on Saturday, Oliver turned 5 and we celebrated with family and friends. The theme for the party was "Emergency Services". We had a fabulous sign out the front so all the guests knew where to go for the party.

The weather was spectacular, so the party was held outside. A jumping castle provided hours of fun for the guests, with them finding little time to enjoy all of the goodies on the party table!

{ Some of the sweet treats }

The table consisted of smarties, mixed lollies, fruit sticks, chocolate cake pops, chocolate bars and vanilla cupcakes, along with the birthday cake.

{ The Cake }

The cake was deep, dark chocolate cake with milk chocolate ganache and fondant covering. The police car, ambulance, fire engine and buring building were hand modelled from modelling paste.

The colour theme of red, white and blue was a great one to use, with balloons and take home goodie bags fitting in perfectly.

 { The party fun }

The take home goodie bags consisted of lollies, sherbert sticks, a police whistle, bouncy ball and fire engine cookie.

Oliver had a wonderful afternoon, celebrating with all of his favourite people.

After a mammoth weekend of partying and cakes, I am enjoying a little rest this week, although we are busy with end of term events at school! I have lot's of cake photo's to share with you all over the coming days.

Enjoy your week :)

A Sneak Peek - Oliver's 5th Birthday Party!

It is all about the emergency services in this house at the moment, I am in the midst of putting all the finishing touches together for Oliver's 5th Birthday Party on Saturday.

His birthday t-shirt arrived in the post today, it was custom made by Naomi (Taylored4baby), and is fabulous. I am keeping it as a surprise for him, he will be very excited to see it on Saturday!

I have just finished wrapping the chocolate bars and labeling them with a fire engine motif. (I apologise for the terrible photo's, it is late and I took them on my iphone!)

I have quite a long to do list, but tomorrow will see police hat's being made, cookies baked, ribbon being attached to lolly jars. Along with this I will be decorating a couple of other fun cakes. Never a dull moment in our house :)

Enjoy the rest of the week.
