Party Pics

Alright! So, everyone, here are the pictures that I promised. Hudson turned eight on the 8th of May, 2013. Mila turned six on the 19th of May, 2013. I love them both so much, they are very precious, smart, good-looking, creative and just wonderful. We had a party for them on the 15th of May, 2013. Here are the pictures. :) Sorry I didn't get very good ones...


^ That's the party table.


^ Mila's cake. Perrin made it - isn't it lovely? The roses are made out of white chocolate and the cake is fridge cake. It was DELICIOUS.


^ This is Hudson's cake, the one Mom and I made. To make the grass, we died coconut green and put it around the scorpion. We made the limbs and tail out of date ball batter (If you want to do the same, use any date ball batter recipe) and shaped them with our hands. The body, pincers and stingers are made out of chocolate bean cake, sugar-free, wheat-free and gluten-free, oh, and, yummy! Here's a link to the recipe.


^ Here's a close up of one of Perrin's wonderful roses. Doesn't it look so real and so beautiful?


^ This is the scorpion cake from a different angle.


^ I went in closer with the camera, to show you the fly that the scorpion is eating. Eww, I know! But Hudson, being a typical boy, liked it!



^ Lighting Mila's cake.


^ Lighting Hudson's cake.


^ Mila blowing her candles out. Such a pretty birthday girl!


^ And Hudson blowing out his candles. :D

We had so much fun! Mila and Hudson loved it. Thanks for reading!

    1. Hi Sarah! I say that they aren't really good photos because there was so much more opportunity and better angles for me to have shot at. Thanks for commenting!

  9. Super photos and delicious cakes. Yup, I'd vote for the roses as exquisite and very realistic. Please tell Perrin well done. But I'm sure the creative prize goes to the scorpion as that couldn't have been easy and yet looks very real too - even to the fly being eaten! That is above and beyond the call of duty for the cake makers but I'm sure Hudson was delighted. Well done, madame photographer too.
