Lots of prep for Tristan's birthday. Many firsts in additon to his 12 months: first cake made (chocolate), first icing and first decoration were some of the highlights! It has been a bit of a military operation with party stuff taking up pretty much all evenings as soon as he goes to bed - that and tidying as the house is on the market!
We've now decided to only do parties every 2 years (or possibly pretend his birthday is on the 29th Feb so we only have to do them every 4 years!).
The invite:
Making the cake (do not disturb on pain of death)
The final product (Tristan had just smudged the 'A' on the red block but I redid for the party)
The cupcakes just incase the master cake wasn't so good (plus they went in the party bags)
