We awoke yesterday to the most glorious blue sky, speckled ever so slightly with fluffy, marshmallow clouds, a day that could not have been any more perfect for Jeremiah’s Kite Party.
It’s official, Jeremiah is One – there is no more 11 months, no more nearly One, the day has arrived and he is One. He looks suddenly older to me, but still as delicious as ever (I am his mumma after all!)
So to the Kite Party, what was I thinking - I started with Blue sky and lush green grass, added in outdoors flying kites, and outdoors in the park takes me to gingham, throw in some yummy treats and this is what I ended up with…Jeremiah’s Dessert Table!
Gorgeous little bottles of juice, Jars of Lollies (we had M&M’s, Bon Petite, Spearmint Leaves and Jelly Beans), Individual Milk Chocolates.
Homemade Vanilla Meringue, Little Jelly Pots, Fairy Floss
Vanilla Bean Kite Cookies, Vanilla Bean cupcakes, and the cutest cloud Marshmallows.
The cake!
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Caramel Popcorn.
After our Lunch and a serious sugar rush, the children donned their paint clothes and set about creating a masterpiece on the Kite kits I had purchased. A little drying time (mmm more time for some sugar) and then the kites were created. We live opposite an open reserve, the perfect place to test out each child’s new handiwork. They worked a treat. Children (and a few adults) were running in all directions, colourful kites were everywhere. It worked out the ideal finish to a wonderful day.
We couldn’t be happier with how the day turned out, and I must say Jeremiah enjoyed himself, especially his first ever taste of cake. I think he is hooked.
Details/Suppliers:-
Bottles – Santa Vittoria nectar bottles available from Woolworths
Straws – I actually brought mine in last year from America, but I have noticed that they are now becoming available throughout Australia. (e.g. Details, details)
Jars and Jelly pots - all my own, and most I have had for a while now.
Milk Chocolates – Cadbury Furry Friends that I wrapped (available from Woolworths)
Cake, cupcakes, Meringues and Cookies – Homemade
Little Cloud Marshmallows – found these in Coles.
Caramel popcorn stand – I bought these Frames at Christmas time last year from Domayne, and Joe replaced the glass etc with MDF for me and drilled 12 holes. We then gave it another coat of white paint so it all worked and added in legs we picked up from Bunnings. It works a treat. I also have plain MDF so that I can use them as a standard tray as well. I can also restore all the standard glass fittings and add a nice paper underneath to dress it up a little.
Kite kits – Air Wares.
Clouds and Gingham Kite I made.
