It looks like you did a beautiful job on Sophie's birthday I love the photos each month you stuck up on the black board, I so wish I had done something like this for the girls. And that cake is just so so beautiful, all of that work you put into making it can be seen.

For the food, I made homemade sausage rolls and zucchini slice the weekend before and froze them, towards the end of the week before the party I made a jelly cheesecake (the recipe for it is on my blog) and those little tarts you were asking about (I bought the tiny tart cases from Kitchen Warehouse at Cockburn Central. They were only around $14 for 48 and all I did was fill them with a white chocolate ganache... 150g chopped white chocolate and 1/3 cup of cream melted together... they can be made 2 days ahead and then topped with blueberries on the day of the party. You can also make your own tart cases from shortcrust pastry). The day before the party I made the cupcakes and birthday cake and on the morning of the party I made chocolate brownies and decorated the birthday cake. To make it easier, I bought some meatballs as well as some cocktail sausages for the kids, my Mum did my fruit platter and my mother-in-law did sandwiches. Any more questions just ask or email me :) Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697932926715802541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-82910275002911915792012-10-26T15:16:02.025+08:002012-10-26T15:16:02.025+08:00Just gorgeous Amanda.
