Like any other mischievous boys, my son too is obsessed with all things construction. Be it truck, bulldozer, digger... you name it. He can point it out and tell you exactly what they are within few seconds of passing by the road side. Though he has funny vocabs to identify these objects, e.g gogo for dump truck, but we know that he's always excited to see one.
So it's a no brainer when it comes to deciding the theme for his 2nd birthday party this year. Coordinating the colors of yellow, orange and black, I made sure all preparation is done a month earlier to avoid panic attack. I plan to stay within my budget by purchasing one party item at a time. Every detail was solely DIY - the construction signs (made out of used cardboards), birthday banner, garland and etc.
The party planner in me just can't wait to shine through. I even had a gantt chart to help me accomplish my target at the end of each week. Silly maybe but I'm so glad I did. I managed to get it all done without too much stress so I could focus on decorating the huge cake at the last stage of preparation week.
The party favor with matching construction theme. Contains sugar cookie, choc bar and oreo pop.
The party invites.
And finally the cake. The first ever 3D cake I made. My inaugural venture into cake sculpting/carving that I've been contemplating for so long but only have the courage to execute it until recently. I doubted myself so many times during the decorating process. But when it's finally done, I could hardly believe myself. I was so relieved having completed this cake.
The cupcake tier. With matching cupcake toppers that I designed myself :)
Sugar cookies with personalized cookie labels too.
The birthday boy with his dump truck cake.
Everyone had a blast. The party went well and everyone walked home with big smiles, lots of gifts and happy hearts. I was extremely exhausted from all the prep work that I had a slight fever the next day. But nothing makes me feel better than seeing happy faces of my loved ones during the party. And I won't trade it for anything else in the world.
Happy 2nd Birthday to my son, NAEL RASSUL. Love you always and be good :D
