a touch of creativity for a very special surprise birthday party

While discussing plans with Nina for our partners upcoming birthdays, the idea was born to throw a joint surprise costume party! George and Nick had known each other since primary school and shared many of the same friends so it seemed easier to throw one party rather than two. Or so we thought! With only three weeks to conspire and plan, we certainly had our work cut out for us. Looking at our growing 'to do' lists one would think the most difficult part would be organising and throwing the party, but in fact it wasn't. It was all of the lying and sneaking around! Nina and I constructed the biggest tangled web of lies and although there were a few close calls, I think we managed to surprise them both in the end. Despite the miserable weather and downpour Melbourne received on the day, the party was a huge success! Everyone made an amazing effort with their costumes and there were only a few sore heads the next day!  

So here's a sneak peek at some of the creative bits from the party...
 

An XR6 Turbo mud cake modeled on George's current car

An XY black forest cake modeled on one of Nick's previous cars

The detail in these cakes was astounding - from the mini ford badges on the XR6 to the 12 slots on the XY - Eiffel Tower Chocolates, Confectionery & Cakes in Tullamarine (Melbourne) did a phenomenal job. And they tasted great too!

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peak and perhaps gained some inspiration for your upcoming event. Love to you all...
