Work in progress - Cupcake stand (Star wars)

Comments

  • Its finally my sons birthday :D well it will be at 6:34am but heyho!
    I still have the top to make for the stand which will take 5 mins, I have made up 45 party bags (even after the disaster with the original toy for the bags!) I have cooked 100 sausage rolls, 100 small sausages and sorted out the other bits and pieces .... I also have the rice paper to put on the cupcakes and OH is decorating the club! (he bought a 50ft screen with stars on today eek!)

    Tomorrow is a new day and a very busy one!
    Why am I still up at 12:05am ... my darling daughter isn't well (she always seems to be poorly on birthdays and easter!) so she is currently wandering round the living room screaming her little head off whilst OH is trying to calm her down! I can see it is going to be a long day! I might even go finish off the stand now!!! Pics will follow tomorrow hopefully after the party, depends on how tired I am and if I can get this little one to settle tomorrow night!

    Hope you have a great party Rusty, I'm sure everything will be fantastic in the end.

    Happy Birthday to the little man, and hope your little one get's better soon.

    Have loads of Fun

    I got all excited then and thought there were piccies!!

    :rotfl: Me too specialK

    Rusty, hoping all goes well and if it doesn't little ones don't notice anyway, food, sweets, cake, music, running around is all they worry about. No stressing now.
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR SON :j :j :j

    Can't believe your little cutie is screaming - she's so angelic - here's some :j :j :j for her too. Hope she's feeling better this morning.

    Can't wait to see these piccies;)
  • Hi guys thanks for the birthday wishes ... you will have to contain your excitement a little while longer as I have now finished the stand, decorated the cakes, made up all the other food, party bags and everything, all that is left to do is get the littlest one dressed and then we have to go and decorate the club (providing I can pull OH away from his computer!)
    Some pics to come later and knowing my OH there will probably be hundreds :)

    P.S my son absolutely loved all of his toys as when he got to school and said goodbye to me this morning he told me I was the best mummy ever and no one could be better than me :happyhear::happyhear:

    Anyway must dash there is :bdaycake: which needs eating :D

  • Thanks everyone, he had a fantastic day, and the best party in the world. We invited 40 and only 15 came but a couple of them were siblings of the children. I was amazed as the parents just left their children and they didn't even know me ... MIL said this was normal :o
    The children helped themselves to the cupcakes and everyone seemed to have a good time. OH forgot the camera so no pictures were taken at the party but we had a 50ft starry background and loads of black and silver balloons! it looked brilliant. I will put the cupcake stand together today and take a pic with a few of the left over cakes on it.
    Thanks to all :)
