My favourite way to celebrate a birthday is to keep it a simple little affair. Just the five of us. A cake was whipped up that day, complete with a quick icing and five minute, old golden book mini bunting. (I used this recipe, doubled, substituting a little of the butter with coconut oil) A few cards, a crown from the kids and a simple present was all that was really needed. Though, to be honest, it does go a little over their head at this age. Older brother and sister certainly enjoyed the little party though. And one day, I expect Miss Violet will very much enjoy looking over her birthday photos.
Thank you to all those lovely birthday wishes yesterday. You really made our day!
Too cute! Love the bunting flags x

I adore the cake with the bunting! It all looks so pretty, she is a lucky little girl to have such a creative mama. The little bird puzzle is very cute too.

ReplyDeleteSimple is best. Love the homemade cards - so I gather Muffin is her nickname? I adore the mini bunting. I'm sold on buntings - they are simple additions but just make it so festive!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a beautiful way to celebrate a first birthday. What a sweet and yummy looking cake, I love the bunting along the top. xo
