She wanted a rainbow cake this year. So we made one. Just wait for it...the surprise is on the inside. She got to decorate the outside of the cake with food-markers, and it was some beautiful artwork: a rainbow and all her little friends, and lots of lovehearts.
The girls love baking, so we made up LOTS of candy and goodies for all of us to eat...mmmmm! Fruitpunch to drink...
...fairy-bread number five's, of course...
...a rainbow fruit platter...
...a porcupine-melon...
...and rainbow cupcakes...
...little rainbow-teddy cars...
...yummy yummy...we love birthdays ...and funny faces!
The girls helped me sew paper rainbow party-bags this year - they love my sewing machine! We printed them out on thick paper in rainbow colours, and personalised them with guest names, saying: Thank you for coming and making my party so much fun! Love Milla Then we stitched them into triangles.
We made lots of marshmallow-lollipops for the party table in all the colours of the rainbow and some chocolate lollipops too...yay, for sugar-rush!!
We were waiting for all the kids to arrive, and then we were going on a treasure hunt to see if we could find the gold at the end of the rainbow!
Our first hinder was to brave the spy-corridor...
...and at the end of the spy-corridor there was a clue...
'Under the lemon tree
is the place to be
when you save all the apples from drowning
under the water blue you will find the next clue'
...found the apples!!!
...next clue...
'Now...you will find a block of ice
if you look really hard with your eyes'
...found the ice! And there is a clue in there! Agnes is first...hammer, hammer, hammer...
...the clue inside the ice said...
'Put your hands in the air
and smash the waterbombs like you just don't care'
...splash...all the waterballoons were splished all around...
...even Samba got a splash or two...
...and the next clue read...
'Go down to the grey wall
and totally smash them all'
...after the balloon stomping we found another clue...
'The red brick wall is covered in white
grab a spray can and spray with all your might
when all is covered the next clue will be in sight!'
...yay! Let's paint all the colours of the rainbow!!
...and the last clue said...
'The rainbow is near
...wait, is that gold I can hear
let's go have a look...where is the rainbow??'
Found it! We had made a 'punch-box' where they had to stick their hands through paper to find some gold...
...mmmmm, gold chocolates!!! Lots of them! Hurra!!!
After the treasure hunt we dug into all the candy, and got pink lovehearts in our hair and rainbow fingernails.
We opened some presents, and wow were there lots of presents!!!
And finally CAKE TIME!!! Everone sang Happy Birtday to Milla and she had a sparkly number 5 on her cake to blow out.
...a rainbow cake for rainbow Milla...
Here is all of Milla's beautiful birthday cards and lovely presents!!! There were even presents travelling all the way from Norway to Australia! Thank you so much to Besta, gudmor Sissel, gudmor Elise and gudmor Merethe! Thank you everyone for your generosity and for making Milla's 5th birthday so special for her and us!
And after the party was over, we got a text message with a photo from Harry and Poppy:
Dear Milla. Thank you so much for inviting us to your party. We all had lots of fun. And guess what we have in front of our house at the moment - a rainbow. That's a bit special isn't it.
Love Harry and Poppy xxxx
What a lovely party! You did such a fantastic job Nina. I wish we could've been there to celebrate with Milla. I love the idea of the blank cake with the food colouring markers. I just might have to steal that one from you ;)
ReplyDeleteWish you were here too! The cake was a big success, gotta love pinterest - Milla was so curious to cut it open...! And it tasted good too. White chocolate mud cake...yummi!
ReplyDeleteI told Ava about Milla's party and she has decided that she's going to have a rainbow party this year too :) Apparently I have to make that cake for her. I imagine it's pretty time consuming but I guess at least there's no decorating to be done!
ReplyDeleteActually it wasn't time consuming at all! Just baked 6 bases. But short baking time. Assembly was easy, and yes, no decorating time. Easiest birthday cake to date!
