The Planning phase
It is party time and no matter what, it is time of super excitement for all children present on the day. The anticipation grows by the day as the invitations have been prepared and handed out. It’s the topic of discussion for the children.
Party preparations when at home start at least 6 weeks before the special day. It being a birthday or any other special party day. If you are catering for the party here you will find many quick, easy and delicious recipes, which can assist you in your planning.
The age of your child will determine the type of foods and bakes you can prepare. Many of the recipes in this eBook can be prepared beforehand and frozen. In this way you have more free time closer to the day of the birthday.
Your child will love to help you prepare for his or her birthday or other party. It’s part of the preparation and fun in baking. Sweet chocolate cakes and icing covered cookies are the highlights on the birthday table or buffet. On the other hand camouflaged sandwiches, fruit, vegetables and pastry delights can have just as much or even more impact on the little googly eyes and greedy fingers.
The adrenalin at birthday parties is flowing even before the little guests arrive at the party. Strategically placed ‘healthier’ well decorated foods should be in the forefront where all children can get hold of them. Portion sizes should be on the small size as the child would like to try as many if not all the exciting foods that are available. The eyes always eating first.
Being a mother who would not like her table or buffet to look too empty she over caters for the occasion. The variety and amount per item should depend on the age of the Birthday child and his guests.
Planning, planning and more planning is what is necessary so that you as host are confident that you have everything you set out to achieve. Ask for assistance from a friend so that you can complete your plans and keep sane. Keep in mind it is your child’s birthday and you need to be there for him/her.
I wish you happy baking and lots of enjoyment.
