Birthday Party Success




Liam's 5th birthday party was a success and I really think everyone enjoyed themselves. There was go-carting for the kiddos and food and chatting for the grown-ups. I was very fearful that this party would be a disaster since I unknowingly planned it for Easter Sunday at a horrible time of 3:30! Thankfully, all of Liam's pals came. (If you want to check out the party photos shoot over to our family blog.)

The party menu this year was as follows:

Marinated Antipasta Skewers
Caprese ala Melanie
Roast beef sandwiches on cibatta with horseradish sauce and rocket
Honey Lemon Pound Cake (Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics pg. 208)
Devil's Food Cupcakes (Martha Stewart's Cupcakes pg 34) with Buttercream Frosting (Martha Stewart's Cupcakes pg. 302)

You can find the recipes for the first three on my new recipe page. If you need the recipe for the other items just shoot me a message.
