BILL'S AND YZ'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

13/10/2013

This post share the birthday party of my brother-in-law and little YZ in Melbourne over the weekend, so that my family in Malaysia know what is going on over there. 

My youngest sister Vicky- having her favourite Malaysian food at PapaRich in Melbourne.
She is the chef and organiser for the party.

Vicky and her hubby  took great pains to organised a lovely birthday party and  everything went perfectly and everyone enjoyed themselves and had a great day.

First of all, let me show you ...

the cake which she baked the birthday party.  She is creative with the decoration!

Drawing the blueprint of the cake- I think I need to be more organise like her. 

She planned ahead and got all the necessary ingredients needed... 

laying out the cakes tin - body of the cake......

starting work on the cake... It was a chocolate cake. 

Wide happy smile and love showing forth.

While we were still sleeping soundly over here in Malaysia, she was already up at 6.30 am to decorate the cake!  It was coated with the chocolate ganache and then rice krispies were carefully placed on top. More details - eyes and mouth were added and not forgetting the cheerful red bow tie and the "buttons". Finally the YZ were formed with liquorice!  

Days before the party, she had started to get the house and deck ready ...

the fig tree - hopefully it will bear fruits when I come for my next visit!

the cutleries for BBQ were laid out. 

 Their speciality- souvlaki marinated with oregano, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper....
