I was rummaging though my parents old photo albums on the weekend looking for one very specific photo. Me in a nurse outfit on one of my birthdays. Lucy from Captured by Lucy is planning her boys doctors and nurses party and I said I would try and dig it out for her.
I didn’t find is sadly but I did come across some other gems!
My mum always home made and themed mine and my older brothers birthday cakes. I don’t have a great memory, but these I remember. I’m sure the inside was always our family favorite chocolate sponge and butter cream (so yummy I can not even tell you) but the outside, well you will see below, came in all shapes and sizes.
Here are a few vintage party photos from my child hood, see I have always loved a party – I’m just not as cute now .
Spot the terrible fringe cutting/chopping. Bowl?….. I’m told not.. hummm
My 1st birthday picnic
Sylvanian family cake a playing the trumpets
Ship cake with candles in the marst
My brothers cakes
Clown party
A pinata before the days of pinata’s
The day I learnt hoola hoop hands!
Love this, thank you! Your Mum made some extraordinary cakes!!! I will raid my Mums albums this weekend! xx
It’s so funny looking at all the old party photos and seeing me & tom do what all the children at my parties do now.
I must say I want to bring back the paper bag and spoon pinata!
