The party theme....



It is that time of year again, when I dream up yet another Children's birthday party.  My inspiration for kid's party often comes from Donna Hay's Kids Magazine.  Donna Hay is an Australian food writer and she's always been a bit of a hero of mine. Her food is delicious, but it's her styling I particularly love...

This year the theme is Pink Rainbow, strange you may think, but a great inspiration for food... I'm even going to try one of Donna's Rainbow layer cakes...

My search for the perfect party bags in the UK proved fruitless. I just couldn't find any I liked, so I have to admit, I ordered these lovely brown paper party bags from Donna Hay's Home Store

all the way from Australia!  Ok.  I may have gone slightly over the top...


So I am still in planning mode, but I have decided (after my dreadful efforts last year) to bring in an expert to take the photos.  So London based children's photographer Emily Gray is stepping in to help. 

With only a week and a bit to go, the pressure is on.  I will report back with styling decisions, recipes, and whether I survived 2 hours with 18 3 yr olds in my house!
