It's great to have you back! Why not leave a comment at the end of the post to share your thoughts about the post with other visitors?
Today, 22 July 2010, is my son’s 32nd birthday and my thoughts turned back to the times when he was still a boy and had to eat the “creations” his mother turned up with at school or for his birthday parties.
I originally published photos of his birthday cakes when he was still a boy, on the 1st of July 2009 as “Theme Parties from Yesteryear”, but I thought I should just republish the whole post again instead of only giving a link back to the original post. I hope you will be able to find inspiration from these few photos for your boy’s next birthday party.
Here is the original post….
Here are a few photos of birthday cakes that I have made for my son when he was a kid… he will be 31 in a few weeks and I realised when I looked at the photos how quickly time goes by.
To host a party for your kids can be a lot of work but to see the wonder on their faces when you bring out the cake and other goodies is worth all the time spend on preparing the food and putting together a theme for the party. The personal joy one experiences cannot be compared to anything else as well. So enjoy organising theme parties for your kids and make memories that will last a life time.

I used a racing track theme for his 3rd birthday party at the day care centre that he attended at that stage. Click on the photos to open in a new window and get some ideas on how to use store bought cookies, sweets and vienna sausages to make racing cars and “spectators”.
Kids Alien Space Ship Birthday Theme Party
On his 6th birthday I tried a space ship theme but the cake eventually turned into an alien monster kind of space ship but the kids were very impressed with it. Store bought wafers and ice cream cones turned into smaller space ships and boudoir finger biscuits became small planes.

Train cake
I tried to make a train cake for his 4th birthday but now that I look at the photo again, it is actually a far cry from a train, still it was a lot of fun to make the cake.

The radio cake for his 8th birthday looked more realistic and suited his passion for certain songs on the radio at that stage.

If you have read my post on where to find ideas for theme parties, I hope these few photos will help you realise that it is really not difficult to come up with a kids-theme-party idea.
Remember to have fun planning your kid’s next theme party!
