The Party

It went great! Last night was heaps of fun! I was preparing for the party from dawn to dusk, but it was all worth it. Everyone loved the buffet spread and we had a few fun activities throughout the night. Guests brought crisps, wedges and drinks to help keep the party going after my food and pizzas were finished.

I had a good variety of food on the counter;

• Vegetarian rice vermicilli noodles (for those who were vegetarian and Muslim)
• sandwiches (ham+pickles+cream cheese and egg+tomato)
• Sambal boats (Spicy Malaysian sambal on cucumber boats)
• Cucur udang (A Malaysian snack made from prawn paste - deep fried with flour)
• Malaysian prawn crackers
• Salads (which nobody ate, haha)
• garlic bread sticks
• Everyone got to build thier own pizzas on Lebanese bread with an array of numerous condiments I had prepared. (I forgot to take pictures of the 20 over pizza's I was making throughout the party, my hands were dirty and I was too busy feeding everyone; anybody took pictures of thier pizza which I could have?).
  

Desserts were;

• Butter cupcakes sandwiched with strawberry jam and iced with buttercream and tiny marshmallows cut in half as flower petals
• Chocolate pots and baskets (I baked chocolate puddings in tiny ice cream cones to resemble pots and stuck several lollypops in the middle with piped buttercream flowers around the corners)
• White chocolate puddings covered in milk chocolate toppings and strawberries
• A chocolate fondue made with lindt milk, dark and cadbury milk bars melted with cream, milk and a dash of mocha coffee powder. Everyone loved this part of the party!

A special thanks to everyone who came by, Amrit; who helped clean the house, Pinky for having to do so much chopping and dicing! and Artem for doing the 'man-ly' electrical+ moving furniture chores and helping me make pretty stick kebabs of berries, pineapple and marshmallows. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! I managed to keep within our budget of less than $40 per person between the 3 of us for the ingredients and party necessities and we intend to have more parties in the future! ps: Those who would like recipes for the food last night; email me some requests and I'll post them up for everyone.
