Time has just flown by and little C is now 1 month old. This will sound cliche but it feels like only yesterday when I first carried him home. The memory of being pregnant is still so real in my mind. How quickly he has grown and how quickly I have gotten older :)
We had a small afternoon tea with friends and family at our home to mark this momentous occasion. I posted a similar post for Abigail when she turned 1 month and mentioned the significance of this day to the Chinese. I am too lazy/too tired to look up the link for that blog entry and post it here so.. either Google it or look under the Parenting label on this blog for it.
Both grandmothers and I prepared some simple nibbles for the afternoon - we had curry puffs, blueberry muffins, pineapple and coconut muffins, spring rolls, sausage rolls, salmon and cream cheese on crackers, bruschetta, Tim Tams, chips and the star of the afternoon, the cake!
I had decided to attempt at making a cake and covering it with marshmallow fondant for the boy, I must admit the making the cake part wasn't me. I got MIL to bake the cake and I did the decorations for it with some help from my mother. Everyone had a hand in making it. It is an amateurs work but something I am quite proud of because I am no baker. I am a cook but not a baker. I dont do measurements because quite frankly I suck at them. I am the toss it in and taste' type of cook.
I reckon the cake is not too bad looking for a first timer :) What do you think?
This cake was a test run for a birthday cake that I want to make for little A whose 2nd birthday is coming up soon. I didnt do much for her 1st birthday so I will be making up for it on her 2nd birthday.
Check back in July to see how the second cake turns out! Oh and maybe again in October if I feel like making a third cake for the husbands birthday. We'll see....
My boy is now 1 month old!
