2008 Asian Themed Co-ed Birthday



The asian themed lunch worked well for a shared birthday party for a 6 year old boy and a 2 year old girl who had the same birth date.


Lunch was a build your own, homemade, asian style menu of stir fry veggies, lo mein and fried rice with chicken or tofu to add in. Fried noodles, fortune cookies, sushi and oranges were also on the menu.


Goody bags / boxes for kids and adults included ginger cookies, sesame candies and preserved plums. Chop sticks for those game enough to try them and a Chinese calligraphy sheet to copy.


The kids chose their own themes for the cakes - Dora's Backpack for the 2-year old and an Ipod for the 6-year old.








Can you believe I forgot to take a close up picture before it was cut?!! Chocolate cake with cherry filling, frosted in lavender. The characters were done free hand and filled in with colored sugar.









The Ipod was a pineapple cake. The entire cake was covered in clear crystal sugar and the blue zones are colored sugar.
