In exactly 2 months from today, it'll be my 25th birthday !
Two weeks after that, it'll be Lolita's 25th birthday !
And in June, my adorable grandma will celebrate her 100th birthday !
As you can imagine, I am busy brain-storming for the best ideas on how to make these special days even more memorable. Planning, I like to think, is one of my specialities. I'm organized and, quite frankly, one of the most anal-retentive perfectionnist people around. I'm determined to make a big deal out of these birthdays and to get shitfaced celebrate in style !
The first thing that came to mind
when I thought of a way to make a big deal of this : CAKE.
I'm a fanatic of the tv shows Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes. Either you know what I'm talking about or perhaps, you've seen pictures circulating of those amazing cakes. It's no secret, they're really fabulous but also quite expensive. I found a cake shop, here in the city, who seems to make similar (amazing) cakes.
I'm thinking of perhaps combining Lolita and I's birthday celebration .. and get one cake for both of us. That cuts the cost and gathers more friends & family in the same place. Also, we're bestfriends, turning the same age, within 2 weeks of each other .. it DOES NOT get more perfect than that, right ?
Obviously, for my grandma's cake, I would go with something simple, pastel colors, with some beautiful (real or icing/fondant) flowers on it. Both parties would probably involve around 50 people, so I guess it's good that it wouldn't be as big as a wedding cake. Of course, I need to find a job before spending this kind of money on cake, but that's .. well .. a piece of cake ! Uhmmm .. right.
If the budget doesn't allow for the "cake of my dreams", it could be just adding a special touch to some cupcakes and to the drinks.
For some reason, I think these silly little party hats would be awesome to wear. However, I think that's the kind of thing that I would never be able to get Lolita on board with.
Perhaps I'm leaning towards an Alice in Wonderland and Mad Hatters themed party ?
But then again, neither of us are big Wonderland fans.
How about an Old Hollywood Glamour theme ?
Audrey Hepburn meets Marilyn Monroe.
Afterall, Lolita is the Audrey to my Marilyn.
Let me know what you think bloggies ?
P.S. You are ALL formally invited to this birthday bash !!

Cakes are the best for birthdays. I don't know how it costs there but here varied to 20 to 80 dollars, depends on how you want it to be. Customized cakes are surely more expensive but they're so cute.
Ps. So amazed that your grandma is turning 100. What's her secret? That is so great, she must have had a great healthy lifestyle.
I LOVE CAKE SO MUCH. For my birthday when I was abroad in Spain, they didn't have traditional "birthday cake" so I insisted that my parents bring me some IN THE CAR when they picked me up from the airport months later!
