Bella's 2two party
Sweet little girl Isabella is the daughter of my friend Ate Dinky (my unofficial event party designer). She is the luckiest little girl I know because her mom is as excited as her when it comes to her birthday parties. I even think her mom already has plans for her future birthdays too!
On her 2nd birthday, last 23 November 2012 we celebrated it at Zabeel Park. The theme of the party was a "2two party" (See the play of words?) Girls were asked to wear a tutu and boys were to wear bow ties. I secretly wished I had a baby girl to dress up in a tutu, but looking for and seeing the boys wearing bow ties made me a happy mommy too.

Ate Dinx and her supportive team did all the decors themselves. I really love the attention to detail they've put into everything.

The Cake was made by Fadge Cake which of course looked and tasted really good!!! Check out their FB page (link) if you are interested to order.

At the end of the day, We were tired from all the activities but there was a certain kind of high that I felt leaving the party, the kind that made me want to keep talking about it because there was sooo much love and effort put into everything. Now isn't that the best way to leave a party?
P.S. Now you understand why I'm excited that Ate Dinx is helping me with Aden's party.

Lemon Drizzle Muffin
This is the first muffin recipe I found online that I am truly happy about! The product was very light, fluffy and not too sweet! I even made a non-dessert loving friend like it!
P.S. grating lemon was not my favorite part of the process (I never realized it will be that hard - and then my husband told me that cheese graters like knives also gets dull - palm to face moment)
Ingredients
Serves: 12
- 220g plain flour
- 125g caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon bicarb of soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 250g natural yoghurt
- 85g butter or margarine, melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Lemon drizzle:
- 80ml lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper cases.
- In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, yoghurt, butter and lemon juice. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Take care not to overmix.
- Fill muffin cases 2/3 full. Bake at 200 C / Gas 6 for 20-24 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes; leave muffins in tin. Using a skewer, poke 6-8 holes in each muffin.
- In a saucepan, combine the lemon drizzle ingredients. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Spoon over warm muffins.
