Happy 23rd Birthday Ashley!
To celebrate Ashley’s birthday, we decided to hold a Retrogamin’ themed birthday party, fit out with some 8bit games and bittunes. Apart from styling up the place with some old school game memorabilia, we decided to cook up some deeeeeelicious party food, including Ash’s one and only special burger.
I actually took a day off work to help prep some food, and came over early to help set up some of the decoration, posters and plate everything!! Cleaning up took forever afterward, but it was worth it!
Here are some the selection of food that was on offer:
Pastries – Spinach & Feta Quiche, Ham & Cheese Quiche, Pigs in Blanket!
Sandwiches – Cheese & Cucumber, Egg Mayo, Ham & Cheese
Accompanying the above finger food, our guests were welcomed with a burger each!
For all those who RSPV’d on time, we made a deeeelicious burger with customised (by yours truly) flag with their name. Ash flipped and cooked the burgs to perfection, whilst I handled the assembly station as his sous chef.
I also made some desserts, which included a cake-version of Ash’s burger!
Unfortunately, I felt that the burger cakes didn’t turn out too well, mostly due to the lack of icing (sauce), making the whole cake + brownie taste a little bit dry together.
Ferrero Rocher Nutella Cupcakes, Nutella Pastry & Burger Cakes
Finally, for the special birthday cake, I got a bit lazy…and made a Neapolitan Ice Cream CAKE!
It has some cream, cookies, chocolate ganache and of course, all three Neapolitan Ice Cream flavours. As you can see, it unfortunately melted quite a bit, after I attempted to take it out of the springform pan… but hey, it was like 40°c that day, so it was a welcome treat!
And that’s another birthday party down!
