The Monkey's First Birthday

Our zoo trip was foiled due to the most shocking weather which was sad, but I had been stalking the weather forecasts for days before so it wasn't a huge disappointment. We decided to go to the 'Wacky Warehouse' instead on the recommendation of a friend. We weren't sure if she would be too young for it but they have a special under 3's area and she loved it!

Afterwards we went home so she could have a much needed nap and then our immediate family and best friends came over for cupcakes. I used the Vanilla Cupcake recipe from The Cranberry Bakery Cookbook which I have used before and they have such a great flavour! I did a simple buttercream icing for them and the fairies were edible ones from Coles.

She was so tired out by the end of it poor thing but had a great time. But we still had the party to come!
