I'm watching Masterchef US 3 and hence sea urchin dissection. Never tried sea urchin but it seems to be in at the moment since it's not the first time I come across the spiky delicacy on TV. Maybe I should try it... Maybe.
I'm actually planning a sea or ocean theme for my baby's first birthday party ;) Maybe we'll do a game of faux-urchin dissection for the older guests! I need to put my creative hat on and see what I come up with. I've been inspired by my American friend here who creates amazing theme parties. She did a puppy theme for her son's birthday and a ballerina one for her daughter. And it's not just blue-for-boys and pink-for-girls but she created 'dog bones' out of pretzel sticks and marshmallows and served them out of real dog bowls (new of course)! And for her daughter each cupcake had a dancing Angelina Ballerina figure on top. It's not over the top, it's really creative and as cool as kiddy parties can be! I love hosting and I love doing creative stuff but I usually don't combine them to a great degree. I'm trying to cut down on the hosting bit now in the sense of delegating catering (cake order) and limiting food items (just cake, pop corn and drinks) so that I'd actually have the time and energy for some more fun creative stuff as well.
I'll give a report with photos, I promise.
;)
Might pass on the dissection and just join the kids' party part. Know what you mean, some people are just amazing with parties. But I fondly remember all cake and bun sessions at your place, so you're included in this category for me.
