Even if my uncle
Mar 26, 2011
We wanted to throw a really big party for my grandmother last year for her eightieth birthday, an afternoon of fun and then dinner after with all her friends. My uncle who planned to come home for the celebration from the United States did not make it, because he could not take off time from work so he just sent money to be spent for the celebration. Preparation started a month before and I was assigned to take care of the birthday cake. The point is to find a cake that my grandmother would find impressive,but nothing too expensive, good thing I ran into cakes made of cupcakes. So I have decided to order a lot cupcakes, tied ribbons to each, and arrange them in a beautiful cupcake tray, and at the top most part, I bought a small beautiful cake with intricate words wishing a happy birthday, and added a cake topper of a grandmother in a rocking chair, with a book in hand and a dog at the foot of her feet. The party was at her place and we decorated the place with her photos in a tarpaulin. All of my grandma’s brothers and sisters were invited, also her neighbors and their families, a whole roasted pig was ordered by my aunt and it was served with fresh flowers on the tables. The whole house was packed with people, children and teens,so far it was one of the biggest celebration in her life. Even if my uncle, one of her son could not make it,she was still very grateful to all of us who contributed to making her day special and she looked so very happy.
