Birthday Grill out Party!
This week is week six of my online photography class with Sear’s Grilling and SoFabU. Last weeks assignment was plating and lighting so I used alot of those tips on this weeks project. Our assignment for the week was to use the skills that we have learned and throw a backyard party. The timing was perfect with my little guy’s birthday on Thursday.
We had a little family birthday celebration.
We found some cute Happy Birthday plates and just placed them on top of some red dinner plates that I already had.
My son wanted hot dogs and watermelon, which was pretty easy to put together for him!
He got a HUGE bouquet of balloons from his Aunt and Uncle so we used those as a one of our decorations out back.
The perfect summer birthday menu:
Hot dogs
Watermelon
Chips
Cupcakes
What birthday party doesn’t have cupcakes? My little guy requested a simple homemade cupcake with white frosting and sprinkles. I used lifesavers in the center for the candles {this idea was on the cake mix box}.
I loved that it was birthday number seven and they all fit perfectly on my cake stand! ADORABLE!
It was a beautiful evening and the grilled hot dogs were delicious {thanks Sears!}!
Blowing out the candles and making a birthday wish!
The lifesavers are such a cute idea to add to cupcakes. They frame those candles perfectly.
Your photog skills are definitely improving…I really want a hot dog now! haha
