The husband turned 33. Which is awesome because that is a palindrome in both decimal and binary (10001).
The day started with some pancakes with candles. The candles were supposed to stand up on their own, but they were too flimsy, so I just lay them flat. Not a v.g. start to the day.
He had asked for a Despicable Me party. The minions are his favorite. So, I threw him a minion party for two (three if you count Dave :D).
I attempted to make a minion with a banana cake. It came out looking more like a Frankenstein minion mashup. I still don’t have the hang of how to work the damn fondant.
In the movie, the three girls sell cookies. So I made him some cookies. The recipes are on
Cookie Close-ups:
I found the images of the cookie boxes online and printed them on a color printer, so he would know what he was eating.

As a sidebar, in case you are wondering how does one bake 5 types of cookies simultaneously, I present organized baking :
We also had some drinks:
For dinner, we had a giant minion calzone:
The real icing on the cake for the party (or balloon in the sky, if you will) was that after his Birthday, we went to Miami for a couple of days and actually got to see the Minion blimp!
None of these ideas are mine. All inspiration links (mostly to little girl birthday parties – but don’t tell the husband 😉 ) can be found on this Pinterest board.
