As some of you already know, these last few days have been quite hectic for me as I have been organising my youngest daughter’s birthday. Georgia turned 2 today (on December 1st) and we had a nice, quite family day as we had a little birthday party for her last Sunday with some of our closest friends. Both Georgia and Victoria had a great time and the little one got many wonderful presents (thanks everyone!).
I love organising my daughters’ birthday parties; even though it is always lots of work… but I guess it is the kind of work that a foodie actually looks forward to! 😉 I obviously prepared all the food at home and had lots of fun cooking and… decorating!
Georgia adores Dorothy the Dinosaur from the Wiggles. I know they are quite famous around the world, but for those who do not know them, the Wiggles are an Australian group of musicians who sing children’s songs and Dorothy the Dinosaur is one of the characters that is often seen with them. She loves roses and she’s reknowned for her rosy tea parties. So I decided to have a somewhat “Dorothy themed” party: we had a “tea party” and a few of the food items I made were clearly Dorothy inspired.
Dorothy Sugar Cookies
Dorothy Cake Pops
And, off course, a Dorothy Cake
Needless to say that Georgia loved the cake! <3
I am going to post all the new recipes in the next few days… but here is a preview of the “menu” (hoover over each image with the mouse for the name of the dish and, where already available, a link to the recipe):

I am publishing the Dorothy the Dinosaur Cake, the Dorothy the Dinosaur Cake pops and the Sugar cookies recipes in the Cake decoration page, so you can see the details over there (just click on each link).
Aaawww I cannot believe my baby is already 2 years old… I guess she is officially not a baby anymore… sigh! Georgia is an amazing little girl with one of the most gorgous smiles and heart warming laughters I have ever seen and heard. She’s very cheeky and so adorable… she can get away with anything! We love you soooo much little one and we are really proud of you and we are looking forward to another year filled with hugs and kisses!!! Happy birthday baby girl!!!!!!!
So… now it is back to “normal life” again! Thanks to all my fellow foodie friends for their patience and constant support in the last few days! I had to stop my usual blog hopping as I really did not have time… cooking first and then editing pictures and putting up all the posts! Anyhow… I am back now, so expect a visit from me ASAP!!! <3
Love travelling as much as cooking?
Many of the recipes I share are inspired by places I’ve visited around the world. On Travel with Manu you’ll find destination guides, itineraries and travel inspiration to help you plan your next adventure.

It’s still December 1st here in Peru, so I think I’m on time to with your little process a very very Happy Birthday.
Sorry…I wanted to write princess…my fingers are out of control today.
Manu, what wonderful family shots – you all look fantastic. Don’t know how you do it all. Happy 2nd Birthday to Georgia: gosh, seems not that long ago it was my eldest’s 2nd. Now I have to prepare a party for 20 12-yr-olds next week and don’t know where to start! What an amazing table you prepared – bravo!
Happy birthday to your angel Manu
Everything looks amazing! can’t wait for all the recipes
Congratulations on your little girl turning 2! I love the cake! You are very talented Manu….
Georgia is precious! She obviously gets her beautiful smile from her mother. 🙂 What a fun birthday party you gave her. Sounds like you had as much fun as she did!
Beatiful photos, Manu! What a wonderful birthday party you prepared for Georgia! With all those yummy treats, I’m sure everyone had a great time!
Awww congratulations!
And those cake pops and the cake are completely adorable! Well done 🙂 I bet she was a super-happy birthday girl.
Auguroni alla Georgia! Come faccio ad imparare a fare una torta come la tua … soltanto per mia figlia che compierà 18 … si ho detto 18 anni !!!! 🙂
Oh, what fabulous photos of you and Georgia! I hope you will print and frame one of these! And what a fabulous menu…LOVE the Dorothy treats…and looking forward to all the other recipes. Happy birthday, Georgia!!!!
Happy Happy 2nd Birthday to Georgia! Glad to know that all of you had a wonderful celebration! 😀
Oh I love everything you made here, Manu! That birthday cake, sugar cookies and cake pops are awesomely cute! I wonder if I’ll have the courage to make my gals’ birthday cakes and stuffs like these! They’d actually requested but somehow and I just don’t why, I don’t dare to make! Sounds silly, I know.. LOL 😛
Guess I gotta agreed with this that you mentioned: “She’s very cheeky and so adorable… she can get away with anything!” She’s totally the same like my younger gal! Haha! 😛
I’m gonna check out all the recipes that I’ve missed lately! 🙂
What a great party you planned, such pretty food. I am sure it was delicious too. Glad it was such a success.
