A 3rd birthday party

You insisted on a 'strawberry party' this year, so we tried to make all the food as red as possible...

You'll need 8 small people to dance like dervishes to musical bumps and musical statues, while you assemble the following on the dining room table:

a large tub of baby tomatoes
a red pepper, sliced
babybels - one for each child to stop any arguments
strawberries, natch
red pizza (we had salami, tomato and mozarella - I was going to make it, but frankly life's too short when you've got a cake to ice as well, so Somerfield catered)
Tunnocks tea cakes
Hula Hoops (so everyone could wear them on their fingers)
jam tarts
Iced Gems (it really isn't a birthday party without these)

We had a red tablecloth on the table, red straws to drink the orange juice through, and lots of strawberry-coloured balloons (as well as some home-made bunting).

And, obviously, the piece de resistance - a strawberry cake.
