Australia Day is coming up this weekend and if you’re getting ready to throw a fantastic party, there may be a few things you want to keep in mind to make it a little extra special. Here are our 3 biggest tips to make your upcoming party a smashing success.
Like any celebration, food and dessert will always be the way to turn a good party into a great party. Whether you’re throwing an outdoor barbecue or organising a simple meal, the food selection can be a make or break for the guests.
Be sure to browse around online to try out new recipes for the big day and check out our Pinterest page for more Aussie-themed baking ideas that will keep your guests happy. One of our favourites, the Australia Day Lamingtons, have not only of the greatest histories, but also taste pretty great too. Plus, our recipe is so easy you can whip it up the morning of Australia Day with zero fuss.
Occasions like this are great opportunities to try new things, so if you’re guests like experimenting, try finding something new to make and spruce up your party!
Keeping your Australia Day decor up to par will be important in making sure you create a great atmosphere for your party. So, bring out the Aussie flag bunting and colour coordinated party supplies, maybe even making them match blue and red.
Plus, don’t forget that presentation is equally important for your food as well. When making your cake and desserts, be sure to make them look appealing as possible and take your time crafting how everything looks. Sprinkle Pops are great for adding flair and colour to any creation too!
To save stress planning your party, be sure to keep organisation in the forefront of your mind. Keep things like your guest list organised online with RSVP trackers and event pages and stay ahead by making lists for shopping or tasks that need to be done before the day of. It’s always ideal to be as prepared as you can to avoid disaster!
The same goes for preparing your cakes and desserts. You can start prepping your cakes a few days before the party or even a few weeks if you can freeze you cake layers. Just make sure you wrap the cake layers tightly in cling wrap before freezing.
