Even though it wasn't my mom's actual birthday on the trip, it was close enough to celebrate... and we had the added advantage that she wasn't expecting it! It was a bit challenging to make 60 miniature cupcakes (you can guess why I picked the number 60...) without measuring cups or spoons, in a cheap celsius oven that didn't actual bake very well. But it was very easy to get everyone behind the idea of a surprise party, and we collected a lot of eclectic decorations. Poker, limbo and cake: what makes a better party?
