Happy Baekil BBC!

Recently, we celebrated BBC's Baekil (백일-100 day). 

A Baekil is a Korean tradition celebrating the 100th day of a newborn's life. Back in the day when the survival rate was low, they celebrated a baby's birth after 100 days. I also heard that the time in the womb +100 days is roughly a year. (If the baby is not early or late).

When I was searching Pinterest for party theme ideas, a mustache & bow tie themes kept popping up for boy themes. I thought it was cute so I decided to do a mustache/bow tie theme with navy and orange colors. 

I went to Tiny Prints where I found the perfect invitation for a mustache themed party. It was for a 1st birthday so I had to adjust the picture so that it said '100 days' instead of 'one.'

Since it was a bow tie/mustache theme, I made BBC an orange bow tie.

I don't know if it was the material or because I've made a couple, but this bow tie was a lot easier to make than the previous ones. 

To go with the mustache theme, I made mustache shaped brownies, mini mustache shaped brownie bites (brownies dipped in chocolate), and crunchy Buckeyes (pictured below on the top left).

This was the Baekil table.

My friend made the banner and the bunting for the cake and we ordered the dduk (rice cake).

I had waited until the last minute to put together the party so the final products didn't come out as nicely as they could have if I hadn't been rushing. 

The colors of the party were blue and orange so I made a blue velvet cake as well as blue velvet cake pops with orange chocolate and blue velvet mini cupcakes with a mustache sprinkle on top. I wanted to decorate the cake pops but ran out of time. 

Pictured above: drink containers with straws and mustaches, the dduk cake, some of the desserts, the food table and the cake.

I also made fruit skewers that had '100' as well as a couple with rose strawberries and mustaches. I didn't get a good picture of the roses or mustaches but you get the idea from the picture below. 

This was the drink table with plates and the napkins/forks.

My sister printed up vinyl mustaches to put on the drink containers.

I like how everything turned out considering I felt like the party was just thrown together! Maybe I'll consider the mustache theme for BBC's dohl too!
