American Birthday Parties in China.
October 22, 2009
It is comforting to know that Pizza Hut is available for birthday Parties in every country. Oh and in China its the cool place to have a party, even if you have already graduated Junior High.
For Thomas’s 25 Birthday Katie planned a party at Pizza Hut. I met up with Katie at Zhong Bai and hour before to help her get a cake. I’m glad she ran into some students because if it had been left up to the two of us I don’t know if we would have been able to purchase it in time. But with their help we were able to order and get it made in 20min. I didn’t know they had to make it, I figured we could just buy a sheet cake.
We arrived at Pizza Hut before everyone else and Katie got everything arranged upstairs.
The candle Katie got was awesome.
I’m still trying to figure out how to upload movies so until then I’ll just describe this candle. The candle on top starts as a flower bud then once lit shoots flames (no joke) which light the petals pushing them open. Then it plays the Happy Birthday tune for more than an hour. It was awesome, such a candle would never fly in the States but oh so entertaining.
The Chinese Birthday Candle! aka Flame thrower!
No joke the center when lit produces a six inch flame that you can hear! I was expecting a waitress to rush over with a fire extinguisher but that would have only happened in the States.
Anna is a new edition to the group she is a Brit studying at Weifang University until the English school she will teach at opens.
It was a great evening! The cake was absolutely delicious. I love the frosting here because it is heavily whipped and thick but it is not exceptionally sweet.

Even with six of us we couldn’t finish the massive cake. So rather than lug it all the way home Katie gave it to one of the many people in need near the Tai Hua, who has thrilled to accept it.
Even though Halloween was still a week away Pizza Hut and its employees were already decked out for the Holiday!
