I can’t believe that it’s this time of year already, but it’s time for the 9th Annual Amber Birthday Extravaganza!

Let’s begin the celebration!

The Poster

Chelsie Tamms from Lettering Works designed the poster for this year’s party. Since we’re having it at the “33” Room in the Pabst Building, she went with a Pabst Blue Ribbon theme and it turned out so cool!

Chelsie always does such wonderful and unique work, if you need any graphics and/or artwork, check out her website by clicking right here.

We had the poster printed up and framed at Technicraft. Here’s Nate posing with the finished product!

The Cake

My friend Kayla baked and designed the cake which was made at Peoria’s classic bakery, Trefzger’s.

Sadly, Kayla wasn’t working when I picked it up, but through the magic of Photoshop…

Here’s. Kayla with this year’s cake!

Thanks for a beautiful cake, Kayla and we’ll be featuring it again as this blog rolls along!

The “33” Room

The party is being held at the legendary “33” Room in the Pabst building in Peoria Heights.

If you don’t know the history of this place, just click here and read all about it.

You can rent this room for a private party and it’s open to the public Wednesday through Sunday.

There’s the Amber Birthday poster on the door, let’s go inside and see what’s happening.

This is such a cool room in here and it’s a celebration of Pabst Blue Ribbon!

There’s a Pabst bar against the wall, historical Pabst photos and memorabilia on the walls, tables adorned with the “33” Room logo and a neon Pabst sign blazes on the wall.

I love it in here!

This cabinet sits at the front of the room and I could spend days marveling at all of the vintage Pabst items in it. This is so cool!

The Birthday Girl and Joe!

There’s the guest of honor, the birthday girl herself, Amber with Joe on a couch waiting for the guests to arrive!

Great to see both of them and happy birthday, Amber!

The Food

The food for the evening was catered in from The Untamed Chef.

There’s the Untamed Chef herself, Becca Hearn along with her husband, Bryce.

They brought the food and set it all up, if you need a catered event, The Untamed Chef is who you need, just click here for the details.

The food was amazing! I forgot to take photos until people had already started eating, so that’s why some of the trays are half empty!

The Untamed Chef delivered and set this up and I thank Becca and Bryce for such tasty and delicious food!

The Bartenders

The bartenders for the evening were Jake, Dustin, Becky and Kyle.

They did a great job and were fun and friendly mixologists.

The “33” Room has a great selection of beer and they also have a wonderful selection of mixed drinks, many of them are the original, one-of-kind recipes from co-owner, Dustin Crawford.

The Cake

As I previously mentioned, my friend, Kayla from Trefzger’s Bakery designed and baked the cake and she did such a spectacular job!

The Pabst design was so cool and she even added a tiny Pabst can in the corner of the cake! How fantastic is that?

Thanks for the fabulous work, Kayla!
