Quick and Easy (and Budget Friendly Recipes) for a Birthday Partey

I have these basic kitchen neccessities on hand in the kitchen, so I didn't include them on my budget:

500ml Cooking Oil
1 stick of Butter
4 Tbsp Sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp Vinegar
Grated Parmesan and Cheddar Cheese
Alaska Evaporated Milk 

McCormick assorted food coloring

Spring onions

I have a 1000peso- budget to cover for the food (not including the cakes and cupcakes, okay?). I got all these done for only.... 830 Peso Powers! 

Well, Allson's car themed cake cost me 895 pesos and I made 40 2oz chocolate fudge cupcakes (a.k.a. choco lava-lavahan) for only 327 peso powers. :) Now everything edible cost me a total of P2052. Not bad, ayt?
