Get down and boogie!!!

 

Here it is, the pinnacle of my very short cake decorating career!!!
This is the “Disco” cake I made for my friend’s 1970’s theme party. 
I COULD tell you how disappointed I was with it, and the trouble I had trying to work with fondant,
BUT…………
I think I will be a big girl and just say YES, it looked FAB and the birthday girl loved it.

Fairies & Toadstools.

 
Last October our dearest Miss D turned 4.
My personal Party Planner, Miss A, created a fabulous dress up tea party with a red and white  storybook theme. 
This party really needs a post of its own , but a few photos will have to suffice.

Doubling up.

What are the chances of having two of your children share a birthday??
 
Well….if you have 9 children, then I guess your chances are higher than normal.
 
Three years ago, our Number 2 son turned 10 and our darling daughter Number 5  arrived on the same day!!! She was 14 days overdue and just wanted to hold on until she could share her  birthday with her brother.
Can you believe I still managed to make a cake, even though I was in labour!!?
 
I will always remember walking out of the kitchen with the birthday cake and  pausing with a contraction before singing ‘Happy Birthday!’
 
It seems hilarious to think back on it now!!!!
