An alternative to the caterpillar cake

This one of two stressful, but finally rewarding, nights of the year: making MGG’s birthday cake. Of course I could just pop to Tesco and buy a cake, but it’s kind of a family tradition. My mum always made fabulous birthday cakes: windmills, flowers, fairies, teddy bears, treasure islands…all lovingly created.

I don’t really have my mum’s talent, but I have desire, and love, so put myself through it every year. And every year it’s worth it just for that first moment when MGG finally sees the finished product. This year, I’ll be producing the horses in the stable, as per the book cover. I’m sure there’ll be some entertainment value, so will let you see the process and results!

Wish me good luck!
