Has it really been TWO years already ? It's flown so fast. My baby is turning into a right little man and growing constantly in front of my eyes....
"Mummy - Happy Birthday cake today please ! Oliver two !"
Oliver has been asking EVERY morning for his birthday for nearly two weeks.
"Not today Oliver - soon".
The disappointment on his face :-(
Well - TODAY we had birthday cake. His birthday is actually Monday (25th) but his little friends came round today for some birthday tea - with their mummies of course.
This morning, we came down the stairs and Oliver's cake was ready waiting on him.
"Happy Birthday Cake for Oliver. Hooray !"
He was soo pleased.
"Oh Mummy - it's blue ! Dinosaurs Mummy and Number Two !"
I nearly cried. His little face was glowing and we had to sing Happy Birthday over and over and over again.. He looked at all the dinosaurs, pointed out the colours and try to count them. A few too many when we are still tryin to count to ten ! I used Oliver's dinosaur sprinkles that he likes to put on cupcakes on the number 2.
The little dinosaurs were cut from fondant using some little cutters I bought from an ebay seller in Canada specially for Oliver's cake.
I made his cake with letters from my own design Say It With Cake range of silicone bakeware moulds / molds. At the moment you can buy several word sets - HAPPY, BIRTH, DAYS and CAKE. These moulds can be cut into individual letters for mix and matching. I've done several blog posts using these. There is a guide on a recent post here.
However, all letters and numbers will be available for individual sale from early December. I've got a full set as samples that I'm playing with now.
Below is a cake I made earlier in the week for a competition Yorkshire Tea are running. This is just one layer thick - but split and filled with jam and cream. It didn't last long as I took it to work and customers seemed to enjoy it !
We then had a tiny little cake and put the big one away until his friends came later. A new toy rocket kept him amused most of the morning and all evening. He's gone to bed with the rocket....
Three little boys - all munching cake ! Everything was sticky afterwards from all those little fingers ...
Barely room to move ! Our house is only little - so 4 children and 4 mummies = not a lot of room to move !
