Cake

I promised A a cake for being four and a half, and she requested snow white, so here it is! The cake is blueberry sponge from the hummingbird cafe book, and the picture is from the Disney video jonny gave her for Christmas. I traced it onto greaseproof paper and used a skewer to indent the outlines onto rolled out marzipan. The skin colour was reached my mixing natural and golden marzipan in equal amounts and adding a drop of pink. The trickiest bit was painting on the lips and eyelashes. Pictures of the seven dwarves cup cakes to follow...

First ever haircut

He sat very still for the whole thing. I used clippers round the back to take off the curls (of course I'm keeping one in the drawer) it looks very sweet but unfortunately I went a bit overboard on the fringe. Congratulations on your first haircut my big grown up boy.

Snack time, again.

Sunny spell

We are really enjoying the spring- like weather, spending the weekend in the garden and even cooking our first outdoor meal of the year.
