Day One Hundred and Two
dsc01849.jpg(click here for photo)Tonight I made a cake for Annie’s party tomorrow. I started making my own cakes when Daisy was born and now I feel like I can never stop in case I hurt someone’s feelings. I dread doing it but tonight I got a real buzz from making a Tombliboo cake. For those of you with no need to watch CBeebies in your lives, they are the latest craze to come from the makers of Teletubbies. Completely surreal, nonsensical creatures, which all toddlers seem to love. Where would we be without pink and yellow food colouring and marshmallows? I love family traditions and I think this is one I’m stuck with for another few years.
Tombliboo cake! whoa… we just got the little un an Iggle Piggle toy – much giggling and chewing ensued! what gets me is the way they mess with perspective… one moment the ninky nonk seems to be the size of a tonka toy and the next thing its big enough for upsy daisy to go for a ride in.. whats the deal with that ! there was a disturbing one last week with the tombliboo’s trousers kept falling down – inapropratie i felt
and dont get me started on Maka Packa continually polishing his stones!

| Posted 1 year, 9 months agoI’m impressed! I too have started down the road of cakes – my mum made one for all of us every birthday, and we’ve all kept up the tradition, even Becca made one for wee Rachel this year.
We made a schoolboy error last year though – a Thomas cake which Paul (being a perfectionist and more artistic than me) spent about 2 hours icing/decorating. We’ll never achieve such high standards again, and he was too young to remember it!
| Posted 1 year, 9 months agoAs you can see, my lack of artistic talent, patience and fussiness are still nowhere to be seen. As a wise and sexy man once said ‘We’re doing it for the kids,’ and I reckon he’s right. Slap it on, a few dolly mixtures and a lot of love. No doubt Rick would like to tidy it up but I’d break his arm. Its my thing and he aint gettin near it.
| Posted 1 year, 9 months agoI love, love, love that a birthday cake post can generate such blogging action: I was so disappointed that at the grand old age of twenty something my Auntie (who some how ended up making cakes for all ten of her nephews and neices (and then each of their kids in turn) decided enough was enough!
