Just a small occasion really... a couple of other families who we really like came along to assist us in the eating of the cake and have a BBQ in the park.
It was so nice... nice to see the sun... nice to see friends.... SO SO SO nice to have family here for the special occasion and just oh-so-extremely-nice!
The cake (as always) was a joint effort. Hubby 'engineered' it all creating levels and iced the yellow block. I baked strawberry, vanilla and chocolate 'layers' and iced the rest of the blocks, cut out icing shapes and letters and did the piping (a skill that I have yet to refine!!). We are so impressed with how it turned out... I actually think that Hubby and I enjoy the challenge of setting a task and seeing it come to fruition. (You can all eagerly await the 3rd birthday of our little lady in a few weeks to see what we manage to do!!)
It's a pity you all weren't here to taste the cake... one of my finest might I say... a true neopolitan cake flavour.... mmmmm. Pity there is not any left for afternoon tea today. But family and friends who didn't make it.... know that you were missed!
Oh that cake looked awesome!!! Great job you guys - loved the blocks. And wish I could've eaten it with you all. Glad you had such a great time celebrating Tad's birthday - can't believe he's 1. Love to you all. sez xox
