a cake for a brother & sister

Today we are doing a little colourful baking for a brother and a sister who have a summer tea party.

We are looking forward to all the jolly activities and the girls think the cake is jolly too to fit the occasion well!

Of course I knew they'd be keen to have some of the multicoloured rainbow layer cake so we dolloped  three of the colours together to make tri-colour fairy cakes.

Mini hats have been favourites in the past so we made some of these to decorate the top and also a personalised bunting cake topper. 

                                

                           

                                    

    

    

     

Show and tell...,

Tomorrow is mini beasts and bugs lesson and mini1 will be taking in her homemade banana and honey loaf with the honey from our very own honey bees. 

Photos of the process and a few props; honey!, frames, honeycombs are ready to be passed around as is the loaf. 

We also thought a little simplified doodle of the processes would be fun too.

The circus cake....

Okay so it's done! and on the first day of the holidays with all three wanting my attention I'd say its not bad and I deserve that glass at the end if the day!!

So visually it's not exactly to plan but as a designer by heart and profession I have the ability to go with what I have! The frill was not planned but it hides what I wish no one to see beneath!

Bunting, my performing elephant topper and sprinkles as imagined and happy I did these last night whilst the mini's were sleeping. Mini marshmallows I recommend should be in every families cupboard along with other store cupboard essentials than i'll talk about another day!

All in all I'm happy, my 3 year old baby (no more) will be grinning and that is what we only wish for....happy mini1's. 

Here is how it went....
