Birthdays...

We have had 3 birthdays in a space of about 4 weeks. Sacha and Teagan turned 7 on Friday and had a wonderful couple of days. They got lots of lovely presents and had a great little party with some of their friends in the park. I made a birthday cake for them, a horse was their request but they were happy with one cake this year. Usually I have always made round cakes, banana or chocolate with sprinkles on top. Then last year I made them a cake each in the shape of a 6 in different colours.

Then this year with a help of a friend I made a Dora cake for Gemma so then Sacha and Teagan wanted something a little more special for them, so heres a pic of the horse cake I made. Not perfect but hey it looks like a horse, I did forget the mouth, or teeth or something but still it came out better than I expected.

And check out the ribbons I used for the reins, the lovely little parcel which arrived in the post from Amitie a week or so, was some pretty ribbons, to be used in a crafty challenge, well probably not the crafty challenge expected but they came in very handy on Saturday morning!!!




And heres the Dora cake made with a lot more help, for little Gemma who turned 3 on April 6, and well, she was one excited little girl...




This last photo is of Gemma racing to the door to greet her first guest!!! How cute is she!

Very impressive use of the Amitie trim.
Still haven't worked out what to do with mine yet!
Happy birthday to all the girls.
You are lucky to have such a clever mum who can make such awesome cakes.
I hope they tasted as good as they looked.

Ah, the pressure of a birthday cake! You did a fabulous job... the horse looks great, especailly with those fancy ribbons. I think you definately passed the Crafty Challenge!
