I had grand plans of spending the week leading up to the day making the cake. Unfortunately, work got in the way. I made the cakes Thursday, then covered and decorated them Friday night. I went to bed at 8am. I didn't want my only niece to have just any birthday cake.
I did this just for a bit of fun. Don't get your hopes up. I didn't film the making of the figurine. It was too late and there was not enough time. Plus ignore the messy crumb coating.
irthdays should be renamed Birthweeks for kids. This is the first of 3 cakes that I am making my daughter. Maybe I am going overboard but its for my little girl ;-). This is the Kindy one.

One of the carers at my daughter's kindy was leaving. My job was to make the cake. For those wondering about the writing. It's supposed to look like the little girl in the red and white dress painted it...... oh, as a few people have pointed out to me the paint on the girls hand doesn't match the print. If it wasn't 3am in the morning when I realised this then I would have fixed. The hand print is actually the logo used by the childcare centre. The cake is chocolate mud cake.
I forgot to post the valentine's day cake from last year.
I can't take credit for the design. It's from one of Debbie Brown's books. I probably could have picked a better cake stand too :-)
My daughter wanted to decorate a cake for Mummy. So I covered a small cake and let her at it with a paint brush and food colouring. I think she did an excellent job.
