My latest cake - a big pink owl based on a soft toy owl from Tilly's Barn (my aunt's company) for my neice, Kate. It did have eyes made from dolly mixture but by this point she had eaten them. We had a very nostalgic little party. My sister made a pass the parcel, which being her first birthday Kate didn't understand but she enjoyed the music and the sweeties anyway. Then Dad hit the music again for musical bumps. Hats off to my eldest sister, Kate's mum, who managed to get half way through diving on the floor with the baby in her arms. My Mum, who's nearly 60, joined in too. It helps that she's only 5 foot tall.

I've got more pictures still on my camera to add at some point.
