Good evening! We are winding down to the end of term here at home - the wee folks are moments away from the summer school break and I can't wait - I get to ditch the alarm clock for two months...bliss.
This year I promised little dude that he could have a party for some of his school buddies - his birthday occurs during a significant holiday and so he has never really had a party that he could invite school chums to. Been feeling a little bad about this as he has attended loads of parties over the years... sooooo, we had 'half year' birthday party for him and a few of his buddies over the weekend at a local farm - my dude is nuts about sheep... he got to feed the lambs - never seen a kid so happy.
I made the carrot topped muffins and the sheep crispie buns, but I had to get the big guns in for the cake - in the shape of my pal 'S' who has a cake making business - isn't that cake just the best ever! - check out the cracked eggs - Shaun is baking a cake...on top of a cake...giggle, this just tickles me all over.
Anyhow, this is why I have no crafty stuff to show you - normal papery stuff will resume tomorrow.....
Such lovely cakes! I bet your son was thrilled!
ReplyDeleteHe was, though we are a little sick of sweet stuff...still eating leftovers...... :)

DeleteHappy Birthday to your little boy! That cake is awesome, lucky you having a friend like "S". :-) I think you may have been able to make it yourself, considering the awesome goodies you made.
ReplyDeleteMichelle - nope, no way - I really struggled with the little bits I did - I'm ok at modelling, but the technical know how about baking and storing just confounds me.... thanks for popping over!
DeleteI love Shawn too! What a lucky little boy! :D
ReplyDeleteme too elbeth!
DeleteThat cake is a work of art. Love Shawn and Timmy. How did you make the sheep crispy buns? Recipe please. They are so cute and yummy looking muffins. Hugz
ReplyDeletereally? well I'll make up a recipe and post it ionabunny - they are super simple! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI'm glad he had a good "Half Birthday". The cake is fantastic...love Shaun....but your decorated treats aren't to be discounted. They are great, too. I especially like the sheep.
ReplyDeleteThanks Grammie Jackie! yep it was fun!
DeleteThat cake is marvelous!! So many wonderful details: tell S that she has lots of fans!! Love your cute little cupcakes/muffins and the crispie treats too: you're a good Mommy!! Paper crafting has to wait for such a wonderful day for your little guy! I have a mid Dec birthday, so I can appreciate having a birthday placed in the wrong part of the calendar!! A few years ago I decided to celebrate it in Jan. so I could slow down and enjoy it! That is, except this year because it was on 12-12-14: had to celebrate that day!!!! Have a wonderful day Claire!! Hugs, H
ReplyDeleteAn official birthday and a real birthday - sounds like a great idea to me. Your friend sure makes a grand cake. It's brilliant. Mind you, I'm quite taken with your carrots and your sheep are fabulous too. Hugs, Lesley
