Favourite Colours.

Well fortunately Ali's cake had some of my favourite colours, pastels.

He has had a brilliant day and we are snuggled in bed watching a movie, well of course I am blogging quickly!

The cake didn't quite get it's topper so I improvised.

I was going to do hills around the base but I didn't like it in the end so that bit was a disaster!

I was joking to my friends on UKS that the embellies look a bit like nesties :D

You can just see inside that some of the fudge didn't fully bake. Well Mary Berry might not improve and it might not look great but it tasted good with a squiggly fudge bit :D

Lots of lessons learned and I can't wait to try the next one!

The birthday boy himself. He has borrowed a book called Egyptology from the school library. Well he had used his imagination to interpret all the pics and he loves it. I was surprised to learn that The pillars at Karnak were magic and that images of the gods are pics of the werewolf egyptians :) I think we will have to go back and read it together!

We had a nice time chilling out playing new Moshi games.

And yes, that is Fudge in the background with The Birthday Hat on!
