On the eve of my hubby's birthday, I thought I would show you what he did for Dean, our 2 year old for his birthday a couple of months back.
I am sure you have seen this cake before. It is from Donna Hay's Kids Special. It looked easy. I baked the cake and Rick, after wincing at my pallet knife skills took over putting his many years of roof pointing and rendering to good gastronomic use. I complained at his taking over but was actually quite relieved because I really do suck at that kinda thing. I do.
I really have a great man.
While he was slaving away, I mucked about with frosting and cupcakes that needed less precision!
Dean did such a good job of blowing out his candles. Probably was a bit agro from having is hands held back from the flames.
And then Rick could relax.
So it is Rick's birthday tomorrow. He'll get what I promise him every year and almost always deliver . . . roast beef and yorkshire pudding. And dessert? Not sure, but I will think of something.
Do you have a birthday ritual in your home?
That cake is the coolest!! I think I have found Harry's cake for his birthday. I am coming to you for your help!
ReplyDeleteIf you hand with the birthday dinner for Rick - I am happy to help with the roast beef, potatoes and yorkies - it is my specialty.
Jen, that cake is soooo easy and will be a walk in the park for you! I will dig out the instructions but it is quite obvious. Yeah, after our convo re roast beef I went and borrowed 30 min meals and copied out the recipe! I will check in with you re where to buy meat as I am still more vegetarian than carnivore and have no idea on cuts. We've had your roast dinner so I am a little nervous knowing Rick's eaten top quality!!
DeleteOh so cool....will be remembering that one for next year. xx
ReplyDeleteDo you know we have 4 boys and so far only our 3 has shown a slight interest in lego, though I have noticed that Kaizer is drawn to it at friends houses so there may be hope that one day I too will get to do a lego cake..it's very impressive and I love your cupcakes too.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you hubby, I hope you guys have a wonderful day.
