Hopelessly behind...

This weekend was very much taken up with DS' 10th birthday celebrations. The actual day was on Saturday and the party with friends today, which is why I am very much behind on catching up with comments, emails and posts.

Loved reading everyone's comments on the last couple of posts, and look forward to a tranquil time tomorrow, getting back in touch.

  2. My son is 10 in a couple of days & I am afraid that his cake won't be quite so fabulous. Hope your weekend was lovely.

  16. Many thanks Ritournelle. It is the same basic recipe as for the cupcakes of a previous post
    http://www.maitaispicturebook.com/2009/09/kids-cup-cakes.html
    Instead of filling the mix into the cupcake tray, line a 26cm cake tin, pour the mix in and bake for 35-40 minutes. Repeat process. Let both cake discs cool on a wire rack. Prepare icing, and use to cover cakes and to sandwich both cakes together. While the icing is setting, decorate the cake. For kid’s parties you can use sweets, but it looks also very pretty with walnut or almond halves, chocolate swirls etc.

    Wishing your son a very happy birthday, dear Katie! Hope he’ll have a wonderful day, and a great and fun party!!

  17. Many thanks for your lovely good wishes, dear Scarf Enthusiast. DS sends you a ‘grand bisou’! He absolutely loved his birthday, and enjoyed every moment of it. The ‘goodies’ were his favorite sweeties, and I am more than happy to send a bag over to you, lol. The Twilly was a good and easy companion for the day (v. special indeed, two digits!), and it is so nice to hear that you liked the look. Hugs to you too x

    DS says thanks you, and from both of us a very happy belated birthday to your father! DS asks him to come to his party next year, and share his cake with him.

    Thank you, dear Lutz. It certainly was one of the biggest days in my life, only it does not feel as if it’s been ten years, lol.

    Many thanks from both of us, dear Penney. Hope you had a great week, and wishing you a lovely weekend ahead!
