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. Scarf: Capitales Twilly Scarf ring: MaiTai Collection, petite size in honey
Dearest MaiTai, A big Happy Birthday and all my best wishes to your DS! A 10th birthday is so special - and looks like he had a spectacular celebration. You are the best mom - who also happens to make amazing birthday cakes...you should see me trying to study what all the goodies are on this unique and magnificent creation!! Love your cheerful selection of the Twilly - what truly joyous glow you have!! Again, all good and happy wishes to your DS and warm hugs to you, xx
The cake is lovely and I am sure was delicious! I just adore your Picture Book and share it with my daughter daily. Thank you for taking the time to write it!
I remember when you posted about your DSs B-day last year (or the year before?). I cannot believe how time flies! That cake looks yummy, I wish I had been there:0)<3
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!!
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!
A warm welcome to both of you, dear Tippy. How lovley to hear you share this with place with your daughter, this is truly special and wonderful. Hope you will both continue to enjoy it here :-)
A warm and happy welcome back, dear SMR, missed you! Hopy you had a great trip, and good to see you again! We had such fun last Sunday, it is always such a special day.

Oh thank you, dear Tabitha, happy you like the hair that way. I do love entertaining, and bringing out a birthday cake to 16 wide eyes kids is the best fun!
Thank you, dear DD. DS says hello and merci, and sends you a bisou <3
His birthday cake looks so yummy, please share the recipe! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
