It was my boys birthday yesterday – a school day – he turned 7. Today he is having a small afternoon tea birthday with a few close friends and a birthday cake. Friends on twitter sent some great suggestions for cake ideas such as star wars cake - which is very cool – and the campfire cake – love this one too. I am baking today so better get cracking (just for fun here are his birthday cakes from his 3rd birthday)
Here some gratuitous pics of my birthday boy… oh how he is growing (and just for fun – compare to a few years ago)
Whipup has also been cranking along – here some some cool crafty things featured this week.
