April is always a little bit on the mad side for us with birthdays coming out our ears, along with work deadlines, school holidays and what not...
One of the most important birthdays in our house is that of our youngest. Who turned 3(!!) and whose favourite colour is yellow, and favourite animals are crocodiles and lambs. Oh yes.
So when asked what kind of things she would like for her birthday cake it came as no surprise that she wanted a crocodile cake.
And just as I was about to make green coloured fondant, up quipped a little voice... "Where's my yellow crocodile Mummy?" The green was promptly closed, hands washed and utensils washed before getting on with yellow instead :)
So, she got her yellow crocodile, with yellow flowers. I was allowed the liberty of adding some red mushrooms to Miss Croc sunning herself on a grassy knoll surrounded by water.
An Easter egg hunt, chocolate eggs, some yellow balloons and a few pressies later she finally got to put her hands on her cake. A happy girl who got all she could wish for on her day. :)
School holidays are nearly over here in NZ... what have you been getting up to? Much time for crafting of any kind? Some team/group efforts perhaps?
Hope you're all having a great time and looking forward to seeing your makes! Or works in progess! : )

ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you are one creative mummy! This is beautiful. I am glad the lamb wasn't o the cake too, as the crocodile
ReplyDeletemight have eaten it! When my son was 3 he wanted a carrot cake with orange icing, as orange was his favourite colour, I couldn't have managed anything as amazing as your cake!
It's the cutest yellow croc I've ever seen !!! You are so clever, no wonder it was a big hit!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday darling little feisty L! She is just lovely! PS is there ANYTHING you cannot do? Honestly, the cake is perfect x
ReplyDeleteBless. How fabulous. I love love love the yellow crocodile cake muchly... and that is really saying something because I am terrified of crocodiles. When we lived in Darwin I used to wake up in the night and get my partner to check none had crept in and got under the bed, and when I took walks on the beach used to walk in a big zig zag to avoid them!!! No yellow ones there though... perhaps I would have been less scared if they were yellow???
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the cake decorating. So very clever. Did you teach yourself or take a class?
Your cakes are some of the most wondrous birthday cakes ever. You should write a book :) x
