The birthday boy and his cake


Jules's birthday cake, originally uploaded by Racmol.

A busy day today - one cake to make, one Grandma to pick up from the airport, one little girl with an upset tummy (a virus already in evidence yesterday, and NOT related to excess cake consumption...)

In the end I made the cake while Sofia slept in the pushchair and Jules went to pick up Grandma. It seemed too risky to take all of us to the airport, considering Sofia's delicate condition - not to mention B2's imminent arrival. 

Nothing so exciting as Grandma arriving has ever happened before, or at least that's what you'd think from Sofia's reaction.

Grandma and Sofia have both gone to bed, and now and then you can hear Sofia calling 'Hi! Hi Grandma!' hopefully. With any luck Grandma is so tired from the flight she will sleep through it. And now everything has suddenly gone quiet - a good sign??

The chocolate sensation cake was a modest success, if I do say so myself. Although not exactly slimming, with sour cream and dark chocolate filling and dark chocolate and butter icing, and extra whipped cream on the side...

Good to hear Grandma arrived safely. Happy birthday to Jules. Our baby rabbit Cyrus is doing well - venturing outside the hutch now

he cake looks lovely. Sofia seems pretty excited about it... More so than Julsie... but there again he is only allowed 1/2 slice because he is on a slimming diet I believe :)
