Birthday

Yesterday was my husband's birthday, so going with the "bee" theme for this year I tried to make him a bee cake. Considering it was made during a rather long power cut it didn't work out too badly, mind you when I asked my son what he thought it was he had to scratch his head for a few minutes before coming up with the right answer.
Next is my son's birthday... he is already requesting Thomas the Tank Engine - my advice to any new mother (or father!) - don't ever make a "shaped" cake unless you want to continue making them for the remainder of your children's life.....
