A long, long time ago when M was only four, I baked a rainbow cake for her birthday. Even though she is now all growed up and turned a humongous seven years old yesterday, she still remembers her last slice of rainbow.
“I have to take a cake into school for my birthday on Wednesday,” she told me as we walked in the shade of the Roman city walls on Monday afternoon.
“And it has to be a rainbow cake.”
Sometimes, it’s best not to question dreams too closely …

We love the sunglasses – thank you xx 🙂

(first few pictures of cake and cake-related excitement.)
Don’t know how you made all the layers stay put as ours ended up more swirly… supreme skills I expect. Mum says you made a dessert that was half cookie half brownie at the weekend, sounds amazing!!
Love to you all xx

/ June 27, 2012Hellooo! Hmm – batter too runny, perhaps? Nothing to do with skill – purely a matter of batter, ha!
The cookie cake … I wanted to call it a Choc Chip Cookie Chocolate Brownie Cake, but L thought that was silly. It still tasted good though!
Love to you all too xx
