Mum can we make a FAIRY cake?

This is a common request from Kelsea. I always say - "oh i need to clean the kitchen first" But she usually persists in asking til during Eamon's sleep we sometimes make one.


HOWEVER our oven is temperamental at the moment - and a cake that takes 50 mins usually in an ordinary oven BURNS after 15 mins.... the bottom was black and some of the top and sides so I had to "trim" it a little to make sure it didn't taste of charcoal.


Kelsea has taken after her mum in that the ICING is her favourite part (it tasted pretty yummy this time round - butter icing is the BEST)
.


Of course after our attempt tp use the tupperware piping concertina ball to decorate (the icing was too runny) we needed to put in a sparkly candle and light it and sing happy birthday to Kelsea!


Kelsea LOVES to help cook - she even cracked the eggs - saying she wouldn't drop them - and she didn't - hopefully she will end up a better cook than her less-than-gifted mum!!

(Oh by the way can you see the dryer in the back round? WE paid $10 for it at the op shop - almost NEW it had a missing clip on the lint filter - one mans trash is another mans treasure - at least this winter we will have DRY laundry for once!)

So cute! And YAY for the DRYER!!! I love mine, if I'm not organised enough to wash on a sunny day when I know rain is coming then I don't have to stress!
