Cakes past and present!

It was Ewans birthday last weekend he was 8, time really does fly when you have kids far to quickly. The baby is 8 weeks old already, i wish time could slow down just a bit so i can spend as much time as possible like this whilst they are young. Another hobby of mine is cake decorating some of the cakes i have made have been fantastic successes and some have been epic failures but i keep on doing it as the kids seem to love and be proud of the fact that mummy made it for them. Thinking back now to some of my favorites i wish i had a picture, but i was either to busy with everything to take one and just forgot, a lot of them have been videoed whilst singing happy birthday and some are on phones that are so old i took them to the shop and the lady had to work out how to get the pictures off so they are not digital. But i gave had a look through my computer and here are some that i have got on it.

Just looked and i can't believe how few i have photographed, its great that i was just living in the moment and forgot but they were great and i wish i could see them again. So i will try to remember what the kids had- Ewans 1st birthday was a chocolate cake with cream filling and teddy s made from golden marzipan, one sat on the top and others squashed in between and hanging out, this cake turned out brilliantly. 2nd birthday was a flat iggle pigle as at the time he was a huge in  the night garden fan, 3rd was a 3D Thomas train and carriage filled with sweets on a tray covered with green coconut grass and a liquorise track.

Ewans 4th Birthday was ....

another Thomas cake, a bit wonky but i tried and that's half the fun.

5th Birthday was a large number 5 that was done like a road with 2 real racing cars sat on the top and black and white square round the sides

6th Birthday we are in the Pokemon era and a picatu cake was requested, which was another wobbly but not bad attempt.

7th Birthday was a rainbow cake for his party and Mario cupcakes to take into school for his class, which is something i do if the birthday falls on a school day.

and finally this years 8th Birthday which i did Angry Bird Cup cakes for school and an Angry-bird cake for  his party.

For Molly's 1st Birthday i did a Teddy Bears Picnic cake with coconut dyed green grass and a red blanket with three Bears each with mini cake and a cup.

Molly's 2nd birthday cake is one of my favorites. Cup cakes with fairies and Teddy's, a water baby, a teletubby, makka pakka , timmy and others.

Molly's 3rd Birthday was a Castle cake with faires.

Molly's 4th birthday was another Rainbow cake as she loved Ewans.

I will forever feel guilty that Fred didn't have a cake for his first birthday but at the time he was suffering from a rash caused by being unable to tolerate  eggs so i did try and make him an egg free cake but i failed, i know he won't remember though and as its his birthday in a few weeks. 

He did have a lovely christening cake, but was only 6 months old so couldn't eat much!

Finally i found this which was the original fairy cakes i made for school summer fair

I wish i had photos of all the other i have made i must remember to photo them in the future at least for the kids scrap books.
