Wow , it's been a big week in blog land :) So many visitors, I'm thrilled . This is really just a very quick thank-you to all that have visited my blog, my stats have soared and your beautiful comments make me look at my family and smile xx
I went to a garage sale this morning and found the sweetest little wire cake stand. Yay time to make another cake !
We made a basic sponge, you know, five eggs , some sugar and flour, a lot of air and a hot oven, if you want my recipe, let me know and I'll post it. In the mean time, I thought I'd share some photos of the Picket Fence Children cracking some eggs, the recipe called for 5 eggs :) we went through 10. If there was a sound track here, it would be a chorus of giggles, with the odd Eeewwww to break the laughter! I love the way children break eggs, its a steep learning curve.
We had fun with this alone... The cake was a bonus xx
Add some icing, some cream, a Cadbury Flake, some hungry tummy's and yep, you have a recipe for a wonderful afternoon. Another, more wordy, post coming soon, I promise :) This lucky Picket Fence Mummy was given an award! More about that shortly. Until then, enjoy your weekend, maybe even ( bad joke alert).....get cracking xx
