A Heart-felt Thank-you. If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked A Cake !

Hello gorgeous Picket Fence friends!
 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

  2. Yep, I think you need to post the recipe. It looks great.

    So funny to see your kiddos cracking the eggs. Do you have chickens? We love ours and we get tons of eggs daily.

    Have a great Sunday.

  11. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of
    any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.

    I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you
    would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run
    into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  12. Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from
    somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements
    would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you
    got your design. Many thanks
