Morning everyone!!
So yesterday Bunny wondered what cake Little Man and I were going to make! well, this is it!!
Yup, Little man wanted a unicorn cake!! which was perfect for some fun baking we thought!!! To make it sooo easy, I have this really cool cake pan set HERE. You bake all the layers at the same time and it took just 25 mins to bake the layers!! wahoooooooooo!! magic in itself right?!!! We made up a whole tonne of cake mix...we kept giggling because we thought it might overflow!!!
Then we split that into 5 pots.Mo chose all the colours he wanted his layers to be .....and then we panicked...like a lot...because we took them out of the pans and they looked just like normal cake colour????arghhhhhh!!
So today we are surprising Mo with a treat. Mo loves afternoon tea, you know with the tiered plate with all the different treats on. We went for one with my grandad last summer and Mo absolutely loved it, he thinks they are magical. So as a last day of the holidays where mummy is well treat we decided to book one for daddy's dinner hour when he has finished a conference call. My friend Karen shared a picture of one she had had with her daughter and the cafe looked right up Mo's street for amazingness so I can't wait. He has some book vouches left from christmas so I have told him we are going to walk into town to spend those so he hasn't got a clue!! squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Right, got to go! I am going to indulge in my last shower with soap and my last hairwash for a couple of weeks. I have been told I am not allowed to get my dressings wet for 2 weeks after my surgery tomorrow so I am making the most of the last shower and uber fresh feel!!! Don't get me wrong peeps, I will be washing but the long hair might be a bit tricky for scott as I can't bath or shower and leaning over the bath for the shower head detached might be really sore for me...so if you see my hair looking vile please smile at me and tell me it looks shiny!!!! bwah ha ha ha ha!!
Huge hugs and kisses, Lou xxxx
Hiya Lou, wow, what an amazing cake. it's turned out very magical and sounds like little man was well chuffed to bits with it.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you for tomorrow. you're so brave and positive - that's so good to see. With that, and the loving support of family and friends, this will help you get through anything :)
OMG! The cake turned out fabulous. I love the eyelashes. Y'all did a great job. I could just imagine your faces when you cut it open and it was beautimous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise and Valentine for Mo to have a lovely tea. Y'all enjoy and have fun.
As far as your husband washing the hair, forget it. It's not because he's a man. It's too hard when you can't get a dressing wet. I speak from personal experience. Me and the mister had a good cry the one and only time we tried it. Unfortunately for me it was a year. If you can let it dry by itself have him or a friend take you to a salon and most of them will wash it for $5.00. Where you live though it could be different.
I pray that all goes well not just tomorrow but in the weeks and more to come. Let everyone help you as much as they want.
Wow! That cake is awesome! Love the tip about the tin set, very cool. You really ought to win a 'mama of the year' award Lou. You are 'some kind of wonderful' my sweet friend! Enjoy your high tea! We did it for Georgie's birthday as a treat last year! She utterly loved it! Enjoy your bath and go get a hair wash at the hairdressers after babes. It'll feel nurturing and treaty, and you'll be clean! Just make sure they angle you back carefully, so as not to pull the stitches!! Kisss from me and the kids 😘😘😘
