    Ali -

    He can decorate my cake any time - I like to have the years taken off! :)

    He did an excellent job - life is good, and this is a memory keeper! :)

    Blessings,
    Bonnie

    That really is very good - icing can be pretty tricky. As for the age thing, is this part of the charm he inherited from Tartarus? Cxx

    Not just a sweetie but clearly a gentleman too, shaving off a couple of years of a ladies age. You have taught him well!! Hope you had the best day xx

    Bless him, he's done brilliantly! Icing is, as my eldest might say "well hard" to do. You can read it and everything, as well as it being sweet and gallant.

    Dear all - isn't he FABULOUS?! The cake WAS very small. It was a victoria sponge slice from the Co-op, cunningly cut in two and sandwiched together with strawberry jam. Lashings of apricot jam glued the marzipan to the sponge and the icing to the marzipan.

    It's the loveliest cake I've ever had :-)

    And his icing is miles better than my effort on HIS cake!

    He's a wee smasher - when we're both looking the same way. When we're head to head (eg tidying his room or debating whether Minecraft is a good thing or not) he can be a little swine!

    Mrs YaH - that sounds just lovely. I get a bit upset at the thought of Sonshine being a 'boyfriend'. *eep* I may be coming over all Bette Davis.....

    Blighty - thanks! How did you enjoy the Guy Martin film?! I have a bit of a notion on him. But I don't know why. I think in real life he would drive me bonkers.
