The art of icing a birthday cake for Grandpa!

.... as passed down by "my Gwanny" ...

.. "first you have to lick the icing off the whizzing thing .....


" ... then you have to squish the smarties on .. like this ....

" ... then you get the little silver ballies .. and also squish them on like this ...

" ... you see ... it's very precise ...

" .... then you have to lick your hands and fingers ...

".... before you carry on ... using the other hand also helps ...

" ooops ... you need to take the icing off everything-that-gets-icing-on-it ...


"... and once you've used up all the smarties and the little silver ballies ....

" ... per...fect !! ..... all done!"

  3. I simply adore little Erin - she looks like a child full of character....and a personality deluxe!

    This entry has given me an idea...when I go home I'm going to bake a cake ( gosh the box kind ) and allow my granddaughter to help me and do the icing, I also want to take photo's like these for my memories...and its good bonding time for us.

  4. Oh Avril - how sweet is that? By the way, the Luigi's on B.Naude has closed - he sold that one! We go to the one in the Boskruin Centre - there is also in Olivedale. Same owners though!
