Look at this Birthday Cake......

made for my special daughter's sister first Birthday Party (special daughter as she was named and I was dedicated to her, as opposed to being christianed and me being made a godmother). Are you still with me?

Look at this cake that her Grandma made for her - Fifi and the Flowertots.

The only bits that you can't eat are Fifi and her friends - though Holly did give them a good chewing later as she is teething, and the tables and chairs which are balsa wood...oh, and the umbrella......
Isn't it amazing?!

It took her a week to make...

Isn't it amazing? Can you believe that someone has the patience and the talent to do this. Over the years Grandma has made various fabulous cakes, and I am ashamed to say that I was so overwhelmed with this one that I didn't take any photos of anything else at the party and that includes the beautiful Birthday Girl.
