Jasper turns 7

Our gorgeous Jasper turned 7 today. I can't believe how fast the years go.

We had our usual breakfast tradition of balloons and a pancake stack in the morning. He will have a party with his friends in a couple of weeks.
Of course a chocolate birthday cake was needed to celebrate and we had a little family birthday afternoon tea at home.

Happy Birthday Jasper! We love you so much and are so proud of the wonderful son and brother you are xx

Birthday Cakes.

I have been given the responsibilty of providing a cake for my dad's 60th birthday on Saturday.

Due to "life" and being busy I haven't really given much thought to what I am going to make.

Since we will be driving 2 and a bit hours to get there, I think it has to be something simple and easily transportable.

I think I am leaning towards this at the moment.

(obviously 6 & 0!)As dad is a mad St George footy fan I'm thinking a red and white theme. Jaffa's maybe or raspberries?

I'm thinking chocolate cake inside and who doesn't love Smarties?

Some other favourites I like are:

Although in reality I will probably just make a couple of rectangular sponge cakes, pop them together with icing and just write Happy Birthday on top.

I will be sure to take a photo of whatever I decide on!

What is your favourite cake flavour? Chocolate, Vanilla etc?
