Well it’s not actually totally finished, and taking the pic with a dark background doesn’t do it justice and the wet looking bits will dry, but here is the first pic of the Dora cake:
I am pretty pleased with it actually – and the acid test – although she probably shouldn’t have seen it yet I think she will be getting enough surprises on the day not to worry about the cake being one too – and I needed her approval so yes, Scarlett has seen it and instantly recognised it – so HURRAH for that:-)
And while I had the camera out I took some snaps of my poor sore nosed children. Here is Davies with his chapped moustache:
and here is Tarly with her festive nose:
She is now asleep although we have kept her up the latest she’s managed all week and Davies is obviously on the mend as he is still chuntering away asking foolish time wasting questions to keep me in his bedroom. About to go and tackle that clean washing mountain before shoving pie and chips in the oven, grabbing a quick bath and then setting up the Christmas tree ready for decorating with the kids tomorrow.
A most excellent D-D-D-Dora the Explorer cake! Well done.
Davies’ looks like he has been sniffing something, nasty stuff Coke®, see if you can get him to switch to Pepsi, or better still apple juice.

Fantastic Dora cake. I hope those sore noses get better soon, ouch xxx

Ouch! And ouch again!
Poor Davies, he looks really sore – and he’s got those ill-looking heavy eyes.
But the cakes look fantastic – will know where to come next birthday!

Love the cake, hate the noses. Small is developing a raised lump on one side of his forehead – he’s landed on it four times in the last few days. Wonder how they do that.
