I love the little cars you made, they're great, I'm not surprised the kids loved them when you finally gave the word! It sounds like you have had some wonderful birthday celebrations for Sylvia.<br /><br />I will have to remember this cake next time I want a cake that would hold up well to cutting and shaping. The last cake I made for that purpose worked very well (a condensed milk cake) but was very sweet, so I'm looking out for alternatives. Not that I need to shape cakes very often, but it's good to have the right recipe just in case!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-1811229783577682942011-03-07T05:18:01.942+11:002011-03-07T05:18:01.942+11:00OMG!

Difficult for you though. How lovely for her to have her own cot that has been passed down the generations - lovely idea. Her cake looks fantastic - putting the chocolate fingers around the edge is really effective and I love your little teddy racers, no wonder they were so popular. In my everything takes much longer than you expect.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-19327073467185433242011-03-06T22:39:33.850+11:002011-03-06T22:39:33.850+11:00Thanks Hannah - funny you say you don't have t...Thanks Hannah - funny you say you don't have the patience because to me it just seems like fun! I am sure you would make great nut butters for a kid and make them happy by just eating them off the spoon - we all have our talents :-)<br /><br />Thanks K<br /><br />Thanks Yaz - would have lots of fun making teddy racers with you - I love the sound of a production line - Sylvia would no doubt be great at it when she is older, I'm just easing her into it - hope you enjoy your banana cake<br /><br />Thanks Laura - I am not sure I would say it is dry or moist - not like a dark chocolate mud cake that is almost gooey in the middle, more like a very buttery cake<br /><br />Thanks Jacqueline - they are great for kids parties - though there are lots of leftover lollies (sweeties) to get through - E was very helpful with that :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-54266982860133310892011-03-06T20:59:24.273+11:002011-03-06T20:59:24.273+11:00Happy Birthday Sylvia!

You just needed a production line - a la Henry Ford, with older cousins responsible for steering wheels, headlights or whatever, depending on their age and dexterity!<br />I'm off to make banana cake, as I have some bananas on the turn that will do nicely. I will have to make do without small people to help out though!Yazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663641688425080063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-78947541020049231472011-03-06T17:06:12.704+11:002011-03-06T17:06:12.704+11:00Both the cake and the cars are very cute!Both the cake and the cars are very cute!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391678902908585000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-74493633124639131012011-03-06T15:53:49.538+11:002011-03-06T15:53:49.538+11:00Oh my gosh, too cute, Johanna!
