    It’s cake and therefore cannot be a fail! I bet it goes in a flash ;)

    I was expecting a complete disaster then, you really should see some of my attempts before calling that a fail!!
    I think she won’t care, its cake xx

      Thank you! It did go down very well at the party, which was a relief xx

    It looks yummy, why was it a fail?

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      It just didn’t turn out how I imagined it would :(

    Wow well done fab cake and Happy Birthday xxx “I cheated and got my sons made”

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      That’s been my tactic in the past – my mum is such a great baker – but I had an urge to go DIY this year!!

    I can’t see any sort of fail here. My eldest is nearly four-years-old and I’m still to attempt a homemade cake (for a variety of reasons, but my lack of baking skills is very near the top!). Hope it went down a treat

      Thank you! It did go down remarkably well. My top tip if you do decide to attempt one is to give yourself plenty of time, this cake took way longer than I imagined it would to ice!!

    Looks good to me :)

    That doesn’t look like a fail to me. Did Ma Puce – happy birthday! – enjoy it? I bet she did. Well it wasn’t a fail then!

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      She did thank you, both at her joint party with her friend and at her family party yesterday. I have to say though, I spent most of the time in the kitchen baking, so am going to revise things somewhat for next year, so I get to spend some quality celebration time with her!!

    I think it looks great, and I’m sure is very tasty!

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      I think I learnt to love it!

  • http://www.coombemill.com/blog Coombemill

    Not my idea of a fail and I bet it tastes far from a fail! Happy £rd Birthday

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      Thank you, actually it did taste pretty good!

  • http://www.actuallymummy.co.uk Actually Mummy…

    It looks great! What are you on about!? ;)
    I always think my cakes are a failure too but the kids love them…

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      Just my usual witterings!!!! The kids did love it, there wasn’t much more than crumbs left after the party, guess that’s a good sign!

  • http://www.goodstuff4kids.co.uk The Good Stuff

    Looks pretty good to me… if that’s a fail my cakes are a disaster!

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      Aw, my mum is one of those cake-genius types, so anything short of her perfect creations feel a bit like a disaster for me – though she would never make me feel that way about them!

    It doesn’t look like a failure to me!

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      Thank you, you are very kind!

    Looks fab to me. Oliver recently turned one but I was overawed to make a Thomas cake so I had it made. Well done you!

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      You canny lass! I have to admit to having asked my mum to do MPs cakes for her first and second birthday, only thing is, she is such a hard act to follow!! Thank you for the vote of confidence! x

    chocolate, cake, right number, what more do they want from a birthday cake! Well done mum!

    • http://www.motherwifeme.com mother.wife.me

      Well, when you put it like that…!

      Ha, thank you for your kind offer!! But mainly thanks for the compliment, I really did feel quite miserable when I’d finished making it, but everyone has been so kind with their comments x
