Erm, I don't know lol... what kind of tips?

Not sure really! How did you cover the apple, is it buttercream?

Llama park looks interesting, but not at £6.50pp! (why yes I am cheap) We're not sure what we're going to do yet - depends on the weather, really.

Random, haven't seen Fitzio for a few days. Was just thinking about you as I have this desire to break WW and eat loads of junk today but am trying to be strong (and just wondering how you're holding up).

While we are talking about days out type things - is anyone in/near the Cotswolds? We are going on holiday there a week today (yay!) and I'm looking for ideas.

Yes it's buttercream and cochineal colouring... I coloured one lot red and covered the whole cake, then made some darker red (mixed blue and green into it) and spread it from one side at the bottom up using a fork to kind of give it a coloured in look like the books...

Caterpillar is just fondant icing coloured with blue and green , rolled into balls then flattened out a bit and stuck together into the caterpillar shape... It was quite easy really...

I hear a car... At least the hoover is away...

Have fun Krystal.

I'm jelous of all your creative cake abilities. I can make a cake, so long as it can be round and plain (well look plain anyway - my cakes always taste yummy!) I could probably stretch to some smarties on the top!

We went here when we were in the Cotswolds. Alice was only three months so didn't really appreciate it but Izzy is probably just the right age to enjoy it.

Lily has started falling asleep with her legs in the air :rotfl: We think the next step of development for her is grabbing her feet, but for now she just looks like a book end
She has this leapfrog catapiller toy that sings classical music and other songs, and she loves it. The music sends her off to sleep

We had that for Henry and now William is playing with it... he is constantly playing with his feet and trying to eat his toes..

Dk - I can wait till after the 20th will make plans at a nearer date.

EA - Tahlie is starting to reach for her feet when she is on her change mat, it's so cute. Also she has been getting her legs/arms thru the bars of her cot for awhile ( even tho she is in a sleeping bag), apart from it upsetting her cos she wakes up it hasn't so far hurt her.

Has annyone tried the muller Greek yoghurt corners? There lush but not cheap and I need to buy more cos just nommed my last one.
