bear wafers?? where'd you get them. don't think i've ever seen them  :o

Saw them in ASDA at weekend. They're made by Marcantonio, cost 49p for 20 small ones and half are lovely girl teddies, half boys.

I know it's a bit late, but butterfly cake is easy,
Not the fairy cake type, make a big square sponge, cut half diamonds out of two sides. Should look a bit like two wings, when you cut out the diamonds leave a pencil type cut in them for the butterfly body.
If your creative cut the wing ends wavy (both the same remember)
Use some chocolate matchsticks/cigaretes for antenna, silver balls for eyes etc....
Decorate the wings how ever you like, a fun way is make a water icing in pink and then run white down it, using a skewer pull the white icing through the pink (i think that makes sense)
Decorate around with some jelly creatures, use a green base board for the cake, make it look like a butterly on a leaf.

thanks chris got some wafers, they had them in our local busy bees and were 49p for 20 too. sadly 3 yr old found them and there is only 8 left, so will have to get some more and hide them better.

My boy is 3 next month so with all these suggestions I'm spoilt for choice as to what cake to make him.

Hopefully he'll have forgotton all about his birthday last year when I traumatised him by putting a candle on the cake (he wouldn't touch the cake for hours after!)

......and then his post-traumatic shock was worsened when at Christmas we were very cruel and pulled some Christmas crackers, the deafening noise of which caused him further upset!

mine cried at crackers too. glad some elses does too. and he cries at the slurp noise the water makes when it runs out of the bath. no idea why. have to get him out and take him in another room before removing the plug. ???
