DD (22) is making my birthday cake. I've been banned from the kitchen, but since I'm the one who makes and decorates hundreds of birthday cakes, I keep having to have hypothetical conversations with her about how to do things!
She wanted me to roll and put the fondant on it, but now I've been dismissed!
Tis exciting! I haven't had a birthday cake made for me in years!

I done know yet! Today is the day. The big reveal! It's on the table in the dining room and I can see the box from here. DD stayed at boyfriends last night, DH is still asleep. It's just me and the closed box.... I could just.... But I won't! She's very proud of it. She's had the seal of approval from my best friend and god mother, so I'll be a good girl and wait!

"She wanted me to roll and put the fondant on it"
If DD ever makes me a birthday cake I sincerely hope she doesn't use fondant icing (yuck).
Anyway, Happy Birthday 
, and I hope your 
is delicious (under the fondant icing )

Lol, MrsHomeSlice! . No ones gonna piss on my chips today! And just FYI the base is fondant and the rest is butter cream AND I don't particularly like either! However, my daughter has made me a cake with love, for which I am very thankful!
Thank you everyone. (If she doesn't get home quick, I'm gonna crumble!!)

Thank you. I had a lovely party last night and the first thing I said to every single person that walked in was, 'go and look at my cake!'
I make and decorate lots and lots of cakes, so she's obviously got her skill from me. I can't stop looking at it! For a first attempt at a posh cake, it's bloody marvellous!
