Do you remember if your party cake was one that mummy made or not???

[UCM]

I don't and quite frankly don't care. She loved me enough to give me a party and that's enough.

Don't remember at all but then I am 43.

Would have been home-made tho as "bought cake" a total no-no in my childhood. M

I can remember the birthday cake my mum put together on my eleventh birthday.....

2 swiss rolls side by side

Clary I am going to be 39 very shortly.

Yeeees but only because as a child my greatest wish was bought pink & yellow Battenburg cake and it was always something homemade that she'd spent ages over. Ugrateful little beggar that I was.

I'm pretty sure some kids want bought cake. I'm pretty sure most don't care.

All cakes have always been made by my wonderful auntie, it was the birthday highlight as they were amazing. so yes we would've noticed

i remember my mum making my cakes. and the party where we all had our tea in separate boxes (i think i was 5). it's partly why i make my kid's cakes (well, mostly. dd was fobbed off with an m&s effort for her 1st birthday. will do better this year!).

My mum knitted me a bat wing jumper. It was black with a shocking pink and electric blue stripe on one sleeve. I loved that jumper .

No. Don't care, either.

Can't remember but I make my sons and they are crap but it makes me feel good

well than must rack brains....

Recall giving mum a present once of a "recipe book" which featured a snowman cake I loved (recipes cut out by me from magazines.)

She made the cake for me!

Mine were homemade and I loved them.

I had a batwing cardie knitted by my mum when she was ill in hospital once. Oh how I loved it (going back a few years now )

my mum made all of our cakes (there was 6 of us!) and they were fantastic. i'm good at making cakes but not yet perfected the art of icing them to perfection but i have made every one so far for my two ds's - DS1's request last birthday was for a lightening Mcqueen cake. haven't yet been given my orders for ds2's this month am hoping for a lego brick or something.[ hmm]

i do it becuase i want to and enjoy it, i don't think dc's care too much as long as it's the theme they want and they have a cake with candles.

my mother did not allow me to have partys

I wore my bat wing jumper to the guide/scout disco with a black pencil skirt, black stilletos and fuschia tights. Classy lassy . It was the 80s mind...

I remember she made a teddy bear cake, and a hedgehog cake, also a Tardis cake. Also remember her buying a Kermit cake and a Paddington cake.

They were all fab and all cake.

It was about 1986 and I was 14.

I feel your pain sally, as I've confessed previously I had hand-me-down brown flip flops and it caused me some mental anguish at the time.

Yeah my batwing cardie was when I was at college, mid 80s too.

Crap.

My mother never made me a batwing cardie.

I shall have words with her in the morning.

lol

Please note from another thread that my mum dislikes my kids' names tho!
