dd2 isn't fussy so long as its chocolate and has peppa pig on it. DD1 wanted spongebob (why?) so had to buy that.

Made all the fairy/butterfly and cupcakes though for her party was very with myself.

I did the cupcakes & crispies for the kids and muffins & lemon drizzle cake for the grown ups so slightly redeemed myself lol

dd1 wanted a Dora and Winnie Pooh cake so got a Winnie Pooh cake and stuck a Dora candle on it - she didn't notice so I think I got away with it
