Lily's Second Birthday!

It was Lily's second birthday on Friday, and on the Saturday we celebrated with the whole family at my house.

I made this cake for her - she's an avid fan of Peppa Pig.


The very moist chocolate cake was covered in a homemade marshmallow fondant (which tastes infinitely better than any store bought variety and is very simple to make), and the Peppa and George figures were made from the same fondant, but because it was quite soft they got a little tubbier whilst drying out. 

Lily had a few problems when it came to blowing out the candle, but after some help from her big brother, Noah, (and grandad too), we eventually got to eat it!  Delicious.


George ended up looking up at the sky - I'm thinking that maybe he saw an airplane or a bird overhead? !!
