Hi all,
Just wanted to share a moment I had today that made me feel as though I am now officially ............ a MUMMY. I made (after much chatting with friends and family) my very first themed birthday cake :smiliedance: . I made a Raggs the dog cake for my little mans first birthday party today (a year already :eek: ...).
After much searching on the net, I had to 'go it alone' and start from scratch as there were no instructions or anything for what I wanted. I think it turned out ok, so I took a pic (http://picasaweb.google.com.au/blairsmummy/BlairSFirstBirthday15thDecember2006/photo#5008795829275844050) so you can have a look at my 'debut' into mummyhood. I reached MOTHERhood when I held and fed DS for the first time (so precious), but MUMMYhood (I have now decided) is all that comes after the 1st birthday!!
The whole experience reminded me of all the years I saw my mum and her friends paw over the women's weekly kids cakes books, and seemed to compete as to who could come up with the best cake :laughing: . I guess I'm lucky, as there are no other bubs in our friends and families right now - meaning no comparisons!!! So of course mine's the best *lol*.
DS's 1st party was so much fun for so many reasons, that we all had an awesome day. What a high!!!
It got me thinking though, what was the best cake you ever had as a kid? Mine was probably the tried and true barbie with a marshmallow ball gown skirt :D . Ahhh......... the good 'ol days!
