My little boy is turning One this week!! What an amazing year it’s been!
I simply never knew the sheer amount of joy and contentment one tiny person could bring to my life. I’ve also never known exhaustion like it, we’ll gloss over that bit though…
We have taken to calling him ‘little lion’ or ‘lion-heart’ because one of his most favourite games is to storm round our home on hands and knees roaring away to himself or anyone who is within ear shot, so when it came to thinking about his very first birthday cake there seemed only one real option for me, a little lion. A gentle, sleepy, dreamy lion, perfect for a baby’s birthday party.
I’m sure some will say it is over-the-top for a child’s first birthday, i know he won’t remember it. However, I also know i’ve been waiting and hoping for the day when I got to bake my own baby’s first birthday cake for several long, hard years- so for me, this is a very, very big day, a dream come true and very much deserving of an all-out special cake.
Happy birthday gorgeous boy. Love Mumma. xx

OMG, how amazing is this cake?! It seems so alive and Iove the expression on his face!
Thanks very much. So glad you like him. xx
Happy Belated Birthday.
And Wow.
So, so happy for you all.
And what an amazing cake.
That is one of the most stunning, realistic cakes I have ever seen. Do you have any DVDs on airbrushing.
Hi Jacqui – I don’t teach or have any DVD’s – I just play around in my kitchen!! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments. xxx
Hi Jacqui, thanks so much! I don’t have any airbrush DVD’s sadly, i don’t teach either. I just do my own thing and muddle my way through each cake! I don’t think i’m qualified to teach anybody. Thanks for the wonderful comment though, it’s made my day! xxx
