Maybe hold some card board up to stop the sprinkles going on wrong section? (you can tell I've made lots of cakes hey....not) I do hope it goes well, I think you are great for doing it for them and especially having two - post some party pics pretty please :-)Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859635446679188039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533337125550558051.post-58022050346829691062010-09-07T17:56:14.104+10:002010-09-07T17:56:14.104+10:00my fingers are crossed that they come out eventual...my fingers are crossed that they come out eventually for you x<br /><br />im sure they will be perfect and im sure your boys will love them no matter what!carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17039056981071505724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533337125550558051.post-28509607479706736762010-09-07T16:11:55.002+10:002010-09-07T16:11:55.002+10:00We're so funny Jacki!

Apparently it is just a thin layer of icing (does not have to be perfect) and then refrigerate for a couple of hours until it sets then ice over the top it stops the crumbs getting out of control :)<br />I hope you have a lovely day with your little one year old. Where does the time go? I'm certainly tired enough to testify to it being a year though :)<br />Sarah, I agree - I am convinced I want to do a basic cake decorating course - we have many more cakes in our futures!<br />jxxthis jen dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14787027291104632931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533337125550558051.post-54056152404452313802010-09-07T13:16:53.539+10:002010-09-07T13:16:53.539+10:00Jen, I had a practice cake-making session this wee...Jen, I had a practice cake-making session this weekend too! Mine did NOT turn out the way I'd envisioned. The icing just did not look smooth the way I'd hoped, lots of bumps and bits of cake... Still, the littlies won't mind, as long as it's colourful and tastes good!Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307287345268299072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533337125550558051.post-62912333609712977982010-09-07T12:12:44.685+10:002010-09-07T12:12:44.685+10:00I know the feeling...it looks so simple!

My birthday cakes for the last 2 years have not turned out the way I wanted...my husband reminded me that it is all about being a little original!!!I so need to do a little cake making course (just so I can learn the basics)!!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03094672109258221366noreply@blogger.com
