Turning 12

DD2 just became 12 years old - this is what she looks like...




G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S inside and out


Nuff with the paparazi!

4 days before party - DD2 asks how the Dr Who cake is going?  Oh, bummer, forgot about that!  A quick online search and 2 images picked, email sent, a couple of calls, confusion of time and space then Voila!

One Dr Who Cake - weird angle makes DT look quite evil!  It even has its own 'Crack in Time'
This was a bit of a bugger to get on the cake nicely, I have to say - not as easy as they say it is!

(this was a Cherry Choc Cake - recipe from here - but it sank amazingly in the middle so I filled the middle with Morello cherries and Choc ganache and then covered the lot with the edible picture)
Still Yum - phew!

Teppanyaki was so much FUN!!!!  (anyone notice the Birthday Hat - Fezzes are Cool!)

Some egg tossing....




Some omelette catching....





This was the (1st) Party Cake  - this cake topper was really good - much happier with this one - on a Choc Hazelnut Sponge (store bought - yes! that's fine!!)

All the kids took a piece home - "I'll have Matt Smith's nose"..
.."the Tardis for me please"...
."I'll have David Tennant's hair...and his lips" (that was DD2)...
