Zara's 9th Birthday

Birthday time again, they come around pretty quickly, you blink and a year has gone by!  I love baking my children's birthday cakes, but as most parents, I struggle to think of ideas for cakes as the children get older.  This year Zara had already decided she wanted a cake like Adam's. ( The one he had for his 12th birthday)
So I though yes great idea, but lets do a girly version. The result was great! A  three layer chocolate cake with  lilac rosette butter icing  with lollies on top.

I started  by baking my no fail chocolate cake x3. ( check the recipe earlier in the blog)  A great cake for birthdays as it is lovely and moist.  We started by icing the layers together and then applying a crumb coat.


 
Icing cakes is always fun with my kids as they always want to lick the bowl !


 



 
The result!
 
I also baked little cup cakes and pastel coloured meringue kisses and some popcorn and fruit, a great party at the beach.
