What a cake to start back with after a 3 month absence! This was the cake I made for my lovely nephew, Miles Patrick ‘Milo”s Christening this weekend.
I have to admit The Gruffalo book isn’t one of the favourites of my girls. We prefer Room on the Broom and Monkey Puzzle more. I even had to borrow the book to copy the characters. I made the Gruffalo out of a creme egg. I will do a tutorial here soon. On the morning of the christening, 10 minutes before we set out for the 50 ish mile journey to Leeds my 8 year old daughter decided to tell me that the cake would not be complete without a fox as this is a major character. So a fox’s bum sticking out of the back it was! ( It was lovely to see my 3 year old niece choose the fox as the first thing to eat later that day)
The cake included a snake in a log pile, an owl (eyes peeing out of a black hole in a tree made of pillars) and of course the fox’s bum!
The next 2 weeks will be spent making Baby T’s christening cake – such pressure but a very worthwhile subject!

That is AMAZING!!! My fellas used to love the Gruffalo – I reckon they would have died of happiness had that been put in front of them 🙂
