As Marie Antoinette famously didn't say! I thought that I'd post some pictures of the cake in action along with the party that went in tow.
It was a really nice party actually with a lady called Wendy Moore coming in to do some henna on the girls. She did a great job creating beautiful patterns on our hands and she was such a lovely lady so thanks Wendy for coming!

| Henna in action! |

| A party of henna hands! The black paste you see on most of the hands eventually dries and flakes off revealing the brown dye. I then got one! As I wear a tribal style ring, I thought it would be cool to get a pattern that would go nicely with it. |

| Depending on how skanky you are, the henna lasts for a couple of weeks. After the henna was tidied away and the girls were off playing games, I went to go and collect the pizzas. I don't think I'll be doing that again any time soon! As a newly passed driver, I found it a somewhat scary experience driving with pizza that was quite hot causing the car to fog up from the inside. Not even the fan seemed to help much so I ended up driving home with the window down! With the pizzas precariously delivered, these were quickly gobbled down. Cake time I think! |
 |
| These were special candles that burnt the colour of the candle. They burn stronger colours than in this picture here but you can see definite shades of greens especially popping out from the flame! |
 |
| So pleased with the size of this cake! I got good comments on the texture too which was light and fluffy. Still though, I don't think it quite lives up to my Nana's sponge which is a classic! Needless to say, the cake has now all gone. Cake as I'm sure is the case in most households never stay around for long! |
