Happy 5th Birthday Sammy! 10/03/2010
A very special birthday wish to Sammy who turns 5 today - hip, hip, hooray! Happy school days to you Sammy. Big hugs xx Add Comment Willy Wonka Party 08/01/2010
I've just finished watching one of my favourite films with the kids, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and really want to organise a Scrumdidilyumptious Willy Wonka party. The only problem is Ella's too young to know who Willy Wonka is and Nathan would rather have a superhero party. Chocolate fountains; giant candy canes, lollipops and gobstoppers; coconut ice, pink macaroons and jelly cups; peanut butter and jam sandwiches; lickable wallpaper; candy floss; sherbet lollies and scrumptious toffee apples; giant toadstools and top hats…it would be a truly delectable party!

Can't decide on a theme for your winter party? Why not serve up some icy fun with a cool snow party? Turn the party room into an artic wonderland and make snow caves by putting white sheets over furniture. Fill small chilli bins with ice, iceblocks or Eskimo pies! Make penguin cupcakes, snowball marshmallow skewers and get the kids to decorate snowflake cookies. If you’re lucky enough to live where it snows, have a snowball fight and make snow angels!

Hip, Hip, Hooray! It's time for cake at Lions & Ladybirds as we celebrate our 1st birthday. Talking of cake, last year the Think Pink Rocks cancer charity in the US secured the World Record for the largest cupcake. It was enormous at 4 1/2 feet high and 6 feet wide. They used: 240 pounds of eggs; 225 pounds of sugar; 510 pounds of flour; 225 pounds of baking powder; vast amounts of oil, vanilla, cocoa, salt, milk and water; and, 350 pounds of icing. It took 24 hours of baking time; 5 bakers; and, an oven 10 feet wide x 10 feet high to make it. I wonder how long it took them to eat it?!
