The Grand Piano Cake


Evening, made this last week.  Bernie made the cake beneath, a luscious chocolate fudge and I was charged with making the piano and little girl itself.  We got the order on the Tuesday for delivery on Friday.  Girl and piano top were fine but the base, body, of the piano was a bit more troublesome.  It was made from fondant and didn't actually have time to set as hard as I would have liked.  Still, the woman and the child, whose birthday it was, were delighted with it.

As for the boys?  Thank God for my sister who came to mind them on Saturday whilst the OH was in Brussels.  Had my first proper migraine in months and it knocked me for six.  Had to cancel girls night in and was weak as a kitten for the day.  Ferocity of my, er, vomiting frightened the life out of the kids.  Funny that, how they don't like their ma being sick.  Still, it all worked out in their favour as their aunt is a sucker and spent a fortune on them in Smyths toys.  Watched Wolverine with three different commentaries supplied by three different children.  What is it with kids that they can't let you watch a movie in peace without providing their thoughts and opinions on what is happening and, worst still when you haven't seen the movie, what is ABOUT to happen.

The Dog?  Still owner sharing with us and the guys at the top of the estate.  They bought him a cool collar and then took it back and put his old one on - the one we'd bought him.  Took his name tag off though.  They look after him well but I do wish they'd get their own dog.
