Bryan's 2nd Birthday

My baby is growing up so fast that sometimes I wish I could just have a "pause" button somewhere ;)

Bryan will be 2 years old this year and as usual, I had already started to shortlist some cartoon charactes that he has been toying with during this year. Here are the shortlist:

1. Double Decker Bus
2. Pororo
3. Barney

Guess what, he gave me a really tough challenge suddenly. "Mummy, I want a fan birthday cake, must be able to spin ok?"I was like "Ok baby" and in my mind I was doing this " OH NO!!! how to make a fan can plus get it to spin!" You can sense the panic in me from miles away!

I was discussing with hubby the other day and he was like " Oh, not a problem, I can cad that on my autocad and you can just cut the cake out using the fan template" . I had to give a huge hug to my dear genius hubby for solving the design issue! hahahahaah I just need to place it on the cake turn table and that solved my spinning issues as well ! Yippee!!

So that comes down to what flavour cake. Bryan immediately piped " chocolate banana cake mummy" ...so all was settled :)

This year was quite an easy task as most of the design and cake flavours were selected with ease.

I began making the cake and cupcakes one day before his birthday and this is our end results :)

Ice cream cone cupcake surprise - the cone rim is welded with hazelnuttella and dark chocolate cereal balls. Underneath the upturned muffin is a treasure trove of candies - mixed M&Ms and japanese jelly chocolate beans. Topping it all is a swirl of nutella, sprinkles of rainbow rice and a marshmellow flower.
